Saturday, June 17, 2017 – Journey within Peru – Flight from Cuzco to Lima and Lima to Iquitos.

Saturday, June 17 – Flight from Cuzco to Lima followed by flight Lima to Iquitos.

Personal notes:

We all got up early to go to the Airport of Cuzco. From Lima Airport to fly to Iquitos and stay overnight there.

Iquitos is a very busy traffic town with many people as well. Most people travel within the city via bus, motorcycle, or the ubiquitous auto rickshaw (mototaxi, motocarro or motocar). This is a modified motorcycle with a cabin behind supported by two wheels, seating up to three persons. Transportation to nearby towns often requires a river trip via pequepeque, a small public motorized boat. With a small group of ladies we went into town to explore do some shopping at a supermarket and had dinner there. Quite a experience. The Hotel had many lovely pieces of Art on the walls as well. We shared a room with the three of us.

Iquitos, also known as Iquitos City, is the capital city of _Peru’s Maynas Province and Loreto Region. The largest metropolis in the Peruvian Amazon, east of the Andes, it is the sixth most populous city of Peru.

It is known as the “capital of the Peruvian Amazon.” The city is located in the Great Plains of the Amazon Basin, fed by the Amazon, Nanay and Itaya rivers. Overall, it constitutes the Iquitos metropolitan area, a conurbation of 471,993 inhabitants consisting of four districts: Iquitos, Punchana, Belen and San Juan Bautista. It is the largest city in the world that cannot be reached by road – it is accessible only by river and air.

The area was long inhabited by indigenous peoples. The founding date of the European city is uncertain. Spanish historical documents state that it was set up around 1757 as a Spanish Jesuit reduction by the banks of the Nanay River. The Jesuits gathered local Napeano (Yameo) and Iquito natives to live here, and they named it San Pablo de Napeanos.

In the late 19th century, the city became the center of export of rubber production from the Amazon Basin and was the headquarters of the Peruvian Amazon Company. The rubber boom attracted thousands of European traders and workers, some of whom amassed wealth with the high-volume production, processing and trade in rubber. The city’s economy was highly dependent on PAC, controlled in the nation by Peruvian businessman Juan Luis Arana.

The operations of PAC’s forces in the Basin, who kept indigenous workers in near slavery conditions through use of force and harsh treatment, was investigated by Roger Casement, the British consul-general in Peru. He had investigated labor conditions for natives in the Congo Free State when it was under King Leopold’s control, reporting on the abuse of thousands of workers. His 1913 exposure of abuses of Peruvian workers caused a reaction against the company among the several British members of its board and many stockholders. The company struggled financially and lost backing in the UK. In addition, rubber seedlings had been smuggled out of the country and cultivated on plantations in Southeast Asia. As the plants matured, the competition undercut prices of the Peruvian product. With the decline of the rubber industry, many workers and merchants left Iquitos.

Iquitos.1

As one of the leading cities, along with Manaus, in the huge Amazon rubber boom (1880-1914), Iquitos was influenced by the numerous Europeans who flocked to it. Architecture and cultural institutions established during this period expressed their own traditions. An opera house and Jewish cemetery were among the institutions established.

Later in the 20th century, the city and region diversified its economy. The region exported timber, fish and their products, oil, minerals, and agricultural crops. It also derives considerable revenue from tourism and related crafts, as well as bakery, and carbonated drinks and beer. By 1999, the city had consolidated its four municipalities.

The architecture and historical treasures reflect the colonial and early 20th-century European period, attracting an increased tourist trade in the 21st century. In addition it is a center of ecological tourism. It has become a major cosmopolitan city with strong roots in the Amazon, featuring a complex history and cuisine, Amazonian landscapes, nightlife, and a growing cultural movement.

In 2012, 250,000 visitors were recorded. Many have been attracted since the Amazon rainforest was ranked as one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. Iquitos inaugurated international flights to the main hub of Panama City in 2012, with shared destinations with Miami and Cancun. Its international airport is expected to become one of six international air centers of Peru. The city was ranked as sixth on the list of “10 leading cities in 2011” of the Lonely Planet guidebook.

The Historic Center of Iquitos has several structures that have been designated as part of the Cultural Heritage of the Nation: the Cathedral of Iquitos, the Iron House, the Old Hotel Palace, Cohen House, and more than 70 other buildings. Other landmarks are the Plaza de Armas; Jiron Prospero, an avenue that is the site of several shopping and historical areas; and the lively neighborhood of Belén, often dubbed the “Amazon Venice” for its many waterways. The city is also home to the Amazon Library, one of the two most important in Latin America.

