The best experience of my life. The food, the service, accommodations, were all beyond expectation. Our guide was spectacular. The tours were breathtaking and the spiritual ceremonies and shaman were some of the best I’ve ever encountered. I will definitely be going back to Willka T’ika! ~ Yama Yoga Studio, November 2021

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 …

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.

Our trip to Willka Tika was one of the most incredible trips of our life! It was the perfect blend of wellness and serenity, with the added rush of adventure to whatever degree one chooses. The access to sacred and historical Inca and other cultural sites nearby including Machu Picchu was unprecedented relative to any place we’ve ever traveled. Some very cool historical sites such as the salt mines near enough to hike and/or bike to.! Our hosts, Terry and …

Bucket list trip… this heavenly place in the Sacred Valley of Peru was created by a most remarkable woman, Carol Cumes. Her Chakra Gardens are magical, spiritual. Consider staying here when you wish to visit Machu Picchu.

“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.”

We appreciated all the gorgeous gardens of the resort, the tenderness of all who worked there, the delicious food & travel guide recommendations! I’m honestly not sure we would have seen or done all the things we did without your referrals. We definitely will be back again, will continue to spread the love of Peru, and will highly recommend to stay at your lovely, lovely resort.

Wow Magical Journey!

This has been one of the best experiences of my life. Om Namah Sivayah. This is my first visit and I feel the beginning of a special and new relationship. The physical environment of Willka T’ika is so beautiful and amazing and a great setting for our practice. I loved the combination of gardens, sacred hikes through ancient terrains and the wisdom of Inkan spirituality. This all has made a huge impact on me and I look forward to many …

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.

Wilka tika is a healing space that feels like home away from home. The staff is the most kind staff that takes care of you like their own family. I am infinitely grateful for their hospitality, care, and for the beautiful space that has been created.

I attended a 3 week yoga teacher training at Willka T’ika and it was wonderful! The gardens and grounds are absolutely GORGEOUS! The rooms were comfortable (especially helps that a hot water bottle is tucked into your sheets right before bedtime). It’s a very quick tuktuk ride away from the sweet little city center of Urubamba (amazing shopping and eats). And I cannot sing enough praises about all of the staff. Everyone was SO attentive to *any* need that you may have at (almost literally) ALL hours of the day. I will definitely be back to visit again💕🥰🦋

I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for the Wilka Tika staff. My wife is currently leading a retreat at the center. My schedule freed up at home. So I opted to come to Peru. The center was extremely welcoming to my unexpected arrival. Furthermore they did a stellar job suggesting activities and accommodations for me to experience. As a business owner myself. I often evaluate establishments on how well they execute requests outside their normal scope of services. Yesterday they excelled. Sending Wilka Tika a big Mahalo from Hawaii.

What a special experience! I stayed for 3 weeks in this little slice of heaven in the sacred valley. Huge thank you to the staff who welcomed our group like family from day one and made us feel so looked after. Verena - your endless patience and kindness to ensure we had everything we needed and Roxana and Livio I lost count of how many acts of kindness every day. Specials teas for poorly students, organising meals, sharing homemade remedies and wisdom too-thank you! Carol-you really have created a unique place at WT-honoured to have walked though the gardens every day and feel the magic. Terry and Tristan thank you for being so welcoming and even joining us for some yoga! I can’t wait to come back again. 🧡✨🌸

5 days into my peru journey I am sadly leaving the Willka T'ika Spa Resort. It was an awesome time. The rooms, the food, the garden are all amazing. Try the flower bath!
