Alquimia Real

This was an incredibly healing and profound experience for myself. Alay and Juan were incredible guides who made me feel extremely comfortable and welcomed. They explained every piece of the retreat and were very supportive. I highly recommend working with them if you are looking for a transformative and grounding experience.

It is impossible to put into words what I feel about this retreat but I’ll try anyway. It has been one of the most profound experiences and so intense that I cannot yet grasp what it actually means for my life. We felt so much hold by Alay and Juan and had immediately total trust in them. For good reason: They traveled through the world to study both ancient and modern spirituality and combined it with modern understanding of psychology. The result is a grounded wisdom that resonated 100% with us. Their wisdom feels much more mature than their age would imply. The private retreat setting is how they found out to be the most beneficial and I must agree. This level of personal care if have never experienced in another retreat. The whole schedule was perfectly crafted and the ceremonial hike was truly a once in a lifetime experience. Not only the inner journey but also the magnificent nature in the Andeas and hidden Inca ruins was magical. I cannot think of a better location for this type of ceremony. Alay and Juan made sure that they respect ancient traditions which made us feel even more connected with nature, the land and the people. Not to mention they’re beautiful singing and music. Staying with them in their home lead to the feeling of being at home. After the retreat we felt as light as a feather and at peace! I truly hope to come back one day, reconnect, understand more and dive deeper.

This retreat was far beyond my expectations and truly a sacred container for deep personal work. I booked the two-person private option with a friend, and we both gained so much more than we anticipated. It is a genuine oasis from the noise and distractions of the modern world.

The experience is masterfully woven together, combining the gentle flow of yoga and meditation with powerful sound vibrational therapy and profound ceremonies. This is more than just a wellness trip; it is a deep cultural and spiritual immersion, rooted in the ancestral knowledge that the retreat promises.

Allay and Juan are simply exceptional. They are incredibly kind, communicative, and gifted guides who created a space of safety and trust, allowing us to delve into deep personal thoughts and set clear intentions. Learning about the indigenous worldview and connecting with the ancestral energies at the ancient temples, like the profound hike to the sacred mountain, was life-changing.

My friend and I still greatly miss the peaceful days we spent here. If you are seeking a deeply meaningful, heart-centered, and transformative experience, look no further. Highly, highly recommended!

Es war ein einzigartiges Erlebnis, das ich nie vergessen werde. Alay und Juan haben diese 4 Tage mit so viel Liebe und Hingabe gefüllt und es ist schwer dies in Worte zu fassen. Am besten erlebt man das selbst auf seine eigene Art und lässt sich von der Magie verzaubern. Vielen, vielen Dank. Dieses Retreat mit Alay und Juan hat für immer einen Platz in meinem Herzen ❤️ und ich hoffe eines Tages wiederkommen zu können.

Everything was exactly what I wanted and exceeded my expectations.

Travel Experience - Amazing, Alay and Juan were able to organise transport for me as I was in Ollantaytumbo. No hassle and communication was always on point and clear.

The Accommodation Facility's - Amazing, Calca is a beautiful spot. Felt very comfortable and like a second home. Very scenic place.

The Food Quality - Delicious, Juan and Alay prepare delicious vegetarian meals. Yummy fruits for breakfast and delicious warm meals for linch and dinner.

The Location - Perfect, didnt need to leave at all unless it was part of an excursion.

Value for Money - Perfect, definitely worth it and recommend anyone wanting to have a great individual experience

Overall - Juan and Alay are amazing artists. I felt so privileged being at the retreat. Amazing sound bath, really took me away. The Ayurvedic massage was perfect, such a nice way to zone out. The herbal bath and ceremonies are beautiful. Really taught me the grace in being grateful. The yoga was beautiful in the mornings, I haven't being having a regular practice and this was the boost I needed. I reconnected to myself, leant to bring more gratefulness in my life, experience some of the most beautiful singing by Alay and Juan being incredible being able to play every instrument with passion. Just wow, 100% worth it and will look at doing their larger retreat if I get the chance. Big love for sure ✨

I couldn't have asked for anything more for this retreat - truly the best retreat I have ever done. Allay and Juan were incredible. So kind, knowledgeable, open and genuine and they really know their crafts. I leave feeling energized, loved, and inspired.

