the sweet simplicity of their message of caring for “Pacchamama” (earth
mother) and for
this special opportunity to
explore Cuzco, the fabled center of the Incan empire

Lodge enroute to Machu Picchu.
Fresh in our memories and hearts is
our most recent Yoga Adventure to Peru - incredibly
fun, exhilarating, enlightening and rejuvenating.

the Sacred Valley is lovely, remote, and rural with a beautiful

comfortable abode where spirit of place and sacred space
allow you to feel immediately at home.
Explore some of our favorite Incan sites
and villages as we weave our way to Machu Picchu.
Visit the magical ruins of Ollayantaytambo
and Pisac and the traditional weaving village of
Chinchero perched spectacularly atop the “Alte Plano”. Experience spirituality,
art and lifestyle of the Quechua peoples through direct
connection with lifelong family, friends, shamans, and
artisans.
Meals most are included with
vegetarian and non- vegetarian options.
Trek along the Urubamba River to
the private hacienda luxury “campsite” of an old-time friend; and camp beneath
the endless starry Andean sky. Sounds of the river
rushing below and 20,000 foot glaciated peaks looming above.
The Apus or gods of the mountains will grace us with their
presence as we continue our journey to Machu Picchu. Join
the traditional “Incan Trail” on foot to enter Inti

"Whew! Home again. I hope you're as well as we are.
We LOVED our whole trip! Machu Picchu had been a lifelong dream of mine, a big one. Now my wish list seems much shorter! I'm so glad we went with you. It couldn't have been better.
I'm looking over my photos and thinking,
what a great trip. I realize you had a complicated set of
arrangements to work with -- all the people with their individual
needs, everyone's expectations, --- and you made it look
easy. Accommodations, schedule, pace, people, food, everything
was perfect. I want to go again. And my interest in yoga
has been rekindled, again thanks to you. Well, wherever
you are, just know that we appreciate what good care you
took of us. You gave us an unforgettable trip."

"Harry and I are still thinking about
the magnificent trip we took with you both. It was
something I have wanted to do all my life. A really
magical place. And
the bonus was the group, you both, and all the other things
that we did. Am saving all the wonderful weavings
that we bought for Christmas, but the rug that we got
in front of the church is on the bench in the hall of
our house in North Carolina, and it looks wonderful."
