Calcination
Day 1: Friday March 27th
Depart from Amsterdam Schiphol at 11:40 on the direct KLM flight to Jorge Chavez Lima, arriving at 18:10. You are flying in Economy, Standard class. You are allowed to bring a maximum of one bag, suitcase, or backpack weighing up to 23 kg as checked baggage. Please note that for domestic flights in Peru, you are only allowed a maximum of 12 kg of checked baggage! For hand luggage on this flight, you may bring one piece measuring 40 cm x 30 cm x 15 cm.
You will be greeted and welcomed upon arrival at Jorge Chavez Airport by your tour guide Peter van Haren. You will then be escorted to a comfortable hotel in Barranco, a luxurious artistic neighborhood on the coast in central Lima. For those interested, we can take an evening stroll through the lively artistic center for a first introduction to this metropolis of around 10 million inhabitants. Lima is situated on a high, immense cliff along the coast of the Pacific Ocean. At this time of year, it is summer, meaning temperatures are around 23 degrees Celsius.
Day 2: Saturday March 28th
Acclimatization day, a day to recover from the 12-hour flight and the 6-hour time difference (ahead of NL time). Today we will take a joint walk along the coast to the boulevard in Miraflores, the commercial center of Lima with many luxurious restaurants, bars, and shops. This day will give you a good impression of beautiful Lima.
Dissolution
Day 3: Sunday, March 29
Today we fly to Jauja, where we will meet the Peruvian Shaman and his famous Ayahuasca Experience. This day will primarily focus on preparing for the Ayahuasca ritual. We will meet Shaman Danny Manuel Maita Mayor, who will introduce the subject and welcome us. The Ayahuasca Ritual begins this evening. Paul and Peter will be on standby but will not participate in the session to protect the group and/or provide mental support if needed.
Day 4: Monday, March 30
During the day, you can share your experiences with each other, with the Shaman, and/or with Paul and Peter. We also advise you to rest and gather energy for the second night of Ayahuasca.
All of this takes place in a secluded Recreo. Your luxurious bedroom with a private bathroom is easily accessible, and there is a restaurant in the large garden.
Your well-being and health are, of course, our top priority, and we provide you with the safest possible environment!
Separation
Day 5: Tuesday, March 31
Today is dedicated to recuperation, processing, and relaxation! An extremely interesting day of gaining perspective in many aspects awaits you.
Day 6: Wednesday, April 01
We fly to Lima, Old Center. Since there are few connecting flights available, almost all flights go via Lima. Tonight we will stay in the center of Lima and take an evening bus tour through the old city center.
Day 7: Thursday, April 02
We fly to Cusco, the town that has become world-famous for its role as the starting point for trips to Machu Picchu. Cusco (located at about 3,400 meters) is beautiful, and as you walk through its small streets, with a bit of observation and imagination, you can immerse yourself in the Inca culture of the past. We will stay here for 3 nights in a charming, atmospheric hotel close to the city center.
Everyone can chart their own course and come and go as they please. Perhaps get some laundry done somewhere? Of course, for these kinds of practical matters and many other tips, you can turn to Tour Guide Peter. A recommended activity is a visit to Rainbow Mountain.
Conjunction
Day 8: Friday, April 3
We will travel by a luxurious train through the mountains to the World Wonder and back. This day is dedicated to visiting one of the seven official world wonders, Machu Picchu. This 15th-century Inca citadel is famous for its sophisticated stone architecture. Situated in the Andes Mountains at approximately 2,450 meters, it is surrounded by tropical rainforest. But in truth, any further words we might add would only detract from the actual beauty of the reality. We anticipate this day to be long, intense, and overwhelming—a day that will remain with you for the rest of your life.
Day 9: Saturday, April 4
Free day in Cusco. Everyone can plan their own route and come and go as they please. Perhaps get some laundry done? Of course, for such practical matters and many other tips, you can turn to Tour Guide Peter. A recommended activity is a visit to Rainbow Mountain.
Day 10: Sunday, April 5
We will travel by plane to Puerto Maldonado, a beautiful jungle city in southeastern Peru, the capital of the Madre de Dios district and the Gateway to the Peruvian Amazon Rainforest.
Located at the confluence of the Tambopata and Madre de Dios rivers, this protected National Park offers an immense range of jungle biodiversity.
Fermentation
Day 11: Monday, April 06 & Day 12: Tuesday, April 07
We will be picked up by a professional tour operator for a 2-Day Jungle Tour. Meals and accommodation will also be provided by them. Over the coming days, we will be hiking, taking boat trips, and above all, seeing plenty of animals, plants, trees, and other natural wonders. For those who are interested, this will be a great opportunity to ask the tour operator's guides lots of questions. Most guides speak reasonably good English, and if not, Peter can act as a mediator.
On our last evening in the jungle, we will check into a comfortable hotel.
Day 13: Wednesday, April 08
We will fly back from Puerto Maldonado to Lima. Back to luxury, convenience, and comfort—something most of us will likely be craving by now. Paul and Peter certainly are. We have chosen a 5-Star Hotel with a classy restaurant, gym, swimming pool, and a cozy bar.
Distillation
Day 14: Thursday, April 9
A relaxation day in Lima. Everyone is free to explore the city at their own pace or relax at the luxury hotel. It's a good time to buy souvenirs. Peter is, as always, available with tips for those who need them. Depending on interest, we can of course arrange a group activity for those who wish to join.
Day 15: Friday, April 10
Today, the group returns to the Netherlands. We check out at 12:00. We can have a farewell lunch together for those who are interested, after which we will head to the airport: Aeropuerto Internacional Jorge Chávez, where we will at least temporarily bid each other farewell. We need to start checking in at 14:00, as the direct KLM flight to Amsterdam departs at 17:00.
Day 16: Saturday, April 11
Arrival in Amsterdam at 12:50 local time. Your Purpose Peru Tour has come to an end. Everyone will have experienced it in their own way. What we can guarantee you is an Unforgettable Adventure!

Purpose Peru Journey

Being reborn through the alchemical process of turning lead into gold. Here, lead represents base emotions such as guilt, shame, and anger, while gold symbolizes freedom.

About your tour operators
At your service are your professional tour guide Peter van Haren, a Dutchman who has lived in Peru for over 20 years and has guided groups through almost the entire country, and last but not least, Paul van Schaik, your spiritual teacher.
Perhaps a fun detail to know... Paul and Peter have been friends since the early 90s and have collaborated on various projects in the past. We are excited to be working together again now.
Peter: "I have always respected Paul for his independence and strong-mindedness, which he has been able to translate into a captivating and engaging philosophy. Paul is full of contradictions. A tough, boxing rock bassist who has dedicated his life to contemplating essential matters and expressing them through writing, storytelling, and teaching, often with a healthy dose of humor."
Paul: "Peter is quite a character. He is a courageous guy, persevering, enterprising, adventurous, great sense of humor, wide-range of interests, a great storyteller and above all: the best touroperator on the planet".
With this project, after many years of each going our own ways, we have arrived at a fascinating crossroads once again... A crossroads of diverse ideas that still spark and, of course, also share significant common ground – hence this initiative, from which you may reap the benefits.
Welcome, Bienvenido, Allinlla chayaykamuy...
