PETER GORMAN'S Shamanism and the Sacred Sites of Peru Tours
An Experience Beyond Imagination with the Master Plant Teachers in the Heart of Peru

Peru is one of the world's truly unique countries. Geographically, it's located on the western coast of South America, just south of Ecuador and north of Bolivia and Argentina. While it's western shore is largely one of the world's great deserts, down it's spine run the Andes mountains, the second highest mountain range in the world, and to their immediate east lies the Peruvian Amazon, one of the world's densest jungle areas.

While survival in any of the three climactic extremes should have been difficult, in fact, all three regions of Peru have been successfully inhabited for several thousand years.

TESTIMONY

I have traveled all over the world on both business and pleasure. I have traveled on my own and with organized tour groups. I must say that the three adventure trips I have made with Peter Gorman were not only the best vacation getaways I’ve ever had but also they far exceeded my expectations; and my expectations were set pretty high.

I recommend Peter for anyone, from novice to “old pro”. His trips are educational, fun and most importantly they have a touch of magic.

In my opinion, this is at least in part due to the Peruvian peoples' reliance on three extraordinary plants: Ayahuasca, San Pedro cactus, and the Coca leaf. While the Coca leaf is considered one of the Minor Plant Teachers, both Ayahuasca and San Pedro cactus are considered among the Seven Master Plant Teachers of the human race.

Each of the Seven have their own peculiarities, but each is said to possess the ability to allow man, on their ingestion, to expand his perception to temporarily access other levels of reality normally prohibited to all but the visionaries, the dying, the very young and those trapped in moments of extreme stress.

Peter Gorman, will lead several tours to some of his favorite haunts in Peru in 2007. The tours will focus on the shamanism, spirituality, and healing of the region in which we are travelling. They will each be slightly different, depending on the needs of the individuals in the group. But they will all be special. Come with us and explore this magical and mysterious land for a trip that just may leave you forever changed.

Shamanism in the Upper Amazon

Peter Gorman will lead several expeditions to some of his favorite haunts in the Upper Amazon, in and around Iquitos, Peru, during 2007.

HIGHLAND JAUNT
with Peter Gorman

Cuzco, Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley
Traditional Shamanism in the Andes

Peter Gorman will lead several tours in and around Cuzco, Peru during 2007. The trips will focus on the anthropology, archaeology and shamanism of the region, and include visits to Sacsayhuaman, the Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu, along with two opportunities to participate in San Pedro ceremonies. The San Pedro cactus is one of the seven Master Plant Teachers and the traditional healing medicine of the Andes.

TESTIMONY

A trip to Peru with Peter is not an ordinary tourist trip, not at all. You will see Peru through the eyes of those who live there, seeing the real heart of Peru—the majesty and the magic of the Andes, or the soul of the Amazon Jungle.

You will also, with the experiences that Peter can provide, come face to face with yourself. Are you ready?
