About this trip
We invite you to travel with us to the Incan Sacred Valley on this 9 day bucket-list excursion not to be missed!
Our journey is highlighted by a private tour of the archeological wonder Machu Picchu, water sports and cultural immersion on Lake Piuray, guided tours and hikes to stunning scenery and Incan ruins, shopping in open-air Quechuan markets, and traditional shamanic ceremonies.
Together, we will nurture our bodies and minds with yoga and meditation and connect to the powerful healing energy of Mother Nature in this deeply spiritual place.

Meet Jyoti
Long-time yoga instructor and founder of RasVida Yoga Excursions, Jyoti radiates joy and deep inner wisdom on and off the mat. Her adventurous spirit, love for intercultural experiences and a compassionate heart infuse her excursions and impact all who attend.
Born and raised in a yoga ashram, numerous sacred yoga traditions are at the core of who she is and how she lives her life. Jyoti is dedicated to sharing authentically and continuing her lifelong journey of personal growth. Her biggest reward as a teacher is watching her students cultivate their own inner growth and transformation.
Jyoti ‘s classes invite a more subtle experience with a conscious focus on strength, healthy alignment, and body mechanics. As a recent breast cancer survivor, and mother of two rapidly growing children, she has a renewed sense of life, outdoor adventure, and the importance of self-care.
Our Destination
Tucked into the Peruvian Andes, the Sacred Valley of the Incas is a stretch of magical little villages, ancient ruins and terraced farmland along the Urubamba River. Once the fertile and spiritual base of the Incan Empire, the region is dripping with ruins, natural wonders and living breathing indigenous cultures. Today, this blend of the ancient and the modern is as striking as the valley’s natural beauty.
We will be staying in the heart of the Sacred Valley in the quaint town of Calca. Conveniently located near Cusco and many of the sites we will be visiting, our home for a week includes a beautiful yoga studio, pool, and plenty of outdoor space to take in the scenery. Enjoy being surrounded by mountains and be amazed by the majestic Pitusiray standing over 16,000 feet altitude.
Accommodations
Our private home in Calca is conveniently located in the Sacred Valley near Cusco and many of the sites we will be visiting. The property sits uphill from town and boasts gorgeous views of the valley and surrounding mountains! Our main house has 4 bedrooms, bathrooms, a living area, a kitchen, and a dining room, and two additional bungalows each have 2 bedrooms, baths and their own living rooms.
The healing energy of Mother Nature is palpable here in the Sacred Valley and we can even enjoy it while resting between excursions in our very own retreat home. Connect with new friends or curl up with a good book in one of the scenic outside living areas and enjoy panoramic views from our own private yoga studio overlooking the outdoor pool.
