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.

Not only were we ‘flying high’ from the magnificent gardens, great food, and of course the altitude, but it was the ‘down to earth’ hospitality and warmth of both the staff and owner, Carol, that really touched our hearts. I can’t imagine a more perfect spot to teach yoga.
