This has been one of the best experiences of my life. Om Namah Sivayah. This is my first visit and I feel the beginning of a special and new relationship. The physical environment of Willka T’ika  is so beautiful and amazing and a great setting for our practice. I loved the combination of gardens, sacred hikes through ancient terrains and the wisdom of Inkan spirituality. This all has made a huge impact on me and I look forward to many more visits and pilgrimages.
