FAQs
Where do I fly?
Your destination lies within the Sacred Valley. There are no international flights directly into Cusco or the Sacred Valley. You will need to book a flight to Lima - Jorge Chavez Airport (LIM) as well as flight to Cusco - Velasco Astete Cusco International Airport (CUZ).
When should I arrive?
It is recommended to arrive 1-3 days early. I can help find accommodations outside of your retreat experience. These windows of before / after can be a great opportunity to rest, integrate and further explore.
How do I get to Munay Sonqo?
There will be a shuttle arranged to escort you from the airport in Cusco to the center. It is essential you be on time. Please remember, transportation costs to and from the center are not included in your retreat costs.
What do I pack?
To name a few things... a poncho, warm sweatshirt, hat, hiking boots and more! All important information including weather, cultural considerations, plus a packing list will be delivered to you at least 120 days before your retreat begins..
How does 'Prosperity Program' work?
We believe in lifting each other up through prosperity and joy. We pay you $100 for every person you bring to any retreat with Sacred Sojourn, regardless if you attend or not.
I want to join this retreat, but fear traveling alone...
Many people feel this way! As someone who has traveled the globe many times alone, I encourage others to connect with the teachings solo traveling can bring. It is an unforgettable ecstasy no one else can give you. Moments of solitude exploring faraway magical lands can lead to the sweetest moments in which we connect with our heart's truth.
If you wish to travel with someone, I can do my best to connect and coordinate you with another retreat guest.
