“We had a wonderful experience at Willka T’ika, exploring the gardens full of flowers, sharing herbal teas by the fireplace in the lounge and in our spacious room full of light with views of the mountains. Peaceful, welcoming and you do not even have to do yoga!”

Activities

Ayni with Local Community

For those who join our signature Magical Journey programs, we organize visits focusing on meaningful interaction and exchange or “ayni” with local Quechua communities, supported by our non-profit Willka T’ika Children’s Fund. With advance notice, we arrange visits to local schools for an unforgettable heart-opening visit in high mountain regions.

Andean Rituals

Willka T’ika’s guests enjoy participating in traditional sacred rituals offered by local healers to honor Pachamama, Mother Earth and the Apus, Mountain Spirits. Healing treatments can be requested on-site at Willka T’ika spa and Andean ceremonies can be booked with advance notice.

Andean Spa Services

Professional local therapists offer Willka T’ika guests a full menu of optional therapeutic Andean SPA treatments, including massage, reflexology and facials. Crystal light therapy sessions and outdoor floral solar baths under the southern night skies are also available. Services may be scheduled individually by appointment once at Willka T’ika.

Yoga, Dance, and More

Two beautiful sunlit yoga studios with hardwood floors are fully equipped with mats, blankets, blocks and accessories. Both are heated and have sound systems, and are available to registered guests for personal practice when not in scheduled use. Private yoga instruction, depending on availability of local instructor, can be arranged for an additional fee.

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.

Explore Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley

Guided tours & wonderful hiking opportunities are offered at spectacular ancient Incan sites including Machu Picchu, Saksaywayman, Moray Circles, Pisaq, Maras, Ollantaytambo & more. Zip lining, horseback riding and river rafting are nearby activities that can be arranged with Wilka T’ika’s on-site concierge service.

Breathtaking Local Hikes

Willka T’ika is only a short hike from the spectacular Salts Mines of Maras and other local treasures. Ask for a delicious organic box lunch to take with you as you hike up the Sacred Valley and explore these magical sites. Walk or take a moto-taxi into the nearby town of Urubamba to visit local restaurants, a famous ceramics studio, and an alpaca wool factory.