If you're looking to recharge, appreciate and learn the Incan / Andean traditions, work on yourself, and have an amazing experience while doing it all - highly recommend this experience (+ Yoga, massage, incredible - body-loving food, and amazing people)

THANK YOU SO MUCH Juan y Allay!

The experience of this retreat was deeply special to me, thanks to the natural and serene environment in which it took place, and especially due to the positive energy and total commitment of Alay and Juan. They complement each other perfectly, making you feel completely at ease and adjusting to the individual needs of each participant. They share their wisdom genuinely to help you connect with yourself, find your life’s purpose, and recognize the fears and limitations that hold you back. From the first contact, the dialogue was sincere and transparent, setting clear and realistic expectations. The yoga sessions, ancestral ceremonies, rituals, massage therapies, and especially the sound healing therapy, are deeply comforting, and each one contributes to a more positive vision of oneself and the universe. This retreat offers the opportunity to meditate and feel immense gratitude for life and everything we receive, often without even noticing.

Such a beautiful calm oasis, a perfect spot in nature to turn your focus inwards and continue your inner journey ✨ safely guided and supported by two lovely genuine souls with a range of tools at their disposal - music, food, song, the use of herbs, yoga and much more! Truly recommended!

I learned a lot from Alay and Juan. The experience had given me more wisdom towards my journey, my true self. Alay’s intentionality in everything she does is something you can feel. This is a deep and intimate experience with myself. The place feels so light and you can be connected with anything and everything. I would love to do it again.

A beautifully held few days , which started from clear communication before where I shared my intention/what I wanted to work on. This was woven into the retreat in the form of mentor chats , curated yoga sequences and mantra, as well as advice from experienced practitioners. The space is tranquil , and the layout of the retreat offers enough space for integration and having your own time for processing.

The yoga in the morning was fluid and energising, the massage and foot bath were nourishing for the soul , the food prepared with love , the introduction to new shamanic rituals was well explained and I felt super comfortable. The main ceremony and sound healing was for me transformational. Both hosts are super intuitive and offer great wisdom and respect and respond to your energy and what you need mentally and physically, I wholeheartedly recommend this retreat back to self. X

I hesitated about booking because I was nervous about this being a private retreat in an unfamiliar/off-the-beaten-track place, and I didn't think I could achieve much in 3 days. But I trusted my gut and and I am so thankful that I did. Alay and Juan are the most beautiful, kind and talented couple, who open their home and hearts so others can benefit from their wisdom and healing. From the delicious, wholesome meals to the incredible yoga practice and massage, the experience far exceeded my expectations. Most importantly, the ceremonies, which were unbelievably magical and life-changing. Their home, the valley and the temple are truly sacred places where you can feel safe, seen and at peace with the world. I feel blessed that the universe brought me to them. Don't hesitate, you won't regret it 💚

The energy cultivated by these two is beautiful, my partner and I went as a couple and felt so safe and welcomed. The house is so isolated and tranquil, allowing you to really escape reality and look into yourself for a few days. The unique combination of yoga, meditation, sound healing, mushroom ceremony and more cultivated such a special experience each with a different lesson, connecting me to the people and nature I was surrounded by. I felt safe, listened to, nurtured and loved. These two have such a special bond which spreads their love to all they welcome into their home. 💛💛

I love everything, entire experience left me with huge admiration for the way Alay and Juan are serving. They hold space in such beautifull and at the same time humble way that it is just breathtaking. Honestly, I didnt expect I will receive so much - amazing yoga Kundalini and Vinyasa practices, massage, sound healing so wonderfull, connected and sacred medicine cermony, temple offering and wholehearted integration cacao ceremony. Food prepered with love and gratitiude to the Mother Earth and all hands that made a it's way to our plates. I am still under this sacred energy of this space and its guardians - Alay and Juan. I am so thankfull, so blessed with these time together.
