According to the Shipibo, there is a time-honored tradition of following a special diet to prepare oneself for the healing energies of Ayahuasca. There is a discipline and commitment that is called upon. Lotus Vine Journeys places an enormous emphasis on providing you with a fresh, delicious, nutritional and comforting selection of foods (both raw and cooked) that adheres to this discipline from an exclusively plant-based perspective (with the exception of eggs for breakfast). We have passionately instilled in the cooks at our chosen lodge a great pride in providing you with foods that open the potential of your journey inwards during your Ayahuasca retreat here in Peru.

GETTING TO OUR RETREAT - THE QUICK RUNDOWN!
International flight to Lima, Peru - Flights go through the Capital Lima. You can either stopover or continue straight to Tarapoto. Most of our guests continue the onward journey and come back to Lima on their way home. Either way you will usually have to go through customs and re-check in your bags at the domestic section of the airport.

Lima to Tarapoto - Domestic flights to Tarapoto leave regularly so providing you arrive at Lima during day or early evening getting a good connection should not be a problem. Its a short and reasonably inexpensive flight over the spectacular Andes. In approximately 1 hour of stunning scenery, your landing in Tarapoto.

Tarapoto Airport to Tucan Suites Hotel (meeting lounge) - The Tucan Suites is where we ask you to assemble for your retreat. Its a hotel in downtown Tarapoto and is super easy to get there. When you get of the plane in Tarapoto grab your bag, head out the door and jump into a motortaxi ... give the driver 10 Soles ($3 max) and tell him you want to go to the Tucan Suites Aparthotel (its a little over a 10 minute ride).

Now its time to chill in the lounge, chat with other arriving retreat guests, enjoy a fresh juice or a snack. Its complements of us because from here on we take care of the rest.

Tucan Suites Hotel to PumaRinri Amazon Lodge (retreat location) We have a pickup scheduled for 2:00 pm on the opening day of your retreat.