The city can be reached only by airplane or boat, with the exception of a road to Nauta, a small town roughly 100 km (62 mi) south (which is not connected to the country’s main road network). Ocean vessels of 3,000 to 9,000 tons and 5.5 metres (18 ft) draft can reach Iquitos via the Amazon River from the Atlantic Ocean, 3,600 kilometres (2,200 miles) away.

 

 

 

 

June 5 – Daily review of the Journey within Peru

Be Welcome to connect and align.

Personal notes:

After breakfast and a talk with Arthur about the energy point in the hallway we met Patricia, the touring guide. We started the morning by gathering at the Vortex Point in the Hallway whilst Arthur laid the Arthurian Tarot Cards. After this I sprayed some Worldwide Essence for the start of the journey at this point.

Patricia was so kind to tell me the history of this Hotel.

The Gran Hotel Bolívar, is a historic hotel located on Plaza San Martin. Designed by noted Peruvian architect Rafael Marquina, it was built in 1924 (note the year via numerology – 2+4=6) and was the first large, modern hotel built in Lima. It was build on an Ancient Sacred Site of the Inca’s. During the opening ceremony many tribes attended.

Part of a program to modernize Lima, the hotel was constructed on what was state property. The hotel was inaugurated on December 6, 1924, in honor of the centenary of the Battle of Ayacucho, a decisive military encounter during the Peruvian War of Independence.

In the 1940s and 1950s, the hotel attracted Hollywood movie stars such as Orson Welles, Ava Gardner and John Wayne, where many also discovered the local cocktail, the Pisco Sour.

Arthur and Pieter had left  to arrange some final details with the Travel Agency. The group went with Patricia for a walk through Lima Center. Patricia asked me personally to give her a sign of special energy areas during the walk. I had my crystal bag with me to leave crystals in various areas as a token of Gratitude.

We started the walk just across the Hotel. First we went to a statue of three Goddesses statue build in 1912 which was connected to the 3 numerology by the year that it was build.

The Plaza San Martín is one of the most representative  public spaces of the city of Lima, Peru. It is located at the ninth block of Colmena avenue, within the Historic Center of Lima which was declared a World Heritage Site in 1988 by UNESCO. It is located near the Plaza Mayor of Lima and is connected to it by the Jiron de la Union. Its central monument gives homage to Peru’s liberator,  Jose de San Martin. The square itself was inaugurated on July 27, 1921 (note the year via numerology – 2 + 1=3), in celebration of the 100th anniversary of Peru’s independence.

There are 8 entrances plus the center which correspond with the numerology of 9.

The plaza maintains uniformity with respect to its buildings’ facades. Its overall appearance is primarily baroque; the buildings, plaza, and central monument all cohere to uniform and specific styles. The architectural style to which most of the surrounding buildings belong to is that of the neohispanic or neocolonial styles within the realm of European derived architecture.

Here I noticed the prolonged Sacred Geometry together with the Chakana form in the plaza. Notice also the center which is the 13th, the journey to beyond.

After this we walked further in the center whilst Patricia explained various details along the way. There are many churches build on Ancient Inca Sites which drew me away from the group whilst giving a message to Patricia about this. One of them was a chapel devoted to Mother Mary and other Ladies. I placed a Mangano Crystal upon the altar of Lady Fortuna there.

I almost lost the group as they continued walking with Patricia. The next destination was San Pedro church were I went shortly inside.

We walked further to the next plaza which contained the City Hall, Jesus Christ Church and the Major’s office building. The plaza had a very feminine energy flow almost like you as being rocked in a cradle.

Known for its extensive history and past Andean cultures including the Chavin, the Incas and the Moche, Lima is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site and brimming with glorious landmarks and ancient monuments. The city’s famous Basilica Cathedral is one of the most important landmarks standing today and it dominates the Plaza Mayor in the heart of downtown Lima.lima_plaza_armas4

 

The final destination was San Francisco of Assisi church where a ceremony would be done by one of the members of the group in the Museum. At the side of the Church two Ancient Rocks were still there signifying that it was build upon an Ancient Inca Sacred Site. One by one we felt the energy of this. Than we walked further and I was drawn to enter the San Francisco church and place a crystal there. I told one of the group members that I was entering there before I entered. Unfortunately the group did not enter the church and went straight to the monastery or museum. When I came out of the church I could not find the group again so I felt guided to return to the Hotel to later join up with the group again.

