Don Martin Pinedo Acuna ("El Condor") was born and raised in Paruro (a province of Cuzco, the ancient capital of Peru). He was the apprentice of the famous Don Benito Corihuaman. After Don Benito's death, Don Martin inherited his mesa and his knowledge. He lives in the village of Huasao, Peru where he heals people every day. He is the keeper of the sacred Apu (mountain) named Pachatusan ("where the Earth dances"), the main Apu of the city of Cuzco. His special gift comes through the eyes, wings and energy of the Condor. His work with seeing the future, with healing stones, the Earth-honoring ceremony (Despacho), and flute-playing is legendary and not to be missed.

Doña Isabel Chinguel and Doña Olinda Pintado are famous Curanderas from the North Coast of Peru, featured in Dr. Bonnie Glass-Coffin's acclaimed book, "The Gift of Life." They both were born in Las Huaringas region, near Piura. "The Twins" live and work in Chiclayo, using their "Angel's Hands", their mesa and its artes (stones, staffs, and swords), egg and candle cleansings, and healing herbs to help people.

Marco Nunez Zamalloa is our interpreter and will be assisting. A graduate of San Antonio Abad del Cusco University, he is a mesa carrier and a tour operator. Dr. Michael Verrilli, DO and Deborah Uller will also be assisting. They are Workshop/Retreat leaders and Shamanic Healers and mesa carriers.
