Healing. Hiking. Ceremony. Culture. Connection in PERU
Imagine waking up in the Andes surrounded by sacred mountains, beautiful gardens, ancient traditions, and the quiet rhythm of Peru’s Sacred Valley.
This 12-day journey is about more than seeing Peru.
It is about experiencing it deeply.
We will hike through breathtaking landscapes, visit sacred sites, spend time with local communities, learn from Andean healers, share traditional meals, experience ceremony, practice optional yoga and mindfulness, and create space to slow down and reconnect.
This is a journey rooted in culture, nature, community, and meaningful connection.
We will follow an itinerary choreographed to embrace ancient wisdom and a new way of being. We will explore the culture and spirituality of the sacred Apus/Andes mountains, and reclaim the path to becoming more whole as we travel to the most profound regions of Peru. We will enjoy some of the finest lodging and food from Cusco to Machu Picchu.
In the transformational Sacred Valley, we will work with local Paqos (shamans) to release extraneous energies from our bodies and spirits, reclaiming our light and honoring our energetic interconnectedness. This trip is designed for those who wish to be immersed in local communities and contribute globally within a paradigm of love, integrity, and balance.
MORE THAN A VACATION
This experience is designed for travelers who want to go beyond traditional tourism.
You will have opportunities to:
Explore Machu Picchu and sacred Incan sites
Hike through mountain communities
Learn about Andean traditions and cosmology
Spend time with local artisans and weaving communities
Participate in traditional ceremonies
Enjoy nourishing Peruvian food
Rest, reflect, receive healing treatments, and simply be
No experience with yoga, ceremony, or spiritual practices is needed.
Just come with curiosity, openness, and a willingness to experience Peru in a meaningful way.
Not only will you explore the culture and spirituality of the sacred Apus/Andes mountains, but you’ll reclaim parts of yourself on the path to becoming more whole, as you travel physically from untracked Lake Titicaca to the most profound region of Peru. There is only one Sacred Valley; in this transformational place, you’ll work with local shamans to release extraneous energies from your body and spirit, returning with a new relationship to yourself, your life and the world around you.
This trip is designed for those who wish to serve their local communities and the global community within a paradigm of love, integrity, and balance; who seek improved health and well-being; and who crave transformation of body, mind, spirit, heart, and soul. This journey is for those who want a cultural and spiritual experience and to connect with like-minded souls. Who enjoy meditation and ceremonies as well as being open to a new culture. This is not a typical tourist trip.
STAY IN THE HEART OF THE SACRED VALLEY
Willka T’ika Wellness Retreat
Much of our journey will be based at the beautiful Willka T’ika Wellness Retreat, surrounded by the mountains of Peru’s Sacred Valley and its renowned Seven Chakra Gardens.
Our days will be filled with exploration, culture, hiking, sacred sites, and meaningful connection. In the evenings, there will be time to slow down and integrate the day through quiet reflection, walks in the gardens, optional healing treatments, massage, baths, ceremony, or simply resting beneath the Andes.
It is a beautiful place to return to each evening, settle into the rhythm of the Sacred Valley, and reconnect with yourself and the experience unfolding around you.
This journey will allow you to:
Work closely with Paqos, Andean healers, and Marleni Vilca Paul, learning from traditions rooted in gratitude, reciprocity, and connection to Pachamama.
Experience traditional Despacho ceremonies, sacred offerings, coca leaf readings, and other Andean healing practices.
Explore the breathtaking landscapes of the Sacred Valley and learn about the sacred Apus, Andean cosmology, and ancestral traditions.

A JOURNEY FOR BODY, HEART & SOUL
Some days will be active.
Some days will be slower.
There will be opportunities to hike, explore, learn, stretch, rest, receive healing work, sit in the gardens, journal, share meals, and simply enjoy being in one of the most extraordinary places in the world.
You do not need to come looking for a particular kind of transformation.
Just come open to the experience.
COME FOR PERU.
Leave with something deeper.
Come for Machu Picchu.
Come for the hiking.
Come for the culture.
Come for the ceremonies.
Come for the mountains.
Come for the rest.
Come for the people.
And somewhere in the Sacred Valley, you may find yourself reconnecting with something you had forgotten you needed.