For everyone this was a confusing moment. My apologies for this. Later on I saw Carmen and Patricia walking away from the Hotel and I joined them to walk to the restaurant were we all had lunch and celebrated Dietlinde’s birthday.

We all returned to the Gran Hotel Bolivar to continue our journey to Pisco by bus.

Pisco

Bus ride from Lima to Pisco.

Pisco is a Quecha word that means “bird.” The area is often visited because of the concentration of marine animals and birds at the Paracas National Reserve, or the Peruvian Galápagos. At the reserve, there are the Islas Ballestas, a collection of islands which are off limits to people, but boat tours can get close to. The Chincha Islands are also near its coast. Many bird species can be seen in the islands including pelicans, penguins, cormorant, Peruvian boobies and Inca terns, as well as sea lions, turtles, dolphins, and whales.

We will be staying overnight in Pisco.

Gratitude blessings to All.

 

June 4, 2017 – Daily Review of the Journey within Peru

Be Welcome to attune and align if called for.

Journey within the Sacred Grounds of Peru. Organised by Arthur van Steen and Pieter Tigelaar  plus 18 other people from The Netherlands.

Peru map

Sunday, June 4 flight Amsterdam – Lima plus Hotel – Whitsun

Personal Note: We started the journey at the meeting point at Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Most of the group members knew each other as they follow courses or went on group journeys with Arthur van Steen and Pieter Tigelaar. The check in tickets were handed out plus homeopathic remedy to assist during the first part of the journey.

For the personal soul within the group soul it was a open space to observe and feel the vibration of the group. The 12 hour flight with KLM was comfortable and all needs were met for everyone. I had booked  alley seat beforehand to be able to have some moving space during the flight.

Arriving at the Airport we were met by a local travel agency run by Carmen who had arranged all the transportation by bus, hotels and the touring guides. Our touring guide for Lima was Patricia for she had great knowledge of the history and sacred places. There was a small group (3 people) that had travelled via Madrid to Lima.

The first part of the journey was meant to be a physical journey along the south coast of Peru.

Upon entering the Gran Hotel Bolivar, Lima I was drawn to the center point there because of its vortex or energy swirl. It was part of the linkage to Sacred Geometry. I stayed on the spot for awhile to center, ground and anchor myself in Lima, Peru.

The Gran Hotel Bolívar, is a historic hotel located on Plaza San Martin. Designed by noted Peruvian architect Rafael Marquina, it was built in 1924 (note the year via numerology – 2+4=6) and was the first large, modern hotel built in Lima.

Part of a program to modernize Lima, the hotel was constructed on what was state property. Along with this it was build on a Sacred Site of the Inca’s or prehistoric Inca’s. The hotel was inaugurated on December 6, 1924, in honor of the centenary of the Battle of Ayacucho, a decisive military encounter during the Peruvian War of Independence. The square itself was inaugurated on July 27, 1921 (note the year via numerology – 2 + 1=3), in celebration of the 100th anniversary of Peru’s independence.

In the 1940s and 1950s, the hotel attracted Hollywood movie stars such as Orson Welles, Ava Gardner and John Wayne, where many also discovered the local cocktail, the Pisco Sour.

We were assigned room mates via Arthur and Pieter. It was wonderful to be able to stretch out and take a shower. Slept shortly but was refreshed in the morning upon awakening.

Tone 12 is to discover, share and give expression to insights in openness and love.

Discover, share and give expression to insights in Openness and Love in the resonance of the natural supportive spiral movement of the East with its Universal Hand that touches, receives and embraces the journey to give it a form and from there comes the understanding of healing, being healed within.

As we move onwards into the Wisdom of the North with the Ancient Elders allowing and surrendering to the germination of the Now and all its possibilities as a seed is planted into the fertile grounds of flowering the action, potential, growth empowerment and development of ripening.

From the West, the spiral moves so that we All can face the challenge, strengthening and opportunity of breathing within the communication, inspiration, flexibility and changes with Spirit.

To move into the spiral of the hidden power of the South within its purification of emotional waters as we let be what is and observe without judgement in Trust of these ripples, drops and wave movement.

Now in presence center, ground and anchor this wholeness of this spiral to allow choices to be made, to help or to release, to speak or to listen for All that vibrates on Earth. May Divine Wisdom BE.

Gratitude Blessings to All.
