Located in the community of Huarán, and surrounded by 360° of breathtaking panoramic mountain views.
El Verde (formerly known as The Green House) is a boutique group retreat space located just over one hour from Cusco. The property is centrally located to everything you could want to do or see within the Sacred Valley; ruins, pueblos, mercados, and other places of interest, touristic and off the beaten path. Nestled between Rio Charan and one of the most sacred of the Peruvian Andean mountains, Pitusiray, the feminine Apu.
Lovingly tended, abundant gardens cover the property, providing nooks for you to lounge, read, or enjoy time or ceremony with your group. Part of the original Inca trail is literally just outside our front door and continues along the river alongside the property all the way up to the high Andean community of Cancha Cancha. A less ambitious trek takes you up to the waterfall of Arin, and the breathtaking views along the canal above. Or if you prefer to stay on site with your group, we have a fully-stocked yoga/movement space and meditation room for you to use and enjoy.
Everything about the space has been designed consciously, utilizing natural materials while also being as gentle on the land as possible….adobe walls, local stone, mud, natural paint dyes, eucalyptus wood, native trees and plants, rainwater collection, and solar thermal tubes to heat the water - all reminding us of our inherent connection with nature.
We are deeply committed to demonstrating how you don’t have to sacrifice comfort for the sake of sustainability.

El Verde was intentionally designed to accommodate groups of 6-8 people (plus space for a retreat host.)
Void: Prior to taking over the property, we use to lead retreats around the world. We discovered that while there are some absolutely incredible retreat centers out there, there are not many options specifically designed for small groups.
Impact: We believe that small group retreats allow deeper connections amongst the participants, deeper work, and a sense of truly being seen.

El Verde donates 1% of all revenue to Valle Sagrado Verde’s efforts to reforest the Sacred Valley through both planting of native trees and empowering local communities through education and wildfire prevention. It is a small act, that has a big impact. Stay with us and help the Sacred Valley return to its lush state.
