Hatun Qeros cultural center

In August of 2022 the Wircocha Foundation opened a permanent home for the descendants of the Inka in the heart of their Ancestral Inka Capital of Cosqo (Cuzco City, Peru); the first ever Hatun Q'eros Cultural Healing Center!

The Q'ero Cultural Center is housed at the Casona Corrales, a beautiful hotel owned by Aldo & Roger Corrales, sons of Paucartambo and friends of Wiraqocha Foundation & the Q'ero. Located just one half block off Cusi Pata Square (Plaza Regocijo) in the Heart of Cusco City, the Q'ero offer healing sessions and have a store where you can see demonstrations and purchase their ancestral weaving arts.

Begun in 1949 when the Q'ero were first recognized as descendants of the Inka, to the first academic expedition in 1955, to the granting of their homeland land-rights back to the Q'ero in the 1960's, to the 1980's designation of Cusco as a World Heritage site, to the 1990's when the very first workshops on the Inka Mystical Tradition were taught, to 2011 when the Q'ero Nation was recognized as "the last Inka Village on earth," a Cultural Patrimony of Peru, the Wiracocha Foundation and Friends have been fighting for decades for the rights of the Q'ero and this moment!

After more than half a century of being overlooked, the Q'ero now stand tall in their own healing and weaving house in the heart of Cusco. Please support this nonprofit, charitable organization who are dedicated to preserving and sharing the Sacred Nature Wisdom of the Q’ero people of the Andes by visiting them in person or connecting with them online.
