www.sapadventures.net/ If you would like your group to be "closed", meaning you would like a private service only for you or your family or friends, this is entirely possible. With this tour you are given more flexibility to walk at your own pace and have the guide to yourselves. Everything is done so that the trek is nothing of a 'roughing it' experience. You will only carry a small day-pack (which should include items such as a waterproof jacket, sun protection cream, insect repellent, water and camera) – porters will carry the rest of your personal belongings. In general you will have an all round more personal service!

"Since the dawn of humankind, rituals have served to build and reaffirm social networks and bonds of cooperation. As with American Thanksgiving, human rituals are often characterized by the consumption of specified foods and drinks (feasting) as well as mythologized histories. This very large Inca Aryballo was used for brewing chicha (corn beer) for festivals in Peru in the 15th century."
