Where do I even begin?
I travelled to Peru solo with the intention of healing through plant medicine and attending the spiritual retreat offered by PUNQU Inner Travel Agency—and it was truly life-changing. From the moment I arrived, Sahra and Valentin made me feel safe, supported, and welcomed with open hearts.
The retreat space itself is beautiful and serene—surrounded by nature and filled with warmth. The meals were delicious, nourishing, and prepared with love. Sahra and Valentin took the time to ensure I was emotionally and mentally ready for each ceremony, guiding me gently through the process with care and compassion. It felt like home.
What stood out most was the intimacy of the retreat. It was just me and one other guest, which allowed for a deeply personal and tailored experience. Unlike other retreats that feel commercialized or overcrowded, this felt sacred and genuine. I never felt rushed or overlooked—only seen, heard, and truly supported on my healing journey.
They are a beautiful family with beautiful hearts, and I will absolutely be back.
As a bonus, Sahra also organized a flawless day trip to Machu Picchu—handling everything from train and entrance tickets to a private driver and guide. It was seamless and unforgettable.
If you are looking for a healing retreat that is authentic, heart-led, and transformative, I highly recommend PUNQU Inner Travel Agency. They made this journey one of the most profound experiences of my life.

Dear Taijah, thank you so much for your words! We are so grateful for your healing and will be waiting for you in the future arms widely open. Much love, Zahra xxx
I had an absolutely amazing experience with Punqu Travel. Valentin and Zahra welcomed us to their home with opened arms and in the short time we were there became family. They under-sell how beautiful their cozy cabins and property in the mountains is.
I did the 5-day ayahausca retreat. It was absolutely life changing. I highly recommend Punqu over the larger commercialized retreats. The private and intimate sessions with maximum 4 people allow you to feel safe and let the guides focus on you and what you need to achieve. If you are considering this but not sure, Punqu is absolutely the agency you want, you will not regret it. Follow the diet and be open to the process. You owe it to yourself.
I also did the Perolniyok waterfall and Naupa Iglesia hike. Highly recommend that as well. Gorgeous views and spending more time with Valantin and Zahra was great! I can't say it enough how amazing my experience was, everyone needs to experience this at least once in their life, and you will be in excellent hands with Punqu!

I have had a beautiful healing transformation, and this could only be possible with Sahra support all the way through.

Testimonial – Ayahuasca Journey with Punquinner Travel
My experience with Ayahuasca plant medicine through Punquinner Travel was nothing short of extraordinary—something beyond what I ever imagined earthly possible. My inner universe—has been regenerated, recharged with a renewed spiritual energy now guiding me forward.
Punquinner Travel provided a safe, sacred space where I felt truly held. I was able to open up without fear of judgment, exploring deeply rooted emotional and physical pain, past tragedies, and the challenges that had shaped me. In this space, I received not only understanding and care, but genuine friendship, compassion, and a sense of unwavering support. What I experienced was a profound inner transformation—a self I thought was lost forever.
I came to Peru from across the world, searching for a light in the darkness. I am endlessly grateful to have found it in the Sacred valley. The awesome facilitators walk in deep alignment with ancient wisdom and the divine energies of the Andes Mountains.
On my very first night, as I sat in the dark surrounded by my fears & my fears of the unknown, a beam of light from the full moon poured through a small window of the Maloka, illuminating a bouquet of beautiful flowers at the dead center of the room. It was a moment of sacred beauty that touched my soul and marked the beginning of my healing.
I hadn’t recognised the toxic energy’s that were leading my life until I was confronted with them. And while this healing journey was far from easy—at times, it was incredibly challenging & brutal for me, it was exactly what I needed.
I had never worked with Ayahuasca before, but I reached a point in life where I knew I had to surrender fully to the source. I had run out of options, and I chose to trust the journey, the medicine, the process, and the people guiding me.
Now, I walk forward with a heart full of gratitude, a spirit lifted, and a renewed sense of peace and purpose. I wish this healing and happiness for all who seek it.
Thankyou Zahra, Valentin & Shaman Jo-el

Amazing Time Aways
This was my second time traveling with PUNQU Inner Travel, and once again, they exceeded all expectations. I always feel incredibly safe, supported, and genuinely loved. This time, I experienced six powerful ceremonies, visited Rainbow Mountain, and explored the breathtaking Machu Picchu every detail was beautifully organized for me. The food was absolutely delicious, and I felt nourished in every way. I have so much love and gratitude for Zahra and her wonderful family. I will definitely be returning again in the future.

