Reviews
Excellent place to do yoga and relax!
Kinsapacha is a really beautiful oasis in Urubamba. Ilsa and Jorge are really lovely and friendly - and so are the animals Tupac, Laya and Tigre!
The yoga is excellent, the food unbelievable and the rooms wonderful. I highly recommend this as a place to relax and integrate.

Beautiful!
So grateful that I stayed at Kinsapacha! I felt so welcomed, safe, and at home. The property was beautiful, food was excellent (thank you Miguel!), and yoga was so intentional and healing.
Ilse, Astraya, and Talita have the best energy and they helped guide me physically, mentally, and spiritually.
I feel like they are family now. It was even better that Astraya and Talita accompanied me to the Maras Salt Farm, Ollantaytambo, and a nearby hike to the cross that had a breathtaking view.
I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
Highly recommend!

Location
Kinsapacha is on the outskirts of Urubamba, right in the heart of The Sacred Valley of the Incas. Just an hour away from Cusco and a short taxi ride from Ollantaytambo’s Machu Piccu train station, we couldn’t be in a better position for your retreat.
Our one week yoga retreat includes everything that the three day retreat includes plus more. Stay for six nights at Kinsapacha, take part in daily yoga and meditation sessions, and eat a fresh, healthy breakfast in our kitchen.
You’ll go to Maras salt mines as well and, as you have more time, you’ll also be able to take advantage of a free transfer to the Ollantaytambo Incan ruins.
We also offer a day hike in the area to see some incredible views of the valley. A week your body and mind will thank you for, after this you’ll be able to head home or back on the road feeling refreshed and refocused.
Kinsapacha offers comfortable rooms with private bathroom and hot water. Decorated with recycled items and pieces from local artisans. They have double, triple and family rooms. For travelers who have a lower budget there are dorms of maximum six people with private toilet. There is a communal area with a fireplace inside the main house and another area for making bonfires in the garden. There is also a fully equipped communal kitchen for the more independent travelers and a healthy daily menu for the ones that don’t feel like cooking for lunch.
Kinsapacha Yoga Retreat prepares wholesome and delicious vegetarian and vegan meals. Most of the vegetables come straight from their organic garden and others are sourced from organic farms in the neighborhood. The cooking style is Ayurvedic inspired and the plates are very colorful and tasteful.
This yoga retreat can be done at any time of the year. You can add this retreat package to your travel schedule in Peru and we can adjust the schedule if you would like to do extra excursions.
