Global Gather: Peru
Make Cusco Your Home Base in May, 2024!
Join Our Coliving Community and Explore Peru's Wonders!
Our Global Gather: Peru Coliving Community is an ideal home base for exploration, cultural immersion, and unforgettable experiences.
Be a part of our Community: You belong if you’re new to travel or if you have been around the globe a few times. If you solo travel or journey with friends, or are a worldschooling family— you’re in. If you’re anywhere on an age spectrum, you belong here.
Let’s co-create a heart-centered, inclusive, high-vibe community.
You belong here.
Location
We’re in one of the strongest energetic regions on earth, surrounded by quiet yet powerful ruins and temples, hidden waterfalls, mountain views, and fragrant eucalyptus trees.
We’re just a 20-minute walk from the historic city center of Cusco and even less to public transportation to use for casual explorations.
You belong here.
Optional Offerings
Without leaving our Global Gather home community, we’ll have an ala-carte menu of activities you can choose to join like cacao ceremonies, sacred circles, ceremonies with Q’ero shaman, talks by local archeologists, family & business constellation workshops, breathwork & sound bath immersion, and more.
Our coliving community is the perfect blend of independence, camaraderie, and shared experiences. We’re creating the sweet spot we’ve been craving when we travel.
Let’s create the best connections & memories together.
Is this a good fit for you?
We cherish a travel style that lets us soak up the local vibe, delve into native traditions, and whip up delicious meals with fresh market finds. Picture us sharing recipes discovered at the local market or uncovering hidden gems only known to the locals. Whether navigating public transportation or hopping into a late-night taxi, we roll with it. While we're all in for guided tours to marvel at wonders like Machu Picchu and Rainbow Mountain, we're equally at ease charting our own course, venturing off solo or with newfound friends

The retreat center and yoga shala were architecturally designed and completed in 2019. It was designed to highlight mountain views, especially the holy mountain of Ausangate. The structures are consciously rustic, made from local wood and adobe from the earth. It’s purposefully inviting and homey.
-
We don’t, but we do have trusted referrals for you who offer honest pricing and superior service. They can get you to Machu Picchu, Rainbow Mountain, Maras Salt Mines, Chinchero or wherever else you’ve been dreaming about!
-
Curious, open-minded and down for adventure. If you’re into creating a warm, positive community vibe, we’re your people. We’re about independent travel but also love coming together to deepen connections.
-
As an OG worldschooling family, we love and welcome families.
-
Yes! We’re about co-creating space where everyone is respected and valued. Come as you are!
-
Alejandro Velasco Astete International Airport (CUZ) is the closest airport and it takes 20-30 minutes to reach the retreat center from there. Let us know if you would like us to arrange pick up for you and you can directly pay one of our trusted drivers $30-40 SOLES.

-
While we have community spaces, if you need a dedicated work zone, we suggest you book a limited number of the private rooms.
-
We have a fully equipped vegetarian kitchen with 2 stoves with ovens, pots, pans, and local spices. Since our chef will be preparing breakfast and lunch 6 days/week, we ask that you defer to them while they are preparing meals and cooking.

In the southern hemisphere, May is considered a Fall season and days tend to be dry and sunny. The high temperature is about 67F during the day and the low is about 35F at night.
-
Cusco is located in the Andes Mountains. We suggest dressing in layers as the day time sun is gloriously warm and nights can feel quite chilly. To be plenty warm, we suggest you bring warm clothes-better to peel off a layer rather than to feel cold. Consider: thermal leggings & shirt, warm sweater, warm socks, down jacket, hat, scarf, & gloves in addition to lighter-weight layering pieces.
-
We’re located about 8900 feet (2720 meters) above sea level. Everyone adjusts differently to altitude, but taking Liquid Chlorophyll for 2 weeks prior to arrival is believed to help minimize malaise. Additionally, minimizing alcohol consumption a week prior to arrival may be a help.
If Machu Picchu is in your plans, we recommend going there first because the elevation is lower, offering a gradual acclimatization period. You can use our trusted tour agency to book that trip! -
While you’re free to make your own choices, we encourage you to feel present, sans alcohol, with the high vibes in and around the retreat center. It’s powerful.
-
One of our a-la carte offerings is Cacao Ceremonies. If you’re part of our community, we can make referrals to reputable, off-site plant medicine ceremonies.
-
We love animals, but can’t accommodate them.
-
There’s really no need to rent a car. We have trusted drivers we can recommend or use public transportation.

We do not have gym, but do have a beautiful yoga shala. There are gyms in central Cusco.