My experience at Punqu was beyond amazing and life changing! I'm so grateful that I found them! There is no best place if you want to do ceremonies with a team of professionals! Security is very important for them and they are always attentive to your needs! The place in nature is simply amazing and peaceful! Sarah, Joel and Valentin are just amazing!
I will definitely come back!

My experience at PUNQU was deeply transformative. I had never done a retreat like this before and I felt completely held, safe, and supported throughout the entire process. Zahra and her team create an environment of honesty, emotional depth, and true spiritual care. This is not a commercial place. It is a healing sanctuary.
The ceremonies were powerful. But it was the space between them, the integration, the conversations, and the connection to nature that helped me make sense of everything. Everything together brought clarity, softness, and the courage to face what I had been carrying for years.
If you are looking for real healing, something deep, private, and heart-centered, I cannot recommend PUNQU enough.

Hi Ruben, thank you so much for your heartfelt words! We are so grateful for your healing and transformation. Sending you courage, strength and much love onto the next steps of your life. xxx
My friend invited me to Peru, Cusco, for an Ayahuasca retreat, and it turned out to be an unforgettable experience. Zahra and Valentin are truly exceptional people who put their hearts into their work, and that’s what made this journey so special. I participated in three nights of Ayahuasca ceremonies and one San Pedro ceremony, and honestly, I’m still at a loss for words. The ceremonies were powerful, the environment felt incredibly safe, and everything flowed so smoothly—I felt like I was reborn. The food was delicious and nourishing, the people were warm and welcoming, and the overall energy was nothing short of positive. I’m already excited to return next year. I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to deeply connect with their journey in Peru, Cusco!

It was my first time away in 40 years and a solo trip. I arrived in February wasn’t busy. Weather was good and was rained on twice. Probable thank global warming for that. But I was prepared. Everything was extremely set up to cause no stress. I went for a purpose and got a lot out of it. The experience in temple make me see my false limits and it’s helped, a lot. Miss their hikes and learning. It was a gift. Gotta wanta trust. The family setting was wonderful

If I could give this place 100 stars, I would.
Words almost fail to describe how profoundly transformative my ayahuasca experience was at this center. From the moment I arrived, I felt enveloped in a space of deep respect, wisdom, and love. This wasn’t just a ceremony—it was a rebirth.
The team who held space for this journey—Sahra, Valentin, Joel, and Bebe—are nothing short of divine. Each one of them brought something sacred to the experience. Sahra embodies feminine softness and healing energy; simply being in her presence felt like therapy. Joel radiates silent wisdom—he doesn’t need to speak much to teach you everything. His grounded, professional, and quietly joyful nature was a guiding light through the process. Valentin, with his bright spirit and deep pride in his heritage, shared the rich history of Cusco in a way that made me feel deeply connected to the land and its ancestral wisdom. And Bebe—gentle, present, and nurturing with a beautiful smile was the light of the place .
The center itself is humble yet perfect. There's a quiet magic to its simplicity. Everything you need for peace is there—nothing more, nothing less. I felt completely safe and cared for, not just during the ceremonies but throughout each day. They are incredibly attentive, always checking in, holding space for your emotions, your insights, and your transformation.
The ceremonies were powerful beyond anything I imagined. I felt held in a container of pure intention, surrounded by souls who were there to support, not guide or push, but simply be with you. That alone is healing.
And let me not forget the food—clean, nourishing, and prepared with love. You can taste the intention in every bite.
This experience changed my life. It unraveled layers I didn’t even know I had and showed me a version of myself I had forgotten was there . I came looking for purpose and acceptance with my body figure I came seeking healing; I left with a new way of living.

I been to punqu retreat twice and the experience is definitely out of this world. My first time there I did my ayahuasca and San Pedro ceremony and Valentino, Sahra and Jonas were so supportive the entire time. A death and rebirth experience took place in the sacred valley. The second time I went for a spiritual retreat with my partner. If you’re looking for a spiritual retreat, an agency to book tours in Peru this is the right place. No stress, and everything is booked and done for you. I will definitely be going back in a future for another ayahuasca experience.
