Ayni with Local Community

Magical Journey group guests experience meaningful interaction and genuine exchange or ayni with local Quechua communities, supported by our non-profit Willka T’ika Children’s Fund. Groups visit local schools for an unforgettable heart-opening visit in high mountain regions.

Seven Chakra Gardens

Each garden contains flowers, symbols, shapes, sculptures, and medicinal plants that resonate with one of yoga’s classic seven chakras, or energy centers, of the human body, offering healing support and peaceful energy. Meditate, do yoga, write, read, paint, mindfully walk or simply relax in the abundant beauty, and directly connect with Nature and Pachamama—Mother Earth. The Crown Chakra garden includes an ancient pre-Incan Lucuma tree, that is still fruit-bearing.

Yoga, Dance, and More

Two beautiful sunlit yoga studios with hardwood floors, perfect for group retreats, are fully equipped with mats, blankets, blocks, and accessories. These studios are designed for yoga but are also ideal for dance and other movement arts as well as conferences. The spacious Kuntur Yuntu generously accommodates fifty-five yoga mats and is 50 feet x 35 ft, or 1750 square feet. The smaller Yogawasi fits twenty-five yoga mats. Both are heated and have sound systems.
