“Willka Tika hits a homerun! As a yoga retreat leader, I have been facilitating international yoga retreats for nearly 15 years. 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. The staff at Willka Tika is unparalleled. Their care and attention to the entire group was impeccable. My greatest hope is that if you have felt called to visit Peru and experience the Sacred Valley, you will choose Willka Tika for all they stand for, all they deliver, and all they continue to support.”

“My experience at Willka T’ika was truly more extraordinary than I anticipated. I just participated in the Essential Wellness Retreat, and I can honestly say it was the most beautiful and transformational experience. When you first arrive, you feel as if you’ve stumbled upon a secret paradise. The grounds are lush with brilliantly colored flowers and air filled with fragrant scents. You immediately feel your nervous system settle as you hear the hum of bees and the chirping of birds. Each staff member embraces you with such warmth. The food is beyond delicious, the rooms are lovely, and each night a warm hot water bottle awaits you. I am beyond grateful for this soul-filling experience. I cannot wait to come back.”

“An experience unlike any other. This was our first Mystery School retreat under the McKenna Academy, and I am happy to be working with Willka T’ika on such transformative programs. The magic of the Chakra Gardens combined with the spiritual power of sound meditation makes for an experience unlike any other.”

“The facilities are designed with care, offering comfort while respecting the natural surroundings. Every detail—from the lush gardens to the tranquil sacred spaces—invited reflection and stillness. The facilitators were exceptional—wise, compassionate, and incredibly knowledgeable. They guided each of us with care and respect, ensuring that we felt safe and supported every step of the way. The retreat seamlessly blended ancient rituals with modern wellness tools, offering a perfect balance of guided experiences. It allowed me to reconnect with my soul and the land in a way I hadn’t anticipated, leaving me feeling recharged, awakened, and deeply grateful — a spiritual awakening that I will carry with me for a lifetime. I can’t wait to return.”

“There are pivotal moments in one’s life when it is necessary to step out of our daily reality and immerse deeply in the sacred, held by the vibrancy of nature, beauty, and community. Willka T’ika is where I return again and again for the journey of transformation and healing. Terry Cumes and Tristen Langley are trusted stewards of this magical, spiritual retreat — conscious leaders who have helped guide so many of us on a path of purpose, myself included. I highly recommend this retreat for anyone exploring their own process of transformation in pursuit of purpose.”

“Stepping into Willka Tika Retreat, I had no clue that I was about to embark on an extraordinary journey that would touch my soul. Tucked away in the heart of the Sacred Valley, the retreat’s surreal location was just the beginning of its charm. From the moment I arrived, the people welcomed me with open arms and made me feel part of their warm and friendly community. Every meal felt like a celebration of flavors, nourishing both body and spirit. The memories and transformations I experienced are etched into my very being. With its breathtaking surroundings, genuine hospitality, and nourishing cuisine, this place has become a cornerstone of change in my journey. My deepest gratitude for such a profoundly impactful experience.”

“Willka T’ika is the literal garden of Eden. Walking the grounds is like being in paradise. Hundreds of flowers and blooming trees surround you. The staff is friendly and makes you feel like family. This is my second time, and I feel like I’m coming home. I love the yoga room, and the food is over the top. I feel good bringing a group here knowing we will be cared for and have a great time.”

“For the past 4 years we’ve led life-changing yoga retreats to Willka T’ika. It is the quintessential set and setting to experience authentic Andean culture while deepening yoga practice. It is a yogi’s dream — Chakra Meditation Gardens, inspiring practice spaces, and world-class healthy dining. It is the perfect take-off point for Sacred Valley exploration. Best of all is the loving staff who make you feel at home.”

“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 surroundings. The itinerary offered the perfect balance of activities and space for healing and growth. The gardens radiate a palpable energy, making Willka T’ika a truly sacred space. I am already planning my next retreat here.”

“I honestly cannot think of a better location for leaders than Willka T’ika. It was extremely supportive for helping the team come together, connect, get re-energized, and reassess what’s important for self, company, and customers. The environment, service, and energy of the place are phenomenal. Highly, highly recommend it. Go there!”

“On my last day I was asking, ‘Do I really need to go home?’ The experience here at Willka Tika was truly exceptional. It is an oasis — a place to relax and rejuvenate. From excellent food to clean, comfortable accommodations to a staff that does everything they can to accommodate your wishes, you cannot go wrong by selecting this place as your home base in the Sacred Valley. I will be back and plan on bringing my daughters with me to share the incredible experience.”

“My experience at Willka T’ika for the Conscious Leadership Retreat was truly transformative. The engaging itinerary offered opportunities to connect with other professionals, share our stories, and exchange leadership insights. The wellness activities — including the best massage I’ve ever had, twice — were incredibly rejuvenating, and the food was an absolute 10 out of 10. The retreat blended cultural activities, profound Quechua ceremonies, and focused leadership discussions beautifully.”

“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. The staff was exceptional, the food delicious, and we all loved the itinerary. The markets, ceramics, lunches, local towns, sightseeing, visiting the school, and Machu Picchu were great. I cannot thank you enough for giving 12 ladies from the Midwest a vacation of a lifetime. It’s an experience I will forever cherish.”

“If you need to find peace, harmony, and joy in life, this is your place! I didn’t know what to expect and was blown away upon arrival. I changed my flight to stay longer and didn’t want to leave the compound and its beautiful gardens. I’ve traveled a lot and have never seen anything like it. The vegetarian food is delicious, the staff like family, and the owners passionate. What more can you want!”

“I led my second Spiritual Retreat at this beautiful sanctuary. Everything is perfectly organized to help you connect with nature and with yourself, to heal and awaken. The 7 Chakra Gardens, cozy bedrooms, exquisite food, loving staff, and tour guides make this center the perfect place for an unforgettable journey. I will definitely continue leading more retreats here.”

“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 made everything seamless — booking, payments, menu, excursions, everything. The property is perfect for groups large and small. The 7 Chakra Gardens are magnificent, every detail done with love. The rooms are beautiful, the food is great, and the staff fantastic. I highly recommend Willka Tika and will be sure to return soon.”

“I’ve been to Willka T’ika twice between major life transitions. The pure energy of the place and warmth of the people gave me the clarity to choose my next path.”

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