"With Carolynne’s guidance I was able to experience Peru and Bolivia in a way few ever have or ever will. It was a gradual awakening to my connection with Nature and to my connection to my inner self. The condor, the messenger and guardian of the Andes, led me from day one and with the Shaman of each area of the Andean Spiritual Triangle I was guided on an amazing journey. Never in all my travels have I been able to experience the people, the culture, the natural beauty, the history and the spirit of the country as I have on this journey to Peru and Bolivia. I look forward to returning to grow even more."
Brent from Calgary, Canada
"Peru packs a rich combination of stunning beauty, colourful culture, friendly people, and deep spirituality. I tend to seek travel experiences not typically found in guidebooks, and Carolynne assisted us in creating just such an inspiring journey. Highlights included the sacred waters of Lake Titicaca, the islands of the Sun and Moon, tracing the Inca Trail alongside an amazing local shaman, and participating in spiritually awakening ceremonies at the sanctuary of Machu Picchu and deep within the Amazon jungle. With Carolynne’s loving guidance, our trip was an opportunity to discover Peru, but it was also a precious opportunity for self-discovery as well. It was a remarkable and life altering journey. Thank you so much, Carolynne."

"journey with Carolynne Melnyk into the Heart of the Plant Medicine world was an unforgettable sojourn into the Depth of My soul, to the very Essence of My Being. For two and half weeks the first time around, I encountered the magic of the ayahuasca plant brew in full force, it was at once both healing and purgative. However, Scott and Walter, the shamans at the Refugio were not only supportive, but very attentive. The icaros as they flowed from Walter were beyond words. They were a grounding force, as anchor that kept me from leaping out of my body into the infinite without return. When Walter signs, the Magic of the Plants is aroused.
I also had the opportunity to experience San Pedro for the first time, well, funny that I ended the sentence with time, because after consuming it I felt timeless, I felt as if I were a part of the whole environment surrounding me at the time. Visions? Talk about visions. San Pedro does indeed open up to the Mystical or Third eye like I have never experienced. Under the careful and meticulous guidance of Kucho, the San Pedro shaman and Machu Picchu Guardian, I knew I was safe because I felt nothing but love radiating from this man! These packages represent Carolynne’s most ambitious understanding yet in sharing with the world, the beauty and majesty of a simple people, yet a people with much heart and soul, whose wisdom is overlooked by conventional thinking and society. These are experiential tours, not passive gawking tours. They are recommended for the serious of heart, for those who know that they are ready for the deeper plunge in the unknown, but as you trust and surrender to the plant, the medicine, the energies thereof, you r life is changed forever."

"I can without hesitation recommend Andean Triangle Spiritual Journeys to anyone seriously interested in exploring the energies of Peruvian sacred sites, or their own spiritual realities. Through bringing the traveler to Lake Titicaca, Cusco, Machu Picchu and Jungle, the journey offers experiences of a wide variety of external and internal landscapes and energies. The inclusion of plant medicine work heightens the intensity of the experience a lot – anyone seriously interested in receiving healing and vision will definitely receive it on this journey! My warm gratitude goes to Carolynne and the other guides on the trip, and I wish you the opportunity to travel with them!"

"This journey proved to be everything I had desired and then some. I had great intentions to go through some deep personal/spiritual transformation and healing as well as connect with the splendor of such a magical country. The components involved in this “tour” were the perfect equation for such success. Each part of the trip is crafted with such sacred intention that you cannot help but come out refreshed on the other side. Carolynne proved to be not only an awesome guide but also an understanding friend. She was a wealth of information in regards to the ways of shamanism and offered an informative entrance into the use of the sacred plant medicines. Her own personal experience brought much applicable knowledge and stories to ignite the moving tapestry of the journey at hand.
All the other guides affiliated with the tour were just as amazing as each had there own unique piece of wisdom and style to offer. From the sacred lake to the majestic mountains, the reverence of Machu Picchu and the absolute charged wonder of the jungle this trip is for anyone with the desire to reawaken further and connect to the splendor of the Pacha Mama!
