Itinerary

We will pick you up from your hotel and embark on a scenic drive to the Sacred Valley, our retreat location. Upon arrival, take time to explore and familiarize yourself with the surroundings. We’ll then have our first meeting with the Maestros, including the Andean Shaman and Shipibo Master for Ayahuasca. The Ayahuasca retreat continues with a special Coca Leaf reading ceremony, providing insightful self-diagnosis and preparing you for the Ayahuasca ceremony later in the evening. In the afternoon, we’ll engage in a cleansing ceremony, connecting with nature and ourselves. Before the Ayahuasca ceremony, a brief meditation will set the stage. Our Shipibo master will introduce the sacred plant, followed by the Ayahuasca session lasting 4 to 6 hours. After the ceremony, you’ll have time to rest and integrate your experiences.

We’ll start the day with a tasty breakfast full of different fruits. Then, we’ll have interesting conversations with our guide and shaman, and get help understanding the visions we’ve had, making our connection with Ayahuasca stronger. In the afternoon, we’ll explore the beautiful nature around our retreat center to feel more connected to Mother Earth. Before the Ayahuasca ceremony, we’ll calm our minds with a peaceful meditation. As night comes, we’ll gather in the ceremony room for the second Ayahuasca session, continuing the powerful experience from the night before. Our experienced team will be there to guide us through this meaningful healing journey.

We enjoy a delightful breakfast with a variety of fruits. Later, we will have a final meeting with our Ayahuasca Shaman, where we engage in an integration ceremony. We then participate in a heartfelt offering ceremony led by the Q’eros Master to express gratitude to Mother Earth, taking some time to connect before we take our transportation back to Cusco.

FAQ about Ayahuasca Ceremony

Ayahuasca is a traditional Amazonian brew celebrated for its profound healing properties. Crafted from the Psychotria viridis plant and the Banisteriopsis caapi vine, it has been a centerpiece in indigenous rituals for ages. In guided ceremonies, Ayahuasca is believed to open pathways to self-discovery, offering insights and emotional healing. Its growing popularity in organized retreats reflects a quest for personal growth and therapeutic benefits.

Being part of an Ayahuasca ceremony is like taking a special journey within yourself. It’s a time for strong visions and deep thinking, and everyone’s experience is different—some find clarity, others face personal challenges, and many feel a stronger connection to their spirituality.

Your well-being is really important to us, and we have a dedicated medical team to make sure you’re taken care of. The experience gets even more special with the traditional music, icaros, played by Amazonian shamans.

We also include Andean ceremonies like reading coca leaves and expressing gratitude to create a caring and special space for your spiritual journey. Our aim is to help you grow personally and find healing in a supportive and sacred environment.

Yes. Ayahuasca is safe when experienced facilitators, like ours, guide the journey, ensuring it’s secure and transformative. If you have specific health concerns, our detailed medical form helps us customize the experience just for you.

Your well-being is crucial to us, and our on-site medical team is ready to handle any concerns and prioritize your safety during the ceremony. Your safety is not just important; it’s a core part of our promise to make your transformative experience the best it can be.

Absolutely, if you have medical conditions like heart issues or psychiatric disorders, it’s important to be cautious. Some medications might not mix well with Ayahuasca.

Just reach out to us, and we’ll be glad to help, along with our medical team.

It’s really important to be in Cusco at least three days before the retreat begins. This gives your body time to adjust to the high altitude. If you arrive on the day of the retreat, unfortunately, you won’t be able to join the Ayahuasca ceremony. Safety is our top priority, and arriving on the same day as the retreat could increase the risk of altitude sickness, especially when combined with Ayahuasca.

Your well-being is a priority, so it’s a good idea to ensure you’re in good health. We suggest talking to your doctor if you have any concerns about your medical history or conditions. Also, please let us know about any health conditions or medications before you book.

The food guidelines are in place to ensure your body and mind are prepared for the Ayahuasca experience, making it safe and meaningful for you. Two weeks before the retreat, avoid pork, alcohol, cannabis, drugs, and spicy foods. Also, refrain from taking any prescribed medicines or drugs during this time, as Ayahuasca is potent and can interact differently with other substances.

One week before the retreat, it’s recommended to steer clear of red meat, junk food, sweets, soda, dairy, pickled foods, and caffeine. Just before the retreat, eat well without extreme dieting, staying in good shape and feeling good. In the last three days, consider reducing salt, pepper, and oil intake.

Opt for organic food with a touch of salt and sugar, and if you desire meat, choose chicken or fish.

The first Ayahuasca ceremony is scheduled for the evening, so it’s advised to enjoy a light breakfast adhering to the diet restrictions before we pick you up. Stay hydrated throughout the day with water and tea, but it’s advisable to avoid consuming anything else. This preparation ensures you’re well-prepared for a positive and enriching experience!

To enrich your spiritual preparation, we encourage you to set a clear intention. The Ayahuasca ceremony can be intense, and having a specific purpose acts as a guiding force, keeping you connected to your goals. Take time to reflect on why you are drawn to Ayahuasca. What do you hope to learn or understand? Consider your current life situation and challenges. Crafting intentions based on these reflections can add personal depth to your experience.

Nurturing your spirit and mind involves engaging in practices that deepen your connection with your inner self. Participate in mindful activities that promote awareness and presence before the retreat begins.

Additionally, some shamans recommend refraining from sexual activities, including masturbation. This practice is believed to help conserve physical energy, making it easier to navigate the effects of Ayahuasca during the ceremony.

The purge, which may involve vomiting or diarrhea, is seen in some traditions as a purifying process, releasing physical and emotional toxins. It’s regarded as a natural and sometimes necessary part of the Ayahuasca experience.

Ayahuasca is not known to be physically addictive. In fact, many participants report reduced cravings for substances like alcohol or tobacco after an Ayahuasca experience. However, it is crucial to approach it with respect and responsibility.
