Find Authentic Retreats in Aguas Calientes Peru

"Angel's Machu Picchu 4 day journey was awesome! She's the perfect host to guide as she's a healer, has passion for the area and is very knowledgeable. Her energy also attracts the right participants who need to be there too, as I was grateful to share this experience with such beautiful souls. The energy of the sacred spaces will stay with me forever. It was very healing and I highly recommend!"

"I am really happy I went on this retreat, it was an amazing combination of seeing mystical ruins, spiritual practices, and hanging out and meeting other people from around the world. Angel is a great hostess as she has found the happy medium between leading the group while allowing flexibility in the schedule so everyone is at ease. There are so many people giving tours in Peru but she is someone who actually deeply loves Machu Picchu and her passion is contagious. I enjoyed having the daily meditation and yoga in the morning to start the day— it was the perfect way to find balance and relaxation before a busy day of hiking and activities. I would definitely recommend the retreat for anyone who wants to see Machu Picchu in a more conscious way. Thanks!"

"I met Angel in a very hard moment of my life. 4 days of retreat that I spent with Angel and a group helped me a lot to reestablish my inner peace and strength to keep going further. And special thanks to individual healing sessions with Angel."

"Angel hosts a truly mind blowing retreat that I would HIGHLY recommend everyone experience! Extremely adventurous and beautifully balanced with many spiritual opportunities, this is a once in a lifetime experience I will carry with me forever. Angel wormed her way into my heart even before the retreat began and has remained a dear friend even after. Peru has the most exquisite energy and this retreat was such a perfect way to get to experience that with the guidance of Angel, a true spiritual guide, empath and healer. For anyone considering going, don’t think twice, this trip is definitely worth every penny. It was definitely a life changing experience for me and part of my heart will always remain!"

"Over 2 years have passed since I attended Angel’s Sacred Valley / Machu Picchu retreat and I still consider it one of my favourite experiences. It was elevating and energizing and profoundly moving. The scenery was absolutely stunning and the ruins were amazing. Angel has a very compassionate and generous soul. She puts so much of herself into making the retreat special. I cannot recommend it enough."

"Angel by name Angel by nature! Our time with Angel was truly special. I feel so fortunate to have spent such an amazing l time in Peru with Angel and the other beautiful souls that were drawn to this wonderful spiritual guide in such a magical place. Angel was so good at communicating before and during my time in Peru. I had many questions before the trip and she took so much time to make sure I had all the information I required. It was so reassuring as a female travelling from the UK on my own to be met at Cusco airport by a driver she had arranged. As well as the 4 day retreat to Machu Picchu, Angel also organised 3 extra days in Sacred Valley, hooking me up with another traveller, to share accommodation and the costs of a private trip. Our guide was a Peruvian Lady who gave us great insight into the history and spirituality of Inca sites including Sacsayhuaman, Temple of the Moon, Inca agricultural terraces and Moray Salt Mines in Sacred Valley. Our morning meditations and yoga practices set each day off to a great start. The time we shared at Machu Picchu was incredible. We meditated and chanted in some very special places, away from the crowds, so we could feel our special connection with this sacred and spiritual place. Angel made sure all our food needs were met, loving preparing buffet breakfasts and packed lunches. As a fellow Vegan, she directed me to the most amazing Vegan restaurants – in particular I would recommend Green Point in Cusco (just a short walk from Casa De La Gringa hotel which had also recommended). The Garden of Vegan in Urubamba is also well worth a visit. Thank you so much Angel. I will feel forever connected to you, Machu Picchu, Sacred Valley and all the special souls who shared this time together. I look forward to the next time our paths cross again."

"The country, the place, the people and the ceremonies in this retreat are life changing. Angel knows Peru like the back of her own pocket. You get so much value for the money on this retreat. I will go back to experience more retreats with Angel in the future."

"This trip has been one of the best in my life. It was truly amazing. If you are curious about it, just go!! You will not regret it :) ! I was in Peru in February and March, and at that time of the year the nature was really lush and green. We visited so many beautiful sites! Macchu Picchu was of course a highlight. But the other places and things we did was also so exciting. The trip has done much for me, especially when it comes to do meditation and yoga on a deeper level. The food was great, the Peruvians are very welcoming and sweet and all in all it was a great trip. This trip can also be a great starting point if you want to take a longer trip in South-America and visit other countries.:)"

""Angel" has become my guardian mother on earth and my friend for life, and this trip is one of the best adventures of my life. I have learned so much about myself and shared so much wonderful and magical time with the beautiful group of lovely people and all the other local people who have been involved in our journey. We have visited so many great sacred sites that it is difficult to rate them. The healthy food was so delicious and the space of living was great. I will never be the same person after this retreat in a positive way. I definitely recommend to everybody who search for some answers and need a beautiful journey inside and outside of ourself to go, you will never regret. Angel is an amazing person, teacher, in my eyes a becoming master of guardian angels with lots of experience and love. Thanks and blessings ❤ I will for sure go back. Pisac in my heart for ever."

