“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.”

An Experience Unlike Any Other
Dr. Dennis McKenna

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.

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.

Carol, Mark and the staff of locals make this a most special place. Our guide and co-adventurer, spoke with such passion for her homeland that we all grew to love her and Peru. The organization and attention to detail helped our group feel right at home. The skylight in the Yoga Room enhanced our Suryanamaska in the morning, and the blankets were deluxe. The whole group said that they had never been fed so well and with such consistent quality …
