Life in Color, curated by Avia Collective, is a series of small-group journeys designed for curious, conscious travelers seeking connection—to culture, community, nature, and themselves. Each experience is rooted in respect for place and people, guided by local hosts, and crafted to invite presence, joy, and perspective. These are not just trips, they’re invitations to slow down, engage deeply, and return home more alive.
Our upcoming journey to Peru’s Sacred Valley brings this vision to life. Centered around the vibrant town of Pisac, we’ll explore ancient Inca sites, share meals with Indigenous communities, learn from local artists and farmers, and gather in ceremony and celebration. With trusted guides Daniel and Yanet leading the way, and the Tranquility Hotel as our home base, this experience blends cultural immersion, natural beauty, and heartfelt connection in one of the most energetically powerful regions of the world.
Come as you are. Leave with new stories, friendships, and a renewed sense of color in your life.
Step into the rich cultural legacy of the Sacred Valley with Life in Color: Peru, a one-of-a-kind journey curated by Avia Collective in partnership with Tranquility Hotel. This immersive 8-day experience blends history, healing, and heart—taking you deep into the lands once walked by the Inca, and into the present-day communities who carry their wisdom forward.
You’ll explore ancient ruins like Pisac and Machu Picchu, participate in sacred Andean ceremonies, and forge personal connections with Indigenous Quechua communities high in the Andes. Optional plant medicine and creative workshops (like drum-making) offer opportunities for deeper reflection, while warm hospitality and fresh local meals ground you in comfort.
Each day offers a balance of guided cultural exploration, spaciousness to reflect, and joyful moments shared with a small group of like-hearted travelers.
