Coca Leaf Reading

Coca leaf reading is an ancestral practice rooted in Andean cultures. Performed by shamans, this tradition consists of interpreting the arrangement and characteristics of the leaves to obtain answers to questions about various aspects of life, such as health, love or work. Considered a means of spiritual connection with nature, this practice is linked to deep beliefs and is highly respected in many communities.

Reserve at least two weeks prior. Each reading is personal and takes around 25 minutes per person.
