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.
