Hoja de Coca Experience
The coca leaf is a symbol, medicine, and memory of the South. In this experience guided by indigenous communities of the Sierra Nevada, you will discover its true meaning: a sacred plant that represents balance, energy, and connection with nature. Through dialogue with local elders, you will learn about its ancestral history, its role in the worldview of native peoples, and the rituals that have accompanied it since time immemorial.
More than just an activity, it's an opportunity to listen, learn, and see the world from a different perspective. This gathering fosters the sharing of Indigenous thought, the spiritual connection to the land, and a profound respect for the elements that sustain us. The coca leaf thus becomes a bridge between cultures, a common language that invites reflection and understanding.
At MuchoSur we believe that understanding the coca leaf is understanding the wisdom of the South: that which teaches us to live in harmony, to care for what surrounds us and to recognize in nature the origin of all life.
