- Machu Picchu Wellness Escape with Shaman-Led Ceremonies at Sanctuary Lodge — 1 days
- Peru Andes Wellness & Machu Picchu Hiking Week — 7 days
Wellness holidays in Machu Picchu pair time in the Peruvian Andes with treatments, ceremonies and gentle acclimatisation, and the two programmes on this page approach that in quite different ways. At one end you have a single-day wellness escape based at Sanctuary Lodge, which sits right at the entrance to Machu Picchu, so the citadel is on your doorstep rather than a bus and a queue away. The wellness side here is built around treatments and shaman-led ceremonies that you book individually, rather than a fixed class timetable, which suits you if you want the flexibility to shape your own day. At the other end is a seven-day Andes wellness and hiking week, where you fly into Cusco, get collected, and drive about an hour and a half down into the Sacred Valley to a retreat house near Urubamba. That first afternoon is kept deliberately empty — coca tea, a light dinner and an early night — because altitude is the thing most people underestimate. Between the two you can choose a brief, ceremony-led stay or a full week that leans into hiking and gradual acclimatisation. Prices on this page run from 629 EUR for the one-day escape to 1890 EUR for the seven-day week, so there is scope whether you want a single focused experience or a longer stay in the Sacred Valley.
Frequently asked questions
How much do wellness holidays in Machu Picchu cost?
Prices on this page range from 629 EUR to 1890 EUR. The one-day Machu Picchu Wellness Escape at Sanctuary Lodge starts from 629 EUR, while the seven-day Peru Andes Wellness and Machu Picchu Hiking Week is from 1890 EUR.
How long are the retreats?
The two programmes on this page are quite different in length. One is a single-day wellness escape at Sanctuary Lodge, and the other is a seven-day Andes wellness and hiking week based in the Sacred Valley.
Where exactly are these retreats based?
The one-day escape is at Sanctuary Lodge, which sits at the entrance to Machu Picchu, so the citadel is right on your doorstep rather than a bus and a queue away. The seven-day week is based at a retreat house in the Sacred Valley, near Urubamba, about an hour and a half's drive from Cusco.
What kind of wellness is on offer?
On the one-day escape at Sanctuary Lodge, the wellness programme is built around treatments and shaman-led ceremonies that you book individually, rather than a fixed class timetable. The seven-day week combines Andes wellness with Machu Picchu hiking across the Sacred Valley.
How do I get there?
For the seven-day week you fly into Cusco, get picked up, and drive about an hour and a half down into the Sacred Valley to the retreat house near Urubamba. The one-day escape is based at Sanctuary Lodge at the entrance to Machu Picchu itself.
Do I need to worry about altitude?
Yes, altitude is the thing everyone underestimates. On the seven-day week the first afternoon is kept deliberately empty — coca tea, a light dinner and an early night — to help you settle in before the days ahead.
Which programme suits a shorter trip?
If you only have a day, the Machu Picchu Wellness Escape at Sanctuary Lodge runs over a single day from 629 EUR and puts you right at the entrance to the citadel. If you want a fuller stay, the seven-day Andes week from 1890 EUR gives you time in the Sacred Valley.
