Vacation Retreat: PERU Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu

 
Description: A Journey of Self-Discovery

Open House with Natalie 6:30-7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 9 and Thursday, Dec. 17

Experience the spiritual, traditional, cultural, and mystical wonders of Peru

Step out of yourself and enter the mystical world of Peru, the cradle of a unique culture and its spiritual traditions. Willka T’ika Guesthouse is a modern yoga retreat center set in breathtaking gardens in the Sacred Valley of the Inka. Each day begins with a multi-level yoga class set in a sun-filled yoga studio made of natural materials and surrounded by Andean medicinal plants, brilliant flowers, and organically grown vegetables, all featured in gourmet, strictly vegetarian meals. Menus also include delicious and nutritious protein-filled Andean cereals and legumes.

Treat yourself to a spiritual and cultural adventure for mind, body, and soul. Each day you will visit a different ancient Inkan site in the Sacred Valley. Time is set aside for hiking and your personal exploration and meditation inside each sacred site.

At all times, you will travel with a guide passionate about her work, who will spark your excitement as you come into contact with the traditions and spirituality of each ancient site.

This retreat includes an authentic ritual led by a practicing healer who is a seer in the Andean tradition and a modern day representative of an age-old line of spiritual authority, and a sound healing ceremony at Machu Picchu.

The package includes six nights at Willka T’ika, two days in fascinating Cusco City, two days at Machu Picchu, guides, authentic Andean ceremonies, transport, hotel accommodation, entrance tickets, and tourist train to Machu Picchu. All meals at Willka T’ika, a welcome lunch in Cusco, and special dinner at Machu Picchu are also included.
