Hello everyone, Ruben Apaza Quispe greets you from the highest and most important mountain of the Q’eros Community, the Apu Huamanlipa. I am the grandson of the renown Q’ero teacher and spiritual healer, Don Manuel Quispe. I was born and spent my childhood in the Q’eros community. As heir to Inca wisdom, I come from a culture rich in customs and traditions that passed down from generation to generation celebrate Pachamama (Mother Earth) and the Apus (Sacred Mountains). I graduated from San Antonio Abad National University of Cusco with a degree in Hospitality and Tourism.
I lead Espirtuandino.org as a spiritual teacher and wisdom keeper – sharing the Q’eros 500-year-old ancestral knowledge and traditions transmitted to me through Inca spiritual technologies embedded within ancestral weavings and rituals.
