Floating in Cusco

Floating in Cusco is a truly unique opportunity to experience deep mental and physical relaxation—especially at high altitude. At ReEnergize Cusco, we are proud to offer one of the most advanced float tanks in the world, allowing you to drift into a meditative state and emerge feeling recharged, restored, and completely at ease.


If you’ve never tried floating before, this post will walk you through what it is, how it works, and what to expect during your session.


🛁

The Float Tank: How It Works


Our float tank is a specially designed sensory isolation pod filled with:


  • Half a tonne (500 kg) of Epsom salt

  • About 25 cm of water, maintained at skin temperature (around 35–36°C)


This creates a solution so buoyant that you float effortlessly, with no pressure on your body. When the light is off and the music is muted, you’ll experience true weightlessness in near-total silence and darkness.


However, you can also personalize your session with:


  • Relaxing music

  • LED lighting or fiber optic starlights for a soft, soothing glow


🌿

The Effects on Body and Mind


Inside the float tank, your body is free from external stimuli—no sound, no gravity, no distractions.


As a result:


  • Your muscular and skeletal systems deeply relax

  • The sympathetic nervous system (fight-or-flight) winds down

  • Your mind enters a state similar to meditation or early sleep stages



This leads to multiple physical and mental benefits:


  • Reduced stress and anxiety

  • Improved sleep quality

  • Faster muscle recovery

  • Enhanced mental clarity and calm



🕒

What to Expect During Your Float Session


You can choose a 60-, 90-, or 120-minute session. Here’s how it works:


  1. Arrival & Introduction – We’ll guide you through how the float tank works and answer any questions you have.

  2. Pre-Float Shower – Cleanse your body using our organic, natural shower products.

  3. Your Float – Step into the tank, close the lid, and begin your journey inward.

  4. Music & Light Control – You control whether the lights or music stay on or off—customize it to your comfort.

  5. Ending the Session – A gentle sound cue will let you know when five minutes remain, helping you transition back mindfully.

  6. Post-Float Refresh – After your float, rinse off and enjoy a refreshing citrus drink in our lounge area.


You’ll leave feeling deeply relaxed, realigned, and mentally refreshed.

Understanding Sensory Deprivation


Float tanks were originally called sensory deprivation tanks because they remove almost all external input from the five senses. Here’s how that works:


❌ No Sight


With the light off, you’ll experience total darkness—like a blank canvas for your mind. You can switch the light back on at any time.


❌ No Sound


Our pod and float suite are sound-insulated for near-complete silence, allowing your brain to quiet down.


❌ No Gravity


Because you float effortlessly, your joints and spine decompress, promoting natural alignment and tension release.


❌ No Sense of Touch


The water and air match your skin temperature, making it feel like your body disappears into the space around you.



✨ Why Float in Cusco?


Whether you’re recovering from a trek, struggling with altitude adjustment, or simply craving peace and stillness, floating in our high-altitude pod offers a unique way to reconnect with yourself.


Just one session can leave you feeling:


  • Calmer

  • Lighter

  • More present

  • And physically restored
