Itinerary
The activity consists of doing banya in the open air. Enter the sauna in a bathing suit or light clothing and with a cap on your head to prevent your body from overheating. Stay in the sauna between 5 to 10 minutes. Then, go outside and take a cold shower to even out your body heat and cool off. This dynamic is repeated as many times as you think or feel is necessary for your body. The idea is that you enjoy the experience and your body feels completely relaxed. After the second entry, the brush or corsage called Venik is used to lightly whip the body and help blood circulation.
The program includes an interpretive walk of the natural environment led by a mountain guide who will accompany you at all times. We have several selected sites to develop the activity and the best of all is that they are very close to the Sacred Valley, specifically, in the Urubamba Mountain Range. The walks on average are 3 to 4 hours in total with little physical demand and with landscapes that you will love, our locations are designed for you to enjoy a beautiful natural setting and live a unique experience in the Andes.

I went there as a girl group of 4. we had the most amazing time there! Ramon makes it a very special experience. From the food to the tents everything was very comfortable.
The hike was managable. When you arrive to the camp side you are blown away by the beauty of the surroundings.
During the hike Ramon picked up the Eucalyptus for the saune from amlocal farmer, which is amazing! After the hike, Ramon put up the Sauna and that was exactly what we needed. It was such a special experience to sauna in the nature! To cool down we jumped into the river right next to our tents! Really refreshing!
It is also the way possible to watch the nightsky! All in all it was a beautiful experience and I would recommend everybody to take the chance!

I had my best first time sauna experience up in the mountains with the best guide, who cooked delicious meals for us and prepared everything we needed.
Very magical place right above the waterfall and an unforgettable camp under a nice starry sky. Don’t miss!!

Experiencing a sauna in the Andes was truly special. It allowed me to feel the cold mountain air in a completely different way. If you want to truly experience the Andes, rather than just visiting the mountains, this is the best choice. It was a really amazing time for us.

The day began with a warm greeting from Jose to meet up. The transportation arrived promptly and we began up the mountain to the trailhead.
Jose made sure we had all of the necessities before leaving, so I felt safe. The hike was challenging but so rewarding. As we approached the final destination, high above Urubamba at the feet of Apu Chicon, Jose and his crew coached me onward.
We arrived at the campsite and the real magic began. The team assembled the sauna and tents in short order, and before I knew it, I was feeling cozy in one of the most roughest places I have ever set foot.
We ate lunch beside the hot stove, and I snuck in a siesta before the sauna ceremony. We suited up and began the sweat, getting a proper of dose of the medicinal vapors which were infused with eucalyptus and rosemary. Simply divine.
I got hot so I jumped in the lake, Juchuycocha. The icy, crystalline waters were a nice refresher before another round of heat.
By dinner time I was feeling super cozy. We ate a dinner cooked at the hearth, shared some stories, and were off to bed. I slept like a baby.
All I can say is that the whole trip was surreal. I would recommend this to anyone who likes hiking, sauna, and the great outdoors.

Me and my friends enjoyed and loved this experience. This is for sure something that you should do. You return home feeling completely new, also the Jazonaxtour team teach you about the place you’re situated and that’s amazing.

A truly amazing experience! The combination of a beautiful hike in a stunningly beautiful valley with the sauna was something new. The hike wasn’t super hard, but hard enough that the relaxing effect of the sauna was just what I needed.excellent food and a really nice guide. José knows a lot about the mountains, and treats you as a real friend

My favorite part of the experience was the Sauna. Imagine yourself tired after a long hike in the cold Andean mountain. And when you make it to the top. It is a Hot sauna with purifying herbals and great food waiting for you. I feel at home with the food, the sauna, and the company. Jazonasxtour when above and beyond to keep me safe and impressed by nature. The sauna in July was my second tour, and I will recommend their tours highly
