Inca
Massage

Duration: 90 min approximately

Inca Massage in Cusco is a deeply ancestral treatment, rooted in the wisdom passed down by our Inca ancestors. This traditional technique combines heated stones, firm pressure, and natural healing elements used for generations by Andean communities to relieve pain, restore energy, and reconnect body and spirit.

Using firm pressure combined with heated stones, our therapist works through deep muscle tension while incorporating traditional remedies that have been part of Andean healing culture for centuries — including coca leaf cream and cannabis cream, both known for their soothing, anti-inflammatory properties.

• Lavender – perfect for deep relaxation and easing anxiety
• Orange – uplifting and energizing, great for lifting your mood
• Rosemary – stimulating and helpful for muscle recovery
