We are the members of this family walking the path of medicine—healing, learning, and restoring together—a journey that began around the year 2005, a time when we faced situations in which the soul itself called for a definitive change. We give thanks to the Father-Mother who is in the heavens and the Father-Mother who is on Earth for allowing us this blessing.
We are five members in this family: David, Marcela, Gonzalo, Rodrigo, and Vanessa. Together, we form the Casa Inkani Coca family, a center for healing, therapies, and ancestral medicines. We work with the Sacred Plant of San Pedro, Peyote, Rapé (powdered tobacco), Coca Leaves, Cacao, Temazcal, the crafting of shamanic drums, and spiritual consultations. We are located in the Sacred Valley of the Incas, Urubamba.
David Aedo
FACILITADOR
David Hedy Aedo Baca was born in Pitumarca, Cusco, on November 11, 1966. A Quechua speaker, he moved to Cusco at age four, where he faced discrimination for his native language and was forced to learn Spanish. This experience sparked his deep interest in reconnecting with his ancestors and the Andean cosmovision.
He became an official tour guide, exploring Cusco’s 13 provinces and recognizing his role as a chakaruna (a bridge between worlds). As a guardian of Mother Earth and a mystical guide, he traveled to sacred temples, embracing Andean wisdom.
Today, he works with Wachuma (San Pedro Cactus), offering offerings to Pachamama, energetic cleansings, and spiritual guidance, both with and without plant medicine. With love and respect, he walks the path of healing, sharing his wisdom with others on their journey.
Gonzalo Aedo
FACILITADOR
Gonzalo Aedo Pantigozo was born in Cusco, the capital of the Incas. A Licensed Tourism Professional, Andean walker, and medicine man, he is inspired by the balance of energies and the wisdom of his ancestors. He is grateful for his deep connection with the medicines of Mother Earth—sacred plants, the power of tobacco, Wachuma, Rapé, cacao, mushrooms, and the wisdom of our elders—all guided by the Great Spirit, which we are all a part of.
His work focuses on connecting with the inner teacher through medicine, men's circles, and mixed circles, offering insights into personal questions. He also leads meditations that connect the mind, heart, and spirit. A traveler of the stars, he reactivates the memory of the ancestors in sacred temples through reconnection journeys, simply remembering who we are—forever a student of life.

He learns from different Masters and began this journey in 2017 as a process of self-discovery.
