Overview
If this is your first massage since arriving in Cusco, this is usually the right place to start. The Gentle Relaxing Massage uses light, steady pressure and slow, continuous strokes — no deep muscle work, no pressure points that leave you sore the next day. It’s built to calm the nervous system after a long flight, a full day of altitude adjustment, or simply the sensory overload of a new city. Many travelers book this one on their first evening in Cusco, before starting any trekking, precisely because it eases you in rather than working you over.
What's Included in Your Session
- Organic creams and oils. We use locally sourced, natural oils rather than synthetic lotions — gentler on skin that’s often drier than usual at this altitude.
- A closing foot-focused segment using pressure points, which helps ground the relaxation before you leave.
Pricing
- 1:30 Hour - 30.00 USD
- 1:00 Hour - 20.00 USD
- 30 Min - 12.00 USD
Benefits for Travelers in Cusco
- Eases the first-day tension that comes from altitude adjustment, without the intensity of a deep tissue session.
- Slows a nervous system that’s been running on travel adrenaline — long flights, new time zones, unfamiliar surroundings.
- Improves sleep quality on your first nights in the city, when altitude alone can already make rest difficult.
- Works as a gentle warm-up before a more intense treatment later in your trip, if you’re planning to combine services.
Is This Massage Right for You?
Choose the Gentle Relaxing Massage if you want to unwind without deep pressure — it’s the softest option on our menu. If you’re already sore from a multi-day trek and need real muscle release, our Kantu Massage (Deep Tissue) or the Inca Massage will do more work on tight areas. If you specifically want warmth for cold Cusco evenings, the Hot Stone Massage adds that layer. This one is the calm, no-pressure starting point.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Gentle Relaxing Massage?
It’s a full-body massage using light, even pressure and slow, rhythmic movements, designed to reduce stress and calm the nervous system rather than target deep muscle tension.
Is this a good first massage in Cusco?
Yes — because it doesn’t use deep pressure, it’s a comfortable way to try a massage in Cusco for the first time, or to relax before starting any physically demanding activity like trekking.
Will this help with altitude fatigue?
It helps with the general fatigue and tension that come with arriving at altitude, though if soroche (altitude sickness) symptoms are more specific, our High-Altitude Massage is built around that recovery.
How long should I book?
30 minutes is enough for a quick reset between activities; 60–90 minutes gives the full relaxation effect most travelers are looking for after a long day.
Do I need to book in advance?
It’s recommended, particularly in high season, though same-day appointments are often available — message us on WhatsApp to check.
