Details

There is a clarity that comes with altitude. Breath slows. Attention sharpens. What feels urgent at sea level begins to reorganize itself. The 7-Day Sacred Valley Edition of the Reverse Aging Challenge is an intentional immersion in the Peruvian Andes, near Cusco. It is designed to recalibrate the nervous system, rebuild sustainable energy, and translate insight into structure you can carry home. This is not a spiritual escape and not a high-intensity performance camp. It is a carefully paced week built around adaptation. Each day follows a deliberate rhythm: Guided breath training to regulate stress and restore respiratory efficiency Gentle heat and cold exposure to build resilience without overwhelm Zone-2 movement and mobility for aerobic capacity and joint integrity Practical nutrition and food timing principles (no restriction, no dogma) Structured reflection and coaching to anchor long-term change Altitude is used intentionally. The environment slows the system just enough to allow deeper physiological reset. The group is limited to 16 participants to preserve safety, depth, and individual attention. All sessions are delivered in English. You will leave with a personalized 90-day integration plan and follow-up support to ensure the experience translates into lived change. If you are ready for a deliberate reset shaped by altitude and time, the 7-day format offers the most complete container.

Location

Huayllabamba, Peru

Huayllabamba is a small village in the Sacred Valley of the Incas in Peru, situated along the Urubamba River. It's often a stop for trekkers embarking on the Inca Trail that leads to the ancient city of Machu Picchu. Known for its agricultural terraces and traditional Andean way of life, Huayllabamba is surrounded by the breathtaking Andes mountains and is rich in cultural history. The village provides a glimpse into rural Peruvian life, where local farmers grow crops such as maize and potatoes using time-honored methods. Huayllabamba serves as a quiet, authentic backdrop for visitors looking to engage with the indigenous Quechua community and experience the peaceful beauty of the Peruvian highlands.

Schedule

Each day blends science-guided practice with time to adapt, integrate, and rest. The pace is deliberate and coached. Altitude is respected; everything can be adjusted to your capacity. Sample day: - Sunrise Arrival: Quiet walk, nasal-breathing warm-up, gentle acclimatization and intention setting - Morning Activation: Guided breath (downshift + CO₂ tolerance), mobility and zone-2 movement -Recovery Block: Coached heat or cold exposure with safe dosing and structured re-warm - Midday Meal: Chef-prepared local meals designed for metabolic steadiness - Rest + Integration: Journaling, nature time, optional 1:1 coaching - Afternoon Session: Education block (stress physiology, adaptation, or behavior design) - Evening Downshift: Breath, light mobility, reflection, and quiet hours The structure remains consistent across the week, with intensity and volume adapted gradually to support physiological reset and sustainable energy.
