Andean Awakening: An Incan Guide to Mystical Peru

I had the honour and pleasure of travelling with Jorge Luis Delgado this past May. It was with much anticipation I awaited to purchase my copy of this amazing shamans book. The Andean Awakening is a most pure reflection of mystical Peru narrated by Jorge. As the images of my travels fade I need only open the pages of this book to bring the stories and places alive again. He is a gifted shaman, teacher and narrater. He is a true Chacana - bridging the north and the south. I would recommend to anyone in search of spritt in Mystical Peru.

Through this book Jorge and MaryAnn lead you on an unforgettable journey throughout Peru's Sacred Valley including Machu Picchu , Cuzco and Lake Titicaca. Jorge's teachings of Incan traditions, rituals and ceremonies allow the reader to feel connected with Pachamama (Mother Earth), the Sacred Apu (Mountain Spirits) and the Peruvian People. He speaks of the spirit world and one's connection to it through their authentic self. This book makes you want to board the nearest plane and travel to Peru to experience such a powerful and special place!

My husband and I had the incredible honor of meeting and traveling with Jorge Luis Delgado in Peru a few weeks prior to the release of this book. We went to Peru to visit the sacred sites and were blessed with Jorge as our local guide. We had no idea beforehand! Jorge is authentic, warm and caring individual who treats people as extended family members. He is also a virtual encyclopedia of knowledge on the mystical and sacred of Peru and an excellent teacher. Reading this was like being there with him again, in all the splendor and radiance of the magic of Peru that Jorge truly embodies as a person and beloved shaman. Jorge 'lives Peru'--he doesn't just study the teachings and the history and report--and he shares his wisdom beautifully in this book.

If you have ever thought about travel to Peru, to see it's people and places then this book is very informative. But what a trip! This book is like the Holy Grail of Peru. It focuses on mystical Peru. Even if you never travel to Peru it will take you on a fascinating journey. It is also a fascinating story of a real Shaman living in our own time. A must read for anyone interested in Peru or mystical journies.

Wonderful, beautifully expressed real story of one of the Coolest people on the planet. Jorge Luis is down to earth while constantly in touch with the highest levels of Consciousness. He is kind and generous, intelligent and fun. His hotel reflects his soul. In his presence you can feel transported to another, very pleasant dimension. Read this book to sample a tiny bit of a visit to the most perfect place in the Universe.
