🌄 Puma Wanka: The Guardian of Kaipacha | A Sacred Valley Story 🌄
In this heartfelt conversation, we journey into the Sacred Valley of Cusco, Peru — a land filled with ancient wisdom, deep connections, and living traditions.
✨ Discover the meaning of Puma Wanka ("the place where the puma resides") in Quechua, and why the puma is the guardian of Kaipacha, the world of humans and animals in Inca cosmology. Together with Hananpacha (the heavens) and Urupacha (the underworld), these three realms form the Incan vision of existence — past, present, and future.
🏔️ Our guest shares her personal story of finding home in the Sacred Valley, her first emotional arrival in Cusco, and how she and her family embraced Peruvian culture, community, and traditions. From the symbolism of the Chakana (Inca Cross) to the living energy of the valley, this is a reflection on belonging, sacredness, and living in harmony with nature.
🌱 Along the way, we talk about:
The guardians of the three Incan worlds (condor, puma, serpent)
The Sacred Valley as a reflection of the Milky Way
Life in Urubamba and Rumichaka, among neighbors and friends The difference between "plastic" living and the "real world" Sharing sacred space with visitors through love and hospitality
💫 Whether you are drawn to Incan spirituality, travel in Peru, or simply the idea of finding a true home, this conversation will inspire you to connect more deeply with the land, with others, and with the present moment.
