• Unless you are traveling with a friend or your partner, shared rooms will be assigned in the order
the registrations are received. In case the final group is an odd number, the last person that signs
up may have to stay in a single room and therefore pay the add-on of US$325.
• If you need to arrive a day early due to flight connections, please let me know and I can help you to
reserve your room at Paz y Luz.
GROUP SIZE
This proposal is designed for group sizes with a maximum of 13 people each in order to be able to share
an intimate and personal experience. A minimum of 10 people is required for the trip to be confirmed
at this price. In case there are less people, everbody that signed up will be contacted to see if there
is an interest to continue with the trip at a slightly higher price per person, which will be based on the
number of people registered at that time.
As many have shown interest in joining, I recommend proceeding with securing your spot asap as no
reservations will be accepted once the 13th reservation is received. If you cannot make it this time, I
look forward to sharing this magical experience with you on the next trip for the soul!

TRAVEL INSURANCE
MayanKin and its associates highly recommend purchasing Travel Insurance in case you need to
cancel your trip or have any inconvenience while in Peru. You may want to check first with your health
insurance or credit card company to learn about your current international coverage. There are many
that offer this type of insurance. Check with your airline or visit specialized insurance companies like
www.travelexinsurance.com or www.allianztravelinsurance.com.

MISCELLANEOUS
While we travel as a group and share a wonderful time together, the invitation for this trip is personal.
Everybody has their own paths, rhythms and intentions, so it is a priority to ensure each person feels
comfortable to experience the trip in his or her own way.
As we weave our Dreamcatchers throughout several days, we will have plenty of opportunities to
consciously connect with our personal intentions and what we are ready to heal, attract, transform
and manifest in our lives. And if you are just looking to come to Peru and have a great time as you
experience the local traditions, that’s perfect too!
Each morning we will share the energies of the Tzolkin, the Sacred Mayan Calendar in its modern
interpretation, as a way to get in tune with the cycle. All activities are simple, practical and experiential and require no previous knowledge.
Look forward to seeing you in Peru! In the meantime, I invite you to enjoy the photos on my website.