"Angel is a most compassionate person that I have ever met about spirituality. She truly dedicated her life to healing The Planet Earth and Cosmos. During my journey in Peru, she guided us wonderfully; she communicates well with locals, arranged everything smoothly such as Hotel, transportation, entrance tickets to ancient sites with local guides and her cool driver Mr. Tino :) Moreover, Vegan cooking course was amazing, I guess I ate the healthiest food in here during my stay and I learned a lot of cool tips and techniques in the kitchen. I lost weight, I increased my meditation time, I frankly healed my mind. I also have an idea about what light work is now :) I feel like I will be kept in touch with her and Pisac. Thus, I strongly recommend to Sacred Journey if you are thinking to visit Peru for a spiritual purpose especially if you are into learning new cool stuff, rituals, ceremonies and etc.. Namaste, Ocean"

"I took Angel's retreat in April 2017. I was with her for an entire month attending her 2 day Lares Hotsprings, 13 day yoga retreat in Pisac and the week long trip to Lake Titicaca. My experience was very emotional as I had very strong intentions of why I was coming and what I hoped to accomplish. I enjoyed the meditation technique Angel had us practice especially the mantra (Ma-Om) and getting connected to mother earth and her energy. I still do this technique at home. I also enjoyed Angel's kirtans which she had us do daily. I'm not a singer. Too scared of karaokes, but the kirtans helped me find my voice, my confidence. I thank Angel for this. For anyone thinking of doing a trip like this, remember there will be ups and downs. Just remember why you chose to come, what your intentions are. Because there will be different energies from different people - some good and some bad. You may find the bathroom situation challenging. You may feel like one moment you're getting fed like kings and queens and the next, you're barely getting enough. A trip like this can test you, make you realize you can handle more than you think."

"Hi, My name is Anton and I participated with Angel’s first trip with her as guide in Peru, Pisac and surroundings. I have also participated here and there since then, and I consider Angel as my friend. My overall impression is a unique journey with moments of imbalance. I really enjoyed the yoga practice and Angel’s dedication to this every day. Every day starts with a yoga session before breakfast, and I really needed this as a person coming from a “sit still and work/look at tv –western culture”. We had opportunities to eat healthy and vegan all the time. As far as I know Angel goes by the sattvic vegan diet, which suits me. We could personally eat what we preferred outside of this diet, but sattvic is the preferable choice at this journey. She also talks and teaches about how to make vegan food, which is included in the journey. Angel have experience in finding different locations around the sacred valley, such as sites containing ruins, ancient stone circles, mountain salt mines and a condor welfare center. She also guides the groups to Machu Picchu and from there to Wayna Picchu which is amazing to visit. She has knowledge in plant medicine, but only in one specific plant, and she does not want to hear or talk about any other plant. She has a strong way in holding her space, so she can comment about things that doesn’t exist in her subjective view of the world, pretty direct and firm. The positive aspect of this is that she has deep knowledge in accurate that plant. She is very skilled in singing and playing with instruments. I would like to mention, Angel doesn’t have perfect balance in her business acquaintances. She is mentally blocking negative feedbacks from people in her surroundings often blaming others rather than looking at her part of the issue. This results in discussion about prices and overall planning. As I have understood life, when we face a disturbing conversation, or even situation, we just have to look into ourselves with the thought about what I did to contribute/create this imbalanced conversation or situation. I don’t feel that Angel has fully succumbed to this. But then again, she is dedicated spiritually so who knows. With her spiritual side, there also comes a side of manipulation, which also acts as a teacher to express yourself truly and from the bottom of your soul.

"" Now, what a wonderful, wonderful, experience. Going to this retreat in Peru I didn't really know what to expect, but the experience went above my highest hopes. " "I left with my heart full of joy, peace and love- as cheesy as it sounds it is also very true. I saw some stunning nature, had delicious food, met some amazing people and learned so many things about myself and connections to others, nature and spirits. Looking back its amazing how all that could happen in only two weeks time! Thanks to the universe for bringing me here and surrounding me with beautiful people and environment and thanks to Angel for bringing this life changing experience to me. One love <3 ""

"The Yoga retreat in Peru was an amazing experience! Breathtaking! Thank you Angel for being such a wonderful guide and Yoga teacher!"

"This retreat was an amazing experience. I was looking to find myself and learn to feel love from within instead of searching for love from others. The mediation and yoga really helped me look within. I not only found the beauty in myself but how to see the beauty in others. The vegan diet was hard at first but really changed the way I felt. In the end all the teachings the diet and lessons came together and helped me truly free happy. Very life changing. Angel is very caring and I truly feel like her goal is to help people. I will never forget my experience and what I have learned."
