Menu Types

At Pisatahua we follow a traditional ayahuasca diet, as practiced by our healers and their ancestors. Our nutritional focus is to facilitate physical and mental detoxification. Our approach also improves the absorption of plant medicines, while limiting difficult experiences and intense purging in ceremony. We recommend guests follow the ayahuasca preparation diet for a minimum of 5 days prior to arrival. Please inform us if you have any food allergies or special dietary restrictions. We can accommodate most any need.

Forever grateful
Well, that was definitely a difficult process, but I got so much out of it.
Being honest I don’t know how I could thanks Wara, the shaman, for the amazing work she did. She is the definition of kindness. She cared about us so well, going way beyond what we all expected of her. She is also a working beast, never stoping, to make sure you get what you truly need. I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to work with such a beautiful soul.
And Marlene, the volunteer assisting Wara during this retreat, was completing her perfectly. Looking out for us at all time. Always so considerate, with compassion and love.
The place is beautiful, the food was great (the strict diet wasn’t a problem for me at all), ceremonies felt safe and well handled, but Wara and Marlene are what made it so special for me. If my journey leads me to the medicina again, I’ll most definitely seek them out.

Indescribable experience
Coming to Pitasahua is one of the best decisions of my life!
I found pieces of myself I didnt even know were missing.
If you've heard Mother Ayahuasca's call, don't doubt any longer and come to this place.
If you are ready to face your fears, this place will help you transcend. My heart forever belongs in this place and with its people. Forever grateful !!!

Never to old to learn
I at 59 was the elder of our small group, the whole experience taught me a lot about myself and the lives we all lead. A fantastic experience for myself and my wife and clearly the group we were with.
It was not always easy but 100% worthwhile.

Many thanks

What an experience
I really have no words to describe my experience - possibly one of the hardest most fulfilling , most rememberable times of my six month holiday. A huge thank you to the staff, Erik, new friends and above all Wara. My heart is full

Wonderful experience!
Pisatahua is a magical place and experience. This is not a vacation; it is an opportunity for sacred ceremonial work. If you want to stay in a hotel with a pool, you can pay 4x as much and hope you have an authentic and positive experience. If you want to experience the transformational healing of master plants with a powerful and generous shaman, have your needs attended to by kind and attentive hosts, and stay in a location and with a lifestyle that honors the medicine and earth… this is the place! I feel so grateful I found Pisatahua!!!

Mission & Vision

We facilitate holistic health & consciousness expansion for those seeking a positive life transformation.

Pisatahua is a sacred space in the Bolivian Amazon to work with plant medicines, including ayahuasca.  Found in the heart of the Aquicuana Reserve, our 80-hectare center is situated in an area of impressive biodiversity. This breathtaking location provides an ideal environment to heal, expand consciousness, and connect with the wonders of the Amazon.

Ayahuasca RetreatsWe organize master plant ceremonies, with ancient medicines including ayahausca, wachuma (san pedro), rape, tobacco and coca. We facilitate shamanic diets to learn and heal with traditional plant medicines in close consultation with our healers. We organize small-group retreats to ensure that each individual receives the personalized attention they require.

Healers & StaffOur healers come from diverse backgrounds of wisdom-traditions from the Bolivian Amazon and Andes. They are responsible and respected community members, dedicated to the shamanic path, with decades of experience. Alongside our support staff, we hold small-group retreats with honor, safety and respect.
