Tour Overview

Step away from the pace of Cusco for a focused two-day retreat in the Sacred Valley. This short experience combines careful preparation, one traditional evening ceremony, quiet overnight rest, and guided integration the following morning.

The retreat is designed for travelers seeking a respectful introduction in a small-group setting. It is a cultural and spiritual experience—not a quick tourist attraction, psychotherapy, or medical treatment.

Highlights

Preparation before the ceremony and guided integration afterward
A quiet natural setting away from the city
Small-group attention with English and Spanish support
Mandatory confidential health screening before confirmation
Vegetarian meals and one night of retreat accommodation

Responsible participation

Ayahuasca is psychoactive and may interact dangerously with certain medications and health conditions. Every guest must complete a confidential health and medication questionnaire before the booking is confirmed. Participation may be declined after screening.

Never stop or change prescribed medication on your own. Any medication change must be discussed with the prescribing clinician. No outcome or healing result can be guaranteed.

Itinerary — 2 Days

Morning pickup from your Cusco hotel is followed by a private transfer into the Sacred Valley. On arrival, the team introduces the retreat space, explains the schedule, and reviews personal intentions, boundaries, and practical safety guidance.

A light vegetarian lunch is served, followed by time to rest, journal, or walk quietly in nature. Before sunset, participants gather for final preparation and a traditional cleansing ritual.

The ayahuasca ceremony takes place in the evening in a dedicated ceremonial room. The facilitator and support team remain present throughout the scheduled experience. After the closing, participants rest overnight at the retreat center.

This was a last-minute trip, and Gringo Tours handled everything seamlessly. I would highly recommend them to anyone planning to visit Machu Picchu. Our guide, Jorge, was excellent and took amazing photos for us throughout the journey. A special thank you to Mr. Frank for helping me get back to the airport on time to catch my flight. Big thanks to all the crew from Happy Gringo Tours

 Verified Unforgettable experience
De omgeving van de trek was magisch, onderweg zijn we enorm goed begeleid door een lieve, relaxte, down to earth gids, Jorge Elder. He was amazing, along the way he kept telling us more about our environment with the highlight Machu Picchu where he passionately told us about the history. The cooking along the trek was amazing and we never had too little to eat. Everyone on the team was super friendly!

Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity and Happy Gringo takes care of all the preparation!! If you are not into the hassle of planning and staying at multiple places or you just want that picture and see the view, then this tour is for perfect for you. At first I was going to do all the planning and figure a way to get from Cusco to Manchu Picchu on a last minute trip catching different rides, staying at different hotels purchasing train, bus and entry tickets then turn around and do it all for the trip back. Well once we got into Cusco I came across this tour that took care of all of it for us, granted it was low season due to the end of rain season but they had tickets available next day. Communication was great from to start to finish and everything in between!! The drivers, tour guide Ruben were all super cool, informative and helpful!!! We were able to have a perfect day and view of this wonder of the world, I will be recommending this tour to family and friends and any of the wanderlust TripAdvisor review readers lol!!

I had a great experience with my tour guide, Ruben, during my visit to Machu Picchu. He was very informative, sharing interesting insights that made the site much more meaningful. His English was excellent, making everything easy to understand, and he communicated clearly throughout. Ruben was also friendly and professional, which made the tour even more enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this experience to anyone visiting Machu Picchu.

 Verified Absolutely fabulous
This trip exceeded all our expectations in every way and every experience was fabulous. I was a little worried about visiting in the rainy season but everywhere was green, the flowers were spectacular and there were fewer tourists - perfect and we only got wet once on the third morning of the Inca Trail. Highlights were flying over the Nasca Lines, trekking in the Colca Canyon, the three lagoons in the Sacred Valley and of course the Inca Trail where we were expertly looked after by six porters, a cook (in chef whites) and a guide. The organisation by Jacky at Happy Gringo in conjunction with Leonardo at Setours was first rate and all aspects of the holiday went like clockwork. Every guide and driver were first rate, the hotels were comfortable in great locations and Leonardo even helped to get our bags to us when Air France failed to deliver them from Paris.
