Located in the heart of Peru's Sacred Valley is Willka T'ika, the original yoga center of the region. Our new Essential Wellness Programs combine 30 years of our experience with authentic Andean healing offerings into accessible 3, 5, and 7 Day wellness retreats.The program was designed for today’s traveler who seeks to reconnect with the healing energies of Mother Earth (Pachamama). The format of the program follows the model of Willka T’ika’s Seven Chakra Gardens, with each day focusing on a chakra, or energy center.
We will guide you through a specialized sequence of mindful activities, therapeutic treatments, farm-to-table organic vegetarian meals, fresh coldpressed juices, home-made essential oils, and powerful Andean ceremonies. Additional local activites abound if desired and daily yoga classes are included. Join us for an exceptional personal retreat and experience rejuvenation in the Andes!
