Peregrinación Qoyllur Rit’i 2023: El Mejor Circuito Religioso de Cusco
No hay acontecimiento en el mundo comparable a la fiesta de alta montaña del Qoyllur Rit’i (o «Estrella de Nieve» en quechua). Esta impresionante celebración es una oportunidad increíble para vivir de cerca la cultura andina. El Qoyllur Rit’i es una peregrinación anual de decenas de miles de personas, en su mayoría de pueblos de montaña, al glaciar Sinakara. Allí rinden culto al Taytacha (Padre Tierra), a Jesús, a la Virgen María y a las poderosas deidades Apu que habitan en las cuatro montañas circundantes (Ausangate, Hunacauri, Qanyaqway y Colquepunku).

El itinerario perfecto de 3 días
Día 1 (4 de junio): A Qoyllur Rit’i
Saliendo de Cuzco hacia las 8 de la mañana, haremos el viaje de tres horas a Mawayani para comenzar la peregrinación. Después de un almuerzo ligero, nos embarcaremos en una caminata de moderada a exigente de 2½ a 3 horas, cubriendo aproximadamente 8 kilómetros (5 millas). Las mulas de carga y los arrieros nos ayudarán a transportar el equipo y tus pertenencias personales mientras ascendemos desde los 4.500 metros (12.800 pies) hasta el Santuario del Señor de Qoyllur Rit’i, situado a 4.500 metros (3.900 m.s.n.m. – 4.800 m.s.n.m.).
Los grupos de danza que representan a diferentes pueblos y grupos comunitarios -conocidos como comparsas- actúan con trajes asombrosamente elaborados que representan a diferentes personajes religiosos y míticos. Los protagonistas son los Ukukus, criaturas míticas mitad hombre mitad oso, que representan a los espíritus guardianes de la fiesta.
Nos instalaremos para cenar en nuestro cómodo campamento, entre decenas de miles de otros peregrinos. (L/D)
Día 2 (5 de junio): Qoyllur Rit’i
Tras un desayuno temprano, iremos a la iglesia para participar en la misa especial dedicada a El Señor del Qoyllur Rit’i. Después iniciaremos la marcha colectiva al santuario sagrado de la montaña de Qoyllur Rit’i para presenciar y participar en ritos y costumbres ancestrales.
Los vendedores venden «alacitas», o pequeños recuerdos, para llevar a la capilla y que te bendigan en un gesto simbólico para conseguir el deseo de tu corazón. Se dice que si asistes al festival tres años seguidos para esta bendición, tendrás asegurado que se te conceda tu deseo. La música hipnótica de gaitas y tambores de escala pentatónica llena el aire y durante toda la noche se disparan enormes fuegos artificiales montados sobre enormes andamios rústicos. (D/A/C)
Día 3 (6 de junio): Regreso a Cusco
Después de desayunar temprano, nos uniremos a la fila de peregrinos que descienden por el valle hasta Mawayani, donde nos espera nuestro vehículo para regresar a Cuzco, donde llegaremos sobre las 14.00 h. (D/A).

Nota sobre las condiciones en Qoyllur Rit’i 2023
Este viaje es extenuante y no apto para los débiles de corazón. Implica senderismo y una noche de acampada a gran altitud y es adecuado para personas que se consideren aventureras. Estarás rodeado de decenas de miles de otros campistas.
Experimentarás multitudes alborotadas, la curiosidad de gente que puede no haber visto nunca antes a un extranjero, y comida que no necesariamente estará preparada con los mismos niveles de higiene a los que puedes estar acostumbrado.
Se trata de un viaje a lo más profundo de una cultura rural tradicional y, como tal, además de ser muy gratificante, conlleva una disminución del nivel de vida durante los pocos días que estemos inmersos en la celebración.
Estarás con un guía muy experimentado que te hará la vida lo más cómoda posible, pero puede que experimentes algunos momentos de incomodidad. Dicho todo esto, la recompensa son dos días y dos noches de increíble música tradicional, danza y fuegos artificiales que pocos viajeros extranjeros experimentan.

EXCELLENT Based on 182 reviews Posted on A WVerified Five day adventure in Nazca I highly recommend Fertur Travel. Our contact was Nicolle who organised a five day return trip from Lima to Nazca for me and my husband. Everything was planned well and the itinerary included everywhere we wanted to visit. She kept in touch regularly to ensure all was ok. The driver, Ricardo, was excellent. he made our journey comfortable, was helpful and informative too. Our guide from Lima to Nazca, Susie, was delightful company and very knowledgeable making the journey extremely interesting, telling us so much about Peru, local customs and the areas we were travelling through. Our guide in Nazca, Hector, was also very good and told us so much about the history of the area. The whole experience was a great introduction to Peru and its peoplePosted on Chrispy56Verified Nazca and northern Peru tour Three of us used Fertur to plan a trip to Nazca and the Moche and Chimu sites in northern Peru. Milagros Quintana from Fertur helped in planning it, and throughout the planning process and the tour itself kept in touch with us repeatedly. The guides, drivers and hotels she booked were first rate and the sites we saw and the experiences we had are unforgettable. Five stars all the way,Posted on Antonella NVerified Wonderful experience We had a truly unforgettable experience in Peru, and a big part of that is thanks to Ferr Turr Travel.From the very beginning, the agency proved to be professional, reliable, and incredibly attentive to our needs. Every detail of the trip was carefully planned, allowing us to fully enjoy the beauty and richness of this amazing country.What really stood out, however, was the agency’s support and seriousness during a particularly tense moment related to the situation at Machu Picchu. In a time of uncertainty, the Ferr Turr Travel team remained calm, available, and proactive — making us feel safe, informed, and cared for throughout.It’s rare to find such a perfect balance of professionalism and genuine human warmth. We are deeply grateful to Ferr Turr Travel for making our journey not only smooth and well-organized, but also deeply meaningful.Highly recommended to anyone who wants to discover Peru with peace of mind and a touch of magic.Posted on Fabio CVerified Worthwhile experience!

This could have not been possible without Fertur Travel. Right from planning to till the end of the trip I have been in constant contact with Meligros. or other agent from Fertur travel. She is the best. We have been to Lima, Paracus, Huccachina, Cusco, Sacred vallelley, Machu Picchu and Rainbow mountain. Sand dunes, sand sliding and buggy ride at Huccachina were the best in the trip. When we went to Cusco, her colleague, Alex in Cusco welcomed us at the Airport and accompanied us to the hotel. He explained the Cusco trip plan. On the last day he droped us airport and have farewell. Even when I forgot my jacket in the van they got it back next day. We never had issues with transpotation or accomodation. Our guides and drivers were awesome. Our family really enjoed the trip. In July the mountains in Cusco were brown as it was winter in Peru. We will visiti Peru again during summer and to see green mountains. We thank Fertur Peru travel for making this trip so memorable and enjoyable.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
