 Here's what former guests say about their Sacred Journey to
Peru with Journeys for the Soul:

" Ascending the Incan trail, watching Machu Picchu rise behind in the mist and realizing the history of the land and the people who walked before me was a peak experience.  Even at the ripe young age of 72, I never felt physically challenged as the high energy of the valley carried me along.  I enjoyed coming back each night to the colorful gardens of Wilka Tika with special meditation areas for each Chakra. The guides were impeccable interpreting in detail the mysteries of each destination and the traditions of the people. The cuisine was exquisitely delicious and nourishing. David & Kerrie were exceptional hosts, inspiring, caring and informing and smiling every step of the way."
~ Carol Cushing

"Never in my life have I felt so connected to all of creation and so important to the evolution of creation.  My eyes, heart and mind never felt so open! It was the beginning of a whole new "ME" and my awakening.  In actuality, it changed me and then I changed my life!  If you knew you could never fail, what would you do?
~ David Haro

"What an adventure! The children at the Andean school really enjoyed interacting with us as we sang songs to each other.  I was impressed with the accommodations and the hospitality of the people to ensure our comfort. I loved getting the opportunity to be up close and personal with David Wolfe- his talks were very informative.  I really enjoyed the ceremonies presented by the Andean Shaman and his sons." 
~ Cheryl Hernandez

"Traveling to Peru with David Wolfe & Kerrie Dancing Butterfly was an experience of a lifetime!"
~ Steve Lund

"Peru was a life-altering experience.  It was the one journey where I took the experience back with me for good.  It (and Pacha Mama) still haven't left me - like so many other travels that have faded to postcards or photographs."
~Jacquie Jordan
