Word of Mouth
Testimonials
"The hiking is hard work, but it was the integration circles afterward that let me actually process what was coming up. Practicing yoga after hours on the trail and being part of such a tight group container made it an unforgettable trip."
"I've never felt so reconnected to my own body. The morning somatic practices completely changed how I moved on the mountain, and sitting by the fire with everyone at night just stripped away the city noise."
"I came into this solo looking for a deep reset. The flow of the days is so well thought out—intense trekking to places like Rainbow Mountain mixed with free days to just wander, get an optional massage, and rest. I'm leaving with genuine, lifelong friendships."
"The culture, the mountain lakes, the food—everything felt incredibly authentic and grounding. The whole space just puts you at ease the second you arrive."
"Standing at the edge of the glacial lakes and pushing through the altitude was intense. But honestly, the best part was the community feel. Meeting people who are on the exact same wavelength and building those close bonds was unexpected."
"A true pilgrimage. The somatic work in the mornings kept me grounded, and the evening circles by the fire felt completely raw and honest."

Q&A — Details & Preparation
We stay at a beautiful, dedicated sanctuary in Calca within Peru's Sacred Valley. Accommodation includes private and shared rooms with fully functional hot running water, expansive indoor and outdoor yoga spaces, casual recreation areas, and an open fireplace perfect for evening group integration circles.
Absolutely. Most of our travelers join solo. It is a tight-knit group format, meaning you will be well-supported and connected to the collective container the entire time.
No, you will book your own flights directly into the Alejandro Velasco Astete International Airport in Cusco (CUZ). Once you land, all group vans, trains, mountain transfers, and excursion logistics across the Sacred Valley are completely taken care of.
Cardio and endurance exercises are highly recommended prior to arrival to get your lungs ready for high-altitude mountain trails. We also suggest taking natural wellness supplements like spirulina or oxygenating herbs a few weeks before the trip to assist your body with acclimatization.
Due to the strict booking logistics of our local providers, we do not offer cash refunds. However, if something comes up, your deposit and payments can be fully transferred as a credit toward any of our future Vivid Visionaries retreats.
