Accommodations

It’s been 3 days since I’ve been back home from Peru and have had time to reflect on our group retreat. I can tell you I miss the gorgeous views, the aroma of flowers, your staff, the food, the tea bar, the beautiful rooms, and the hot water bottle in my bed, and that’s just to name a few. Willka T’ika not only exceeded my expectations, but all 11 ladies in my group were extremely pleased with their stay. The staff was exceptional! Roxanna was so helpful, kind, sweet, and always willing to lend a helping hand. Livio was such …

As a yoga retreat leader, I have been facilitating international yoga retreats for nearly 15 years, with groups ranging from 20 to 100+ students. On my recent journey to Peru, I brought two back-to-back groups to Willka Tika, with each group having around 50 students. In all of my years of leading retreats, I have never had an experience of holding a retreat at a facility as beautiful, well-run, supportive, and value-aligned as Willka Tika. For a retreat to be successful there must be certain components in place: a great practice space, beautiful/comfortable accommodations, wonderful food, and a supportive staff. …

Wilka T’ika is a stunning property with beautiful Gardens. Staying at Willka Tika was a dream and far exceeded my expectations. The staff was attending to anything needed. I especially loved the food and my body felt so nourished. My daughter and I also loved the nightly water bottles to keep us warm and cozy in our beds. Looking forward to leading our return group here in May-June 2025! ~ Karen Conley, Yoga Retreat Leader, Oct 2024

My first encounter with Willka T’ika was as a participant in a retreat, and it was an experience that left me completely transformed. The environment, the people, and the vibrant culture of Peru captivated me so deeply that I knew I had to return—not just as a guest, but as a leader and facilitator! When I led my own retreat at Willka T’ika, my already high expectations were far exceeded. The staff was exceptionally attentive, and the accommodations were luxurious, yet in harmony with the natural beauty of the surroundings. The meticulously crafted itinerary offered a perfect balance of activities, …

After 15 years of hosting retreats all over the world, I can honestly say that Willka Tika is a gem! From start to finish the team did everything they could to make the experience seamless. I mean everything, booking, payments, menu, off sight excursions to Machu Picchu, and so much more… The property is perfect for retreat groups large and small. The 7 Chakra Gardens are magnificent and every details is done with love. The yoga spaces are fully equipped and the staff is fantastic. They have beautiful rooms, great food, authentic Peruvian experiences and wonderful spa services too. Terry …

I led my second Spiritual Retreat at this beautiful Sanctuary. At Willka T’ika everything is perfectly organized to help you connect with nature and with yourself, to heal and awaken. The 7 Chakra Gardens, spacious and cozy bedrooms, the exquisite food, the helpful and loving staff, the tour guides, etc. Everything together makes this center the perfect place for an unforgettable inner and outer journey. I will definitely continue leading more retreats here! Thank you Carol, Terry, Tristan, Verena, Roxana, Mario … Rooms: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Location: 5/5 ~ Erika Guerra-Todd, Retreat Leader, May 2024

Without a doubt, Willka T’ika is one of the most nourishing, healing and soul rejuvenating sanctuaries on the planet! As the leader of my first international retreat with over 20 participants, I was blown away by the exquisite gardens, the delectable vegetarian cuisine, the gorgeous accommodations and the joyful and loving Quechuan staff. Carol, Terry and Tristin have created an enchanting space and went above and beyond tending to every detail to be certain our home-base was perfect for our retreat. The Andean spa services, authentic rituals and guided adventures were extraordinary. Willka T’ika provided an unforgettable experience and I …

It has been a week since I left Willka T’ika. It will likely be a lifetime before Willka T’ika leaves me. I came to this beautiful place as co-leader of The Wilderness Walk, an experience to help people explore their inner shadows. The participants were able to dig deep into the mysteries that their old fears and hurts had blinded them to, in part, because Willka T’ika served as a chalice, a vessel to hold them and hold their work with strength and tenderness. It takes a commitment to be willing to transform and it takes a safe container to …

One if the most magical places I ever been and ever facilitated a retreat. I highly recommend it!! It feels like you are completely enveloped by powerful sacred space. ~ Leader Suzanne Hanna, The Wilderness Walk, Nov 2023

This is the most wonderful place I’ve ever stayed. The owners and staff are the kindest people. They have become like family to me. The food is healthy and delicious. We were very well fed. As a leader, I brought a group. Willka T’ika arranged all the details for me. They made it easy for me. My group said they felt safe and well taken care of. Thank you to everyone who took care of us! ~ Danielle Isaac, Group Leader, July 2023

Wilka T’ika is a beautiful sanctuary nestled in the Sacred Valley. Its many gardens and varieties of gorgeous flowers & plants that are lovingly cared for & tended to support an abundance of bees, butterflies & hummingbirds that accompany you as you meander along the paths. It is a place to come to rest, to release, to heal, to receive & rejuvenate. Reconnecting to yourself, and to Pachamama unfolds naturally in the Chakra Gardens as there is always a number of quiet spaces in the gardens to contemplate, read, journal, meditate, mindfully walk the spiral, or simply listen to the …

Wilka Tika is the literal garden of Eden. Walking through the grounds is like being in Paradise. There are hundreds of types of flowers, plants and blooming trees with fruits. You can’t help but feel grounded and at peace. The staff is friendly and amazing. They take care of all your needs. This is my second time at Wilka Tika abs I feel like I am coming home. The staff make me feel like family. I love the yoga room and the food is over the top. As a retreat leader, I feel good bringing a group here knowing that …

For the past 4 years we’ve led life-changing yoga retreats to Willka T’ika in the Sacred Valley of Peru. Willka T’ika is the quintessential set and setting to experience authentic Andean culture while diving deeper into yoga practice. It is a Yogi’s dream, with Chakra Meditation Gardens, inspiring practice spaces and world class healthy and conscious dining. It is the perfect take off point for excursions and exploration into the surrounding sacred Inkan sites. Best of all, however, is the loving and kind staff of Willka T’ika who make you feel at home.

After visiting and scouting many retreats around the world over the past 23yrs of teaching, Willka T’ika is now among the top of our list. The attention to detail, incredible staff and amazing food is just the beginning. The facilities are spectacular, a well planned yoga space and their ability to seamlessly support our large group is beyond words. I highly recommend it.

“This was our first Mystery School retreat under the McKenna Academy, and as ever, I am happy to be working with Willka T’ika on such transformative programs. There is no better place in the Sacred Valley, perhaps in the world, for such events to take place. The magic of Willka T’ika’s Chakra Gardens combined with the spiritual power of sound meditation makes for an experience unlike any other.”

Willka T’ika is a paradise that allows you to slip into the Peruvian culture with a deep ahhh! The gardens, the staff and the owner Carol Cumes are exquisite like the unexplainable walls of Machu Picchu. It feels so right to stay in a guesthouse retreat that supports the local community, that promotes organic sustainable farming and that nourishes its guests with the wisdom of Peru. Thank you.

Willka T’ika is a true gift. After 22 years of teaching yoga and guiding adventure travel in Peru, we are so happy to have found this special place to stay. Fresh organic food made and served by loving Quechua staff, inspirational gardens, the great yoga room, clean and charming sleeping rooms makes this a place where we can feel at home while feeling a connection with a culture that we love. The Sacred Valley is right out the door. The Spirit of the Andes is alive here!
