Andean Wellness Journey

The Wellness & Yoga Experience is an eight-day journey through Cusco, the Sacred Valley, Lares and Machu Picchu that combines guided yoga sessions, meditation, wellness workshops, cultural encounters and scenic hikes.

Rather than a traditional yoga retreat, it is a complete Andean journey designed to reconnect body, mind and spirit while exploring some of Peru’s most meaningful landscapes and archaeological sites.

No. The yoga and wellness sessions are designed for all levels, including beginners.

Practices include restorative yoga, energizing flows, guided meditation and intention-setting sessions. Guests are encouraged to participate at their own pace and communicate any physical limitations or injuries to the instructor before each practice.

The experience is moderately active and combines yoga with guided walks and hikes.

Activities include a hike to the Temple of the Moon, walking through archaeological sites, a hike from Viacha to Pisaq, an optional waterfall walk and a scenic hike from Pumamarka toward Ollantaytambo.

Guests should be comfortable walking on uneven terrain, but previous trekking experience is not required.

The itinerary includes daily yoga or meditation sessions, an Andean superfood workshop, a visit to San Pedro Market, a farm-to-table cooking class and traditional ceremonies honoring Pachamama.

Guests also connect with local communities and explore important archaeological sites in Cusco, the Sacred Valley, Lares, Ollantaytambo and Machu Picchu.

We recommend arriving in Cusco at least two days before the journey to begin acclimatizing.

The itinerary includes stays in Cusco at 3,399 m or 11,152 ft and Huacahuasi Lodge at 3,835 m or 12,585 ft. During your first days, drink plenty of water, eat light meals, avoid excessive alcohol and limit strenuous activity.

Your guide and wellness team will monitor your wellbeing throughout the experience.

Accommodations, ground transportation and the meals specified in the itinerary are included throughout the journey.

The program includes stays at an MLP hotel in Cusco, Lamay Lodge, Huacahuasi Lodge, Willka T’ika and a partner hotel in Aguas Calientes.

Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and most dietary requirements can be accommodated with advance notice. Guests should inform their Travel Specialist of any allergies or dietary restrictions before arrival.
