PLEASE NOTE: While this is spoken of in the Terms and Conditions I feel it is important to illuminate here. The itinerary as presented is subject to change. Our visits to sites mentioned, and other sites not mentioned, are subject to conditions within the country visited. For instance, once there was a strike which prevented access to roadways and trains for two days. The itinerary had to be altered – this kind of thing happens! We didn’t miss anything – we simply re-arranged our dates and hotels. We work with shamans who join us from various mountaintop and other locations at different times. Each one brings different wisdom and knowledge to our group. We schedule events with the shamans subject to their availability and the location in which they are available. Therefore, it is impossible to know which shamans will be with us on which days.
