Coca leaf reading (kuka qhaway) is an ancestral Andean divinatory practice in which a reader interprets coca leaves to offer spiritual and personal guidance.
Guided by an experienced reader, the session includes a prayer asking Mamacoca for permission, the opening of the oracle, and a personalized reading for each participant.
Ayahuasca Retreat Cusco invites you to this brief experience, deeply connected to Andean tradition.
