About Psychonauta Foundation

Mission & Vision

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.

Meals

Menu Types

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.

Getting Here

Location icon Psychonauta Foundation, Nauta, Peru

Directions

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.

We found a lot value in the exchange about the ceremonies as a part of the integration process.
Other People who attempted with us could compare the experience with different retreats and they prefer Psychonauta. This speaks for itself.

Greetings to Mundo, Pablo, Yvonne, Vanessa and the entire crew that help to provide an extraordinary experience! Thank You!

Much Love

Profound Experience, Profound Change
I have been to wonderful ayahuasca retreats and ceremonies in the past. What Psychonauta offers, particularly with master plant dieta retreat, is a deeper connection with the medicine and with self. The ceremonies and the iquaros were beautiful and powerful and intense, and the isolation allowed me to receive, understand, process and integrate so much more. As a “foodie” who is a little food-obsessed and strongly connects food with pleasure and enjoyment, the bland sustenance diet was a huge challenge for me (as I knew it would be) but there was opportunity for insight and growth even in that. And I just cannot emphasize enough or fully express the beauty and the power of the ceremonies and Miguel’s and Virginia’s iquaros! Blez and facilitators were available for support, if needed, throughout the retreat, but the “container” they all held in this place was supportive in a way that for me, allowed me to do much of the work on my own. I highly recommend a master plant dieta retreat at Psychonauta!

The most spiritual Journey
I had the most spiritual and meaningful 7-day journey here in Peru. The hospitality was truly amazing, and from the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed and cared for. This place brought me peace, positive energy, and unforgettable memories. The vibes were beautiful, and the people here have such kind and genuine souls. I highly recommend staying here if you’re looking for an amazing and life-changing experience.
