Amayas Ecuador offers ayahuasca retreats in the Ecuadorian Amazon, guided by Indigenous Kichwa shaman Don Luis Andi, who has around 60 years of experience. Depending on the program, guests can enjoy activities such as rafting on the river, visiting the local Grand Canyon, and meeting an Indigenous Kichwa community. We keep our groups small, with a maximum of seven to eight guests, so we can offer each person individual attention, preparation, support during the ceremonies, and time for integration. Our intention is to honor local traditions and create a meaningful, respectful experience.
Our retreat center is in Cotundo, Napo, Ecuador, on the edge of the Amazon rainforest beside the Misahuallí River. Set on five private hectares surrounded by rivers, it offers a peaceful natural setting just 30 minutes from the nearest town. Guests can enjoy two private river beaches, including a secluded canyon beach reached by a 15-minute walk through the jungle. The center features a spacious traditional maloka, a kitchen and dining area, and hammocks for relaxing.
