Day 1: Arrival and immersion in nature
This morning, you will take a flight from Lima to Chachapoyas. Upon arrival, our driver will be waiting for you and will accompany you to visit the village of Huancas and its pottery women before a short hike to the Sonche Canyon, offering a magnificent view of the Valley and the Andes.
After this escape to the Canyon, lunch in Chachapoyas (not included), then your driver will take you directly to your peaceful haven for the next few days.
You will settle in and then take a walk around the hotel and its lush gardens. During this introductory herbal medicine workshop, you will discover the local botanical treasures and their benefits.
In the afternoon, a purifying sauna session infused with garden plants awaits you, preparing your body and mind for this wellness stay.
The evening will end with a light and nourishing dinner, followed by a well-deserved night of rest in preparation for the next day’s excursion to Gocta.
Day 2: Hiking and connection with nature
After a gentle wake-up, a shot of natural medicine will be served before heading to the majestic Gocta waterfall. During this hike, you’ll have the opportunity to observe the fascinating Andean Cock-of-the-Rock in its natural habitat, while a guided meditation will invite you to ground yourself in the present moment.
A picnic breakfast in the heart of the forest will make this hike a true immersion in nature, a soothing forest bath for both body and soul.
Back in the village, a delicious lunch awaits, followed by a relaxing massage in the late afternoon, a gentle and restorative treatment to unwind your body.
The day will conclude with a convivial dinner, enhanced by the comforting warmth of a campfire.
Day 3: Wellness and relaxation

In the afternoon, a unique experience awaits you in the natural basin of the Cajuache River. Fed by the pure waters of the waterfall, these waters are home to the rare and endangered Marvelous Spatuletail hummingbird. Before diving into these rejuvenating waters, you’ll participate in a cocoa shell body scrub, followed by a ritual centered around hot cocoa. You will then be invited to observe the graceful hummingbird from a viewing cabin.
