Every year, as the old year turns to the new, a group of shamans in Peru gathers for a unique ritual. Dressed in traditional Andean ponchos and headdresses, they tap into ancient wisdom to foresee global events. While their predictions have often been a mixed bag, one recent forecast has truly grabbed headlines: the downfall of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.
Just weeks after their December 29th ceremony, where they called for Maduro’s removal by US forces, he was indeed captured and is now facing serious charges in New York. This stunning accuracy has suddenly put their other bold prophecies under a microscope.
What else did these mystical seers predict for the year ahead? Get ready for some major global news. The shamans foresee a serious illness for US President Donald Trump. They also predict an end to the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, with “the flag of peace” being raised. Closer to home, shaman Juan de Dios Garcia, using an ancestral plant called wachuma, even foretold that Keiko Fujimori would finally win Peru’s presidential election in 2026 after three previous attempts.
It’s worth noting that not all their predictions hit the mark. For instance, they incorrectly predicted an end to the Ukraine war in 2023 and warned of a “nuclear war” between Israel and Gaza last year, where a ceasefire is now in place. However, they did correctly predict the death of former Peruvian president Alberto Fujimori in 2024.
With one major prophecy already coming true, the world will be watching to see if these Peruvian shamans have truly tapped into the future. Will Trump face illness? Will peace come to Ukraine? Only time will tell if these ancient rituals hold modern truths.
