Embark on an unforgettable journey with DRIFT Yoga and Nancy Lea Yoga as we bring you Echoes of the Andes: Yoga, Ritual & Exploration—a soul-nourishing retreat set in the breathtaking landscapes of the Peruvian Andes.
Over 7 nights / 8 days, immerse yourself in the perfect balance of yoga, ritual, and exploration, Echoes of the Andes surrounded by the magic of Munay Sunqo, our retreat sanctuary. Peru is a land steeped in magic, mysticism, and ancient wisdom—an ideal destination for those seeking more than just a getaway.

Nestled between the majestic peaks of the Andes, the Sacred Valley has long been a place of spiritual significance. It was once the heart of the Incan empire, and today, it remains a powerful energetic center. Practicing yoga here feels deeply grounding and expansive, surrounded by mountain air, rivers, and the echoes of ancient civilizations.
The Valley is dotted with small Quechua villages, vibrant artisan markets, and sacred ruins—offering the chance to slow down, connect with the land, and explore traditions rooted in harmony with nature. Between yoga practices, you’ll have the opportunity to explore sites like Pisac and Maras, or simply rest in stillness.
And of course—Machu Picchu. A visit to this world wonder is not just sightseeing; it’s a pilgrimage. The journey to this sacred citadel, perched high above the clouds, is a powerful culmination of the retreat experience. It invites awe, reflection, and a deep sense of connection to something far beyond yourself.
Whether you're drawn to the mysticism of the Andes, the healing energy of the land, or the call to reconnect with your own inner wisdom, Peru offers something truly special. It’s not just a retreat—it’s a remembering.
