"The Visitor’s Bureau defines vortexes as areas where the Earth’s energy is thought to be highly concentrated, creating a unique environment that promotes healing, introspection, and personal transformation and move in a spiral-like up and down movement. Vortexes are supposedly located all over the world such as the Great Pyramid in Egypt, Machu Picchu in Peru, and Uluru in Australia to name a few. Visitors often describe feeling more grounded, spiritually aligned, or mentally clear after spending time at these sites."

On this tour you will visit one of the 4 area vortexes, hike to them, explore the area, and participate in a meditation.
