10 Day 'Body Renewal' Detox & Wellness Retreat, Peru
High in the Andes, this ten-day retreat pairs a carefully paced fasting experience with yoga, meditation, nature, and traditions rooted in the surrounding region. Rather than moving immediately into a juice fast, the program follows a gradual nutritional progression. The first three days feature lighter meals and soups, followed by three days of juice fasting and four days of gradually returning to full meals. Locally sourced foods, cold-pressed juices, probiotic foods and drinks, and a daily regimen that includes bentonite and psyllium shakes form part of the retreat’s structured approach. Personalization is central to the experience. A naturopathic consultation informs aspects of the program, including natural preparations, while yoga, meditation, guided journaling, and one-on-one support create space for both physical routines and personal reflection. Although the organizer describes the retreat as removing toxins and addressing the root causes of “dis-ease,” these should be understood as its holistic wellness philosophy rather than guaranteed medical outcomes. The surrounding landscape becomes part of the retreat as well. Guided nature hikes and an excursion to local mineral hot springs bring guests beyond the property, while daily infrared sauna and cold-shower sessions and an included massage provide opportunities for relaxation and sensory contrast. The experience also incorporates Andean spiritual traditions, including a gratitude ceremony led by a Q’ero *Paqo*, a practitioner within the spiritual traditions of the Q’ero people. These elements are best approached as opportunities for respectful cultural and spiritual engagement rather than as treatments with established medical effects. With nine nights of accommodation, transportation throughout the retreat, airport transfers, laundry, personal-care products, and pre- and post-retreat support included, much of the practical side of the experience is handled for you. The result is an immersive program where the focus can remain on the daily rhythm of nourishment, fasting, movement, contemplation, and time in nature. This is a more intensive wellness experience, particularly during the three-day juice fast and with the inclusion of supplements and naturopathic preparations. Prospective guests should understand the nutritional protocol and ingredients involved and consider whether the program is appropriate for their individual circumstances before participating. **Best suited for:** Experienced wellness travelers and spiritually curious guests seeking an immersive Andean retreat that combines a structured three-day juice fast with yoga, meditation, journaling, naturopathic wellness practices, sauna and cold exposure, nature, hot springs, massage, and respectful engagement with local spiritual traditions.
