The Experience

Luxury accommodations at one of the “World’s 9 Best Wellness Retreat Centers” (CNN Travel) “One of the most incredible spots in the World”(Vogue Magazine) “#1 on the Must List” (Yoga Journal Magazine)

Located at the foot of glacier-topped Andean peaks in the heart of the Sacred Valley, our accommodations offers an experience of simple luxury and wellness in one of the earth’s most energetically charged, culturally rich settings. In the town of Urubamba we will set our 'home base'.


7 transformative days to learn and experience the joy of connection, new cultures, honoring the body with movement, and time to rest, reflect, and explore ourselves through Yoga.  


Wake up every morning with an invigorating Yoga class, Journaling, Meditation and Pranayama, to get the body moving and blood pumping. Starting the day on a awakened state.


Nightly candlelight Yin Yoga and Yoga Nidra practice to integrate, rest and reset.

Each garden contains symbols, shapes, sculptures, and medicinal plants that resonate with one of the classic seven chakras, or energy centers, of the human body. The vibrant flowers blooming in each garden are of the particular color associated with that chakra, flooding your eyes with the hue. Both the wavelengths of light and the vibrations of the flowers themselves offer peaceful healing energy to the mind, body, and soul.

I recently had the pleasure of attending a yoga retreat in Peru with Maki, and it was an unforgettable experience. The retreat offered a perfect blend of relaxation, mindfulness, and adventure, set against the stunning backdrop of the Peruvian landscape. The retreat was held in a serene location surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty. The staff was incredibly hospitable, ensuring we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. In addition to yoga, the retreat included various activities that allowed us to explore and appreciate the local culture and natural environment. We had guided hikes through the beautiful Andean mountains, visits to local markets, and tours of ancient Incan ruins. These excursions were well-organized and provided a deeper connection to the rich history and culture of Peru. I met wonderful people from all over the world, and sharing this journey with such a supportive and positive group of individuals was incredibly uplifting. Overall, my yoga retreat in Peru was a transformative experience. It offered a perfect balance of physical activity, cultural immersion, and personal reflection. I returned home feeling rejuvenated, inspired, and deeply connected to the beauty of Peru and the wonderful people I met along the way. I highly recommend this retreat to anyone looking for a meaningful and restorative getaway.

Traveling to Peru with Maki was outstanding!! One of my best friends and I went on this retreat together. Maki assisted us every step of the way, she was responsive and answered all of our questions. The resort at Willka T’ika was better than anything I could have imagined. The staff treated us like family and they were so accommodating. During the retreat, I enjoyed morning and evening yoga, meditation, breath work, a cold plunge and the wonderful gift of experiencing traditional Quechuan ceremonies. We explored near by ruins, ate great food, walked the town and shopped from local artisan shops. My favorite part was visiting Aguas Calientes and experiencing the greatness of Machu Picchu. I trust Maki and would travel with her again anytime, I’m so grateful for the experience and built memories that will last a lifetime!
