Lucia (Apu Healing Center)

Lucia is an Andean Quechua leader, elder, and medicine woman from the Amaru community, known for her deep wisdom, her skill in weaving textiles, and her heartfelt devotion to Pachamama. Raised in the high Andes, she grew up learning to honor Alpa Mama, Mother Earth, and the sacred Apus, the mountains, through offerings rooted in gratitude and respect. Today, she shares this living tradition with warmth and generosity, inviting guests to connect more deeply with the spirit of the Andes.

Visitors are welcomed into an authentic healing experience shaped by family, land, and ancestral knowledge. Lucia also lovingly cares for her animals, including llamas, sheep, alpacas, dogs, guinea pigs, and chickens, reflecting the harmony of daily life in her community. During the experience, she offers traditional Andean meals with her family, along with medicinal breakfasts prepared from ingredients gathered from the sacred lands. It is a meaningful opportunity to witness Andean culture, nourishment, and reverence for nature in a truly personal setting.
