To get to us, you will have to take an international flight to Lima (Jorge Chávez International Airport, LIM), and then a national flight to Cusco (Alejandro Velasco Astete International Airport, CUZ), where we will arrange land transportation to the Sacred Valley. We will get in touch regarding the national flight and pick-up from the Cusco airport once your application has been approved. Flights costs are not included in the program.

The weather in the Sacred Valley can vary drastically in just one day, and can be unpredictable, with temperatures ranging from a high of 71° F (22° C) to a low of 45° F (7° C). November comes right before the start of rainy season. Because of the high altitude of the valley, 71° can often feel much warmer when the sun is out. Our motto is to always be prepared with your sunscreen and your raincoat because you never know which one you’re going to need in one day.

We will be based at 9,500 ft (3,000 meters) above sea level. Most people doesn’t encounter many issues acclimating to the altitude, but we will have herb allies available that can help with any discomforts should they arise. If you have an underlying medical condition that leaves you at risk of complications while being in high altitudes, please contact us. We recommend arriving at least a couple of days before the retreat to get acclimated to the altitude.

The weather tends to be unpredictable in the Sacred Valley, so layers will be your best friend here. It is common to be wearing socks and a beanie in the morning, and shorts and a t-shirt in the afternoon. We will be providing a more detailed packing list after you’ve submitted your application.

That will depend on where you are flying from. People from most countries in the Americas and Western Europe do not need a tourist visa to enter Peru, and will be granted a 90-day tourist stamp upon arrival at the Lima airport. It is essential to present a valid passport with a minimum validity of six months from the date of entry into the country when entering Peru. To check if you need a visa, review this document. For more information, visit the peru.travel website.

The official currency of Peru is the Sol (S/). US dollars are accepted in many places, but you will need to use Soles in smaller communities, specifically for local transportation, at local restaurants, and artisan markets. Foreign currency can be exchanged at banks or exchange offices (we recommend you do this in at the Lima airport or in the city of Cusco). You can find ATMs in the Sacred Valley where you can take cash out in US dollars or Soles, but they are not always reliable. If possible, please plan to arrive with enough cash for your stay. We recommend bringing bills in good condition, without tears or marks, as most businesses will not accept bills with a lot of wear and tear.

We intentionally keep our group sizes small for the intimacy it creates. This group will be capped at 6 women.
