Early taxi, Cusco check-in quirks, long LIM layover, LAX customs/recheck, delayed hop to SFO—and a few hard-won tips for smoother connections.

Cusco Return, Gifts, and Early Flight Morning: Breakfast & Goodbyes at Monesanco On the morning of October 25th, I had a last breakfast with the group at Munay Sonqo. We took a group photo and we got to take individual photos with Maestro Hamilton. And somebody started a WhatsApp group and we all joined. And…

The Second Ayahuasca Ceremony: Learning to Stay Present Through the Intensity Arriving with Caution and Intention The second ayahuasca ceremony began at 5 p.m., and I was nervous — mostly about the possibility of peeing my pants again while throwing up.

Day 6 – San Pedro Ceremony Last night, I woke up around 2:30 and again at 4:30, but I actually slept pretty well considering it was the night after the ayahuasca ceremony. This morning there wasn’t breakfast, but there was tea at seven. Around 7:30, I went to get some coca tea, and the San…

First Day in Cusco When I arrived in Cusco, it was so interesting. The infrastructure here is so different from what I’m used to. It’s a very small airport, and everything was easy — my bag arrived, I met my taxi driver easily, and it’s only about 15 minutes to where I’m staying. I was…

My First Day in Peru I woke up at 7 AM on the 15th, the day of my flight, and it was so nice to not have to leave for the airport at the crack of dawn. I had my last cup of green tea and snuggled with each of the cats for a little…
