9-night / 10-day immersive journey through Peru’s Sacred Valley and Trek to Machu Picchu a thoughtfully curated blend of restoration, exploration, and transformation.
We’ll spend 6 nights nestled in the serenity of Samadhi Sacred Valley Retreat Center, where each day begins with intentional movement and unfolds through yoga, meditation, and wellness experiences guided by Chuck and Kami. You’ll be nourished with fresh, locally inspired meals, and held in a space designed for deep connection—to yourself, the land, and the community around you.
Our days will include unforgettable excursions to the Maras salt mines, Moray’s ancient terraces, the Perolniyoc Waterfall hike, and the vibrant Pisac Market, alongside soul-nourishing experiences like sound healing, a creative painting class, and a traditional temazcal ceremony.
As the journey unfolds, we transition into adventure, traveling toward the iconic Machu Picchu. After a free evening to rest or explore, we’ll embark on a guided 2-day sacred trek through the Andes, following ancient paths surrounded by breathtaking mountain landscapes, rich history, and powerful energy. This portion of the journey invites you to step fully into presence where each step becomes a meditation and the reward is not only the destination, but the transformation along the way.
Please note: as we move into the Machu Picchu excursion, retreat meals and hosted wellness offerings will have concluded, allowing space for personal exploration and integration during this portion of the journey.
We’ll close our time together with a final night in Cusco, grounding the experience before returning home expanded, inspired, and forever changed.
