Yoga
Yoga
Willka T’ika welcomes all levels and expressions of yoga practice. Experienced teachers offer both classic and contemporary forms, providing a restorative complement to hiking and exploration. Classes are held in spacious shalas with large windows overlooking the Seven Chakra Gardens, or within the gardens themselves, where practice unfolds in connection with the surrounding landscape.
Floral Bath
Floral Solar Bath
Soak under the stars in our Andean Flower Baths. Aromatic blends created from blossoms in the Willka T’ika gardens infuse the water, the air, and your spirit. The unique solar baths, created from stone and set in secluded garden spots, are heated by the sun during the day. At night, the water is infused with fragrant flowers, healing herbs, and mineral-rich Maras salt. Unwind under the Milky Way and experience bliss.
Farm-to-Table Cuisine
Farm-to-Table Cuisine
At Willka T’ika, food is a foundational part of your healing experience—one that is deeply grounded in the regenerative energy of Pachamama. Our chefs create organic, vegetarian meals using ingredients harvested each morning from our gardens, where nutrient-rich Andean superfoods, medicinal herbs, and local vegetables thrive in the mineral-rich soil. Every dish is designed to support metabolic balance, reduce inflammation, and inspire your senses.
*We welcome vegan, gluten-free, and special dietary requests.
Seven Chakra Gardens
Seven Chakra Gardens
The world-renowned Seven Chakra Gardens winds through the grounds of Willka T’ika. The gardens contain symbols, shapes, sculptures, and medicinal plants which resonate with one of the seven major energy centers of the body. Each garden offers a uniquely charged sacred space for group or personal work. Voted as one of the top experiences during a stay at Willka T’ika, guests enjoy the gardens’ rejuvenating energies and exploring the healing connection with Pachamama, Mother Nature.
One of the garden’s most ancient residents is the 1,000+ year-old Lucuma tree which transmits its tremendous healing earth energy from a pre-Inkan era. The tree grounds and inspire guests in need of integrating their body, mind, and spirit. Some believe Willka T’ika’s Lucuma tree is one of approximately 365 shrines located along the Inkan Empire seques or arrow straight lines. These forty or so lines emanate from Cusco’s Korikancha Temple and run for hundreds of miles toward celestial points on the horizon.
Guests can align with the powerful Sacred Valley energies in the Spiral Garden of the third eye Chakra Garden. Walking the Spiral invites the release of unwanted energies and a shift toward expanding consciousness. Opening the third eye chakra to intuition and higher reflection can open the personal path to greater awareness and wellness.
In the crown chakra garden, the thousand-year-old Lucuma Tree connects guests to the energy and wisdom of the ancient Incan civilization. The grassy area beneath the Lucuma Tree is a perfect place for meditation. Winding paths lead from one garden to the other, reminding us to slow down and enjoy the journey.
The gardens heal and balance by encouraging a direct connection to the wisdom of Nature. Walk, meditate, write, paint, or simply relax in the chakra garden of your choice.
Willka T’ika’s Seven Chakra Gardens were a labor of love, which you can read more about in our founder Carol Cumes’ book Chakra Gardens: Opening the Senses of the Soul.
Sacred Valley Hike
Sacred Valley Hike
The Sacred Valley landscape has been shaped by the hands of Pachamama and its ancient cultures. Exploring the valley offers an invitation for deep nature connection, introspection, and a sense of awe. Wander the highland trails of Maras, passing shimmering salt terraces and traditional farmlands; or follow quiet paths to the Chulpas, ancient stone towers set along the hillsides, offering expansive views across the valley.
Along the way, pause to enjoy a thoughtfully prepared picnic featuring local ingredients. Ranging from gentle walks to more invigorating routes, these hikes offer mountain vistas, cultural insight, and the opportunity to be fully present within the landscape.
Crystal Light Therapy
Crystal Light Therapy
This unique and subtle therapy uses calibrated light frequencies, crystals, and sound to support energetic balance and nervous system regulation. The treatment encourages alignment across the body’s energy centers, leaving a sense of ease and clarity. Many guests describe a feeling of spaciousness and renewed balance following the session.
*Please note: Select healing ceremonies, including Cacao, Sound Healing, and Sweat Lodge, are available for groups of four or more and may be arranged in advance based on availability. Guests seeking a more comprehensive ceremonial experience may wish to consider the Essential Wellness Retreat
