information
Dating back to ancient times, Peru has possessed a special energetic power. On this retreat, we will discover Pachamama’s magic and the origins of Andean superfoods, healing botanicals, and profound mystical insights.
We will visit farms, taste wonderful flavors and study the many nutritional benefits of superfoods.
This retreat is built for guests with an interest in exploring one of the most marvelous places on earth and diving into food and nutrition in an authentic and unique way. Attendees must be fit for moderately difficult activity including day hikes, yoga and elevation change.
To better understand superfoods, we will tap into the powerful energy, history and culture of Peru. Throughout our journey, we will hike through ancient archaeological sites (including Machu Picchu), explore artisanal craft, learn about Andean folklore, and enjoy market and tasting tours.
In order to experience all that the Sacred Valley has to offer, we will be moving locations every few nights during our journey. We’ll spend 2 nights in Cusco in the historic center, 2 nights in Urubamba at an eco-lodge, 1 night accommodations in the town of Aquas Calientes (so we can explore Machu Picchu) and 3 nights accommodations in healing retreat center of Wilka Tikka in Urubamba.
While on our journey our Peruvian Chefs will provide us with the majority of our delicious meals. There will be several options such as vegetarian, gluten free, etc and we can accommodate most dietary concerns.

venue
Background
We highly recommend packing light. We will always have a landing place so you will not have to carry more than your day-pack while we are hiking. However, having just one small to medium sized roller bag or duffel is highly recommended for the most ease and grace throughout the journey.
Our accommodations are all shared doubles and triples. It may be possible that we will have a couple of single rooms to offer but we can not guarantee this. We are staying at quaint, non-touristy places during the first week of our journey. Please email help@yogascapes.com for more information and availability and to request the upgrade fee amount for these nights.
We will stay at a variety of accommodations to give you a well rounded taste of what Peru has to offer, from a quant eco-lodge to a beautiful retreat center and tasteful centrally located hotels in the middle. If you are coming on your own, we will pair you with an amazing roommate.
The retreat starts at 12pm on the morning of the 16th, but it is flexible since everyone is arriving that day. Flights out on the 24th should be after 12pm to allow plenty of transfer time. Please Fly into Cusco and meet at the hotel. We can help arrange an airport pick-up for you through the hotel. On the way back, we will take people directly to the Cusco airport and drop off anyone who is staying longer in central location or at destination if it’s on the way.
