Psychonauta is a word play, based on proximity of our home base to town called Nauta. Word “nauta” itself is rooted in Latin and means navigator. So “psychonauta” is voyager into infinite depths of own soul, that mystics of humankind recognize as reflection of universe. They have known a great many of techniques and tools for undertaking this journey. In our case we are drawing from indigenous traditions of use of master plants. Teachers and healers from wider circle of life than our limited human world. We are based in Amazon, so our work is based on use of local plants, including most famous of them, ayahuasca.
We realize our dream, living and working in the deep Amazon forest, near plants, close to nature, close to the local healers' community. We deeply believe in the power of medicine. We came to this piece of land in 2015, and have since then grown slowly, in a organic way, building houses and infrastructure trying to limit interference with the forest we found at the beginning. We designed the whole settlement with the idea of deep work with plants during diets in the Shipibo tradition.

Dieta is designed according to Amazonian tradition, and we rotate between what is allowed, however all food during main part of the diet is bland, without salt, spices, oil, sugars etc.
Our center is located in Peru, near Nauta, on a 24 hectare plot of wild Amazonian forest, 2 kilometers away from the Maranon River. It is best to fly to Iquitos in the Loreto region and then continue by car, taxi or public transport on route number 103. From Nauta you can reach the resort on foot in about 20 minutes. Usually we pick up our clients from the airport or main square in Iquitos and provide a private transfer to our resort. So you do not have to worry about how to reach us, our staff will pick you up from a previously agreed, easy to find place.

Mindblowing
The experience I had at Psychonauta was one of the most important of my life. The setting is perfect. I felt extremely comfortable in the house and with the team. Tata Mundo and Pawel are wonderful hosts. What I experienced during the ceremonies was beyond anything I could have imagined. The shamans worked their magic. I will definitely be back, and I am simply grateful.

Fantastic experience with Psychonauta Foundation!
Z całego serca serdecznie wszystkim polecam ośrodek Psychonauta! Mieści się on w dżungli amazońskiej z daleka od cywilizacji, co w połączeniu z naturalnymi materiałami, z których jest stworzony tworzy piękną niepowtarzalną całość. Gościna, opieka, posiłki i bezpieczeństwo jest na najwyższym poziomie przez co mogliśmy się czuć bardzo swobodnie.
Nie mam wielkiego porównania z innymi ośrodkami, ale zaryzykuję stwierdzenie, że ciężko o lepsze miejsce na takie doswiadczenie :)

This is the real deal!
I went to Psychonauta Foundation for a 10 day Ayahuasca & Masterplant Dieta.
It has been a most incredible experience. Hard for me because I was pretty deep in a hole when I decided to undergo this treatment. But the facilitators are always there to help and support in any way. They are so humble and kind and have alot of knowledge and experience. They truly care.
The shamans Miquel and Virginia are so powerful and yet so sweet and humble. I feel lucky I received my treatment from them. If I ever need another retreat it will be here with them.
Lastly, I stayed in the Otorogo hut. Walking in my jaw dropped. Overlooking a small jungle valley, the whole front of the hut is screens, No windows at all. Whether you are lying in bed, in the tub or in the hammock you can litterally feel the light jungle breeze coming from that amazing view.
All in all I recomennd Psychonauta Foundation with all my heart!
