The weather in the Sacred Valley tends to be warm and dry during the day, and chilly at night. We are in the high Andean mountains, and in general the climate in the Sacred Valley is variable because it includes altitudes ranging from 2200 – 2800 meters above sea level. During the day, temperatures range between 20 – 26 °C (68 – 78 °F) and at night, between 8 °C to 10 °C (46 – 50 °F). This climate is generally the same throughout the year, although there is more rain during the rainy season of November until March. We recommend bringing some warm layers, pants, sweaters, warm socks, and perhaps a hat and gloves in case you get cold at night, in addition to lighter layers for the day.

*Important Note* Due to the higher altitude of the Sacred Valley, we recommend, if possible, arriving 1-2 days before your retreat, to allow yourself to acclimatize. Coca leaf tea and lozenges can support your system with this process (available for purchase in Cusco), and there are also cans of oxygen easily purchased in most pharmacies if you find yourself struggling with the altitude.

For our Sacred Valley location, we recommend flying into Cusco, Peru (CUZ) and booking your flights only after your medical intake form has been reviewed and confirmed by our intake team. Please see our travel logistics page for more information.

For our Sacred Valley location, we recommend booking the Hotel Costa del Sol Wyndham which is the location of our shuttle pickup and drop-off. Please see our travel logistics page for more information.

As soon as you arrive in the Sacred Valley of Peru, you’ll be swept away by the beauty of the Urubamba mountain range. The Urubamba mountain range is a majestic sight to behold, with its towering peaks and rugged terrain. It’s easy to see why the Andean people consider these mountains sacred – they are a source of inspiration and awe. This area is surrounded by ancient Incan sacred sites, picturesque towns, and local Andean and Quechua communities that keep their rich cultural heritage alive.

Our retreat space is nestled in the tranquil village of Arín, at the foothills of the majestic mountain Pitusiray. Surrounded by cascading waterfalls and lovingly tended gardens of medicinal plants, rest easy in hammocks and secluded spaces, warm yourself by cozy fireplaces, and deepen your connection to yourself and nature in shalas overlooking the sacred mountains of Pitusiray and Sahuasiray.

We are grateful to work in collaboration with the retreat venue Raíces Inkas to bring you into a container of presence, peace, and connection, where the rhythms of nature reflect our own unfolding, and all of you is welcome.
