A week Elsewhere, in Peru’s Sacred Valley

Peru is for those with an appetite. We meet over lunch at Mauka by Pía León, tucked into the old heart of Cusco. Outside, centuries of history; inside, a one of the World’s Best Chefs with something new to say about Peru. We’ll start by tasting what she has in mind.

Then we head into the Sacred Valley. The mountains make their first impression; and over the next six nights, we’ll get interested in the smaller things, too. What’s growing beside the path. Who made the ceramics. What Chef Pío has done with an ingredient we’ve never seen before.

Hannah lived in Peru for three years, and the week follows relationships formed there: people whose work, knowledge, and company she travel’s back again and again for.

We’ll take the train to Machu Picchu, and hike to ancient ruins and sacred springs. Those who want to go further can join an optional horseback excursion or spend an afternoon with textile artists, learning how plants become color. Fair warning: their stories may move you more deeply than you expect.

Back at our private spa, Cassie offers twice-daily yoga for anyone who wants it. There’s cold water, sauna, and farm-to-table dinner to look forward to.

Elsewhere Retreats guest hits a yoga pose during her included excursion to Machu Picchu

“I’ve travelled internationally for retreats before but none offered excursions like Elsewhere Retreats. … From the start, I had probably a million questions and Hannah was exceptional in helping me plan my trip in Lima and Cusco. … Cassie is an excellent and compassionate yoga instructor.”

— Susan L., February 2025 guest


Your hosts for the week

Hannah brings three years of life in Peru, local friendships, and a hospitality veteran’s interest in who’s cooking. Cassie brings a yoga practice shaped by close attention to people: thoughtful instruction, an instinct for when to challenge and when to soften, and room for both first-timers and longtime students.

We’ve been friends for over a decade. We plan the week together, and we’re there to host it.
