The retreat runs over four days, based in the Machu Picchu area of the Cusco Region. Each day usually includes a yoga class, guided meditation and some time outdoors, whether that's walking trails around the valley or exploring the Machu Picchu citadel itself. Yoga and meditation happen both indoors and outdoors depending on weather and the day's plan.

What sets this one apart from a standard yoga week in Peru is the healing work. Angel offers spiritual healing sessions, ThetaHealing, Akashic record readings and group healing sessions, and the retreat draws on these. A typical group session combines breathwork, mantra chanting and gentle hands-off energy work, in the same style as the weekly guided Zoom meditations Angel runs. If you are mainly after a fitness or hiking holiday, know that the spiritual content is a central part of the programme, not an optional extra.

Angel Amita Leuna leads the retreat personally. Angel describes the work as a soul-mission and has been doing it for more than 13 years from a base at Machu Picchu, working as a healer, yoga teacher, homeopath and spiritual guide. Testimonials from guests in Croatia, Norway, France, the USA and Spain repeatedly mention Angel's calm, kind manner and how personally involved Angel is in planning each guest's trip.

The location is the main draw. Machu Picchu sits in the cloud-forest mountains above the Urubamba River, and the retreat uses the site and its surroundings for hiking, meditation and quiet time. Past guests single out the views from the accommodation.

Accommodation and food are handled for you: a centre/hotel with clean rooms and views, plus vegan meals. The page also lists separate private day tours with a guide named Tuhin, Sacred Valley tours and Lake Titicaca trips, so it's possible to extend your time in Peru around the retreat. A Lake Titicaca retreat is listed as upcoming.

Retreat dates listed on the page are Oct 29 - Nov 1, Nov 19-22, Dec 13-16, Jan 13-16, Feb 25-28 and March 18-21. The page doesn't state the year for these, so confirm current dates directly with Angel.
