Maestro Alcides

Maestro Alcides is a Medicine Man from the Andes, a guardian of the ancient wisdom carried through generations by his Incan ancestors. Rooted in a deep spiritual lineage, he walks the path of sacred service with humility, compassion, and a profound connection to the natural world.

Born into this tradition, Alcides was initiated in ancestral medicine at an early age, guided by Qero elders who recognized his old soul and natural attunement to the Earth’s rhythms.  Wachuma, also known as San Pedro, became his primary ally—a sacred cactus revered for millennia for its healing and visionary properties. Through this powerful plant teacher, Maestro Alcides helps others reconnect with their hearts, their spirits, and Pachamama, Mother Earth.

Alcides approaches his work as a humble steward of medicine, holding space with deep respect and love. In his ceremonies, the spirit of Wachuma flows gently, opening pathways to clarity, balance, and profound healing. His presence reflects an ancient knowing—rooted, grounded, and timeless—while his gentle guidance brings participants into harmony with nature and their inner truth.

A true son of the Andes, Maestro Alcides embodies the wisdom of his ancestors while walking tenderly in the present. He reminds all who sit with him that healing is not a destination but a return—to the Earth, to community, and to the infinite wisdom within. With every ceremony, Alcides carries the lineage forward, offering Wachuma as a bridge to love, connection, and transformation.
