Inti Wasi is the story of an indigenous Ecuadorian Saraguro family. They are on a journey of rediscovery of traditional Andean culture, after five hundred years of oppression following the Spanish conquest. Challenging the values of their Catholic upbringing and entering into the world of ancestral medicine, Inti and his family seek healing for body and mind and the strength to face their difficult history. In the vast Andean mountain landscape, they work to develop their tourist center while reawakening ancient Andean values that teach one how to live on the earth with respect, reverence and joy. Inti Wasi is about a close-knit family with the courage to reclaim the culture that was taken from their people by the Spanish Conquistadors. “Five hundred years of resistance later,” Inti tells us, “we are still here, still alive.”
