About us

Welcome friend, my name’s Roberto Laurens, and I’m the Founder, Program Director, and Spiritual Advisor here at Pacha Munay Wellness.

Having been born in Colombia, South America has always had a special place in my heart. And though I did spend part of my youth living in the United States, and see myself as multi-cultural and a citizen of the world, I was called to return south in my early 20s but specifically, to Peru. Since then I’ve lived here on and off, and I’ve not only had the opportunity to personally experience the powerful transmission of the land and people, but I’ve been blessed to be able to facilitate retreats and witness the healing and transformation that my guests have received simply by being here.

Like all of us, my life has had its share of trials and difficulties — from health scares, to trauma, confusion, and on — and it’s been through enduring those challenging encounters that I’ve awakened to the truth of my being and found purpose and gratitude for it all.

Encouraged by both my own natural curiosity, as well as suffering the pain of physical and emotional illness, I dedicated much of my young adult life to exploring consciousness, self-realization, and healing on all levels. It’s from my personal lived experience, as well as that of my team of heart-centered staff, that we offer our unique curation of programs and retreats here in the Sacred Valley.

What I’ve been inspired to create here at Pacha Munay isn’t your typical cleanse retreat.

Yes, gentle cleansing is part of our program however it’s not the whole picture. During our quality time together, you’ll be invited to truly rest and turn your attention inward through meditation, yoga, self-inquiry practices, and 1:1 support sessions so that you can better understand your current situation and find peace, acceptance, and how to best move forward.

It’s through developing your level of conscious awareness that you’re able to discover the clarity you seek about the things that are most important to you, and find the courage and resolve to create positive, lasting shifts in your life.

Our deepest aspiration is for all beings to have the opportunity to heal trauma, forgive, and live joyful lives in service to humanity and Mother Earth.

If what we share feels nourishing to your soul, and there’s a ripeness in you to venture in exploration of who you truly are while being held by the awe-inspiring energy of the Peruvian Andes, then it would be our greatest pleasure to invite you to come to rest — and awaken — with us.

We understand that organizing all the details of international travel can feel daunting, so know that our door is always open for questions and we’re eager to help lighten your load and accommodate in any way we can.

With love,

Roberto Laurens

Leticia Huanca Guevara

Naturopath

Leticia grew up traversing the Andes mountains and learning about Inkan plants from the matriarchs of her family, her mom and abuela. She pursued higher education in nursing and became a certified nurse in her 20's so she could have an understanding of occidental medicine.

Leticia now bridges the best of both worlds dedicating herself to providing health care for her community through traditional medicines, plant walks, herbal therapies, and medicine making.

She is the Co-Founder and lead herbalist at Hampi Mama Botanical Sanctuary. Her dream is to establish additional medicinal sanctuaries in both highland communities and the cloud forest to preserve the full breadth of Andean plant knowledge and habitats.
