What is coca leaf reading?
In the Andes, the coca leaf is a sacred plant, used for centuries in offerings, rituals and daily life. Reading the coca leaves is one of the oldest ways of seeking guidance in this tradition.
During the reading, you hold a question in mind while a handful of coca leaves is blessed and dropped onto a cloth. The way the leaves fall — face up or down, together or apart — is then interpreted and shared with you.
It is a space for reflection and conversation rather than a fixed prediction. Many travelers find it one of the most memorable cultural experiences of their time in Cusco.
