About this Retreat

Details of this retreat

Retreat Details:

Upon arrival to our Sacred Valley Center, which is nestled in the mountains on the expansive banks of the Urubamba River, you are greeted by our loving staff of facilitators and healers. This center is a community of loving healers.

The serene and mystical Sacred Valley of Peru is considered one of the most energetically powerful places on Earth. We find that simply being in the presence of the ancient Andean mountains, historical archeological zones, and crisp air, offers wisdom and deep nourishment for the mind, body, and spirit.
Experience the sacred healing power of plant medicines, awaken to your inner truth through witnessing and exploring the beautiful natural Andean landscape, and cultivate a sense of mindfulness and appreciation for yourself as part of it all.

At Arkana Spiritual Center, we work closely with indigenous shamans and our staff of healers to bring you a comprehensive program deeply rooted in the traditional practices of ancestral medicine. We offer a safe, caring, and effective space to begin your journey of transformation, helping you every step of the way as you uncover the energetic roots of any trauma, negative thought patterns, unhealthy habits, or spiritual imbalance.
Our carefully constructed program optimizes your healing by incorporating Eastern and modern philosophies for long-term integration into a modern world.

Following your time with us at Arkana, you will return to life back home with a new perspective and a deeper understanding of yourself and your truth, and will be equipped with the skills and tools necessary to integrate your experience into your everyday life.

Our entire program is structured around our sacred plant medicine ceremonies and holistic therapies.

Best experience of my life

Attending Arkana was truly the most transformative experience of my life. The facility itself is incredible, but what really sets it apart is the warmth and dedication of the staff. I spent 7 days at the retreat, and throughout my stay, I was continually moved by how genuinely caring and attentive everyone was. The shamans are extraordinary—deeply wise and powerful in ways that are hard to put into words. My experience far surpassed anything I could have hoped for. If you're considering an ayahuasca journey, I wholeheartedly recommend Arkana.

A million stars worthy!

How do you leave a review for an experience that words can't do justice for? I came to Arkana not knowing what to expect, and I left with a brand new start at life. 5 stars will never be enough to show the quality of this place. From the cleaning staff that keeps the place clean and tidy, to the kitchen staff that prepares the MOST delicious and healthy meals you can ask for, to the security ensuring we are safe, to the facilitators that bring the warmest, calmest energy while you go through deep work, to the shamans that bring you the exact energy you need. Arkana feels safe, it feels protected. There is no better place to sit with the medicine and surrender to the process. You can let go of all your fears and worries here. Arkana lets you dive deep into your journey while they protect and watch over your physical being. If you have any calling to the medicine, this is THE place to go. Couldn't imagine my first experience being anywhere else. There are a few fun tours to go on to see monkeys, sloths, birds, caymans, the libertad village. Friendly cats around the premises too which are awesome! Read More

Incredible Sacred Valley 14 Day Experience

I spent two weeks at Arkana Sacred Valley for my second experience working with the medicine, and I couldn’t have chosen a better place. What drew me to Arkana was their deep respect for the Shipibo traditions and the authenticity with which they hold their ceremonies. A few friends had also recommended it, and now I know why.

From the moment you’re picked up to the moment you’re dropped off, everything is flawlessly organized. You truly don’t need to worry about a thing—just relax, be present, and focus on your journey.

As a bilingual guest, I felt incredibly welcomed. I was able to connect with everyone—from the facilitators to the kitchen staff, reception team, and even the cleaning crew. The sense of community and warmth is undeniable. The facilitators were especially supportive, always available to help with integration or simply share meaningful conversations, laughter, and love.

I came in with intentions, but what unfolded went beyond what I imagined. One of the most beautiful lessons I took with me was realizing how deeply love can be felt among strangers walking the same path.

A heartfelt shoutout to everyone who made this journey so special. The support doesn’t end when the retreat does—you truly become part of the Arkana family, and they remain available to support you afterward.

I 100% recommend Arkana. It’s a genuine, heart-centered space—refreshingly different from the many commercial retreats out there today. Read More

My Arkana Experience

Based on research from various websites, I decided to try Ayahuasca at Arkana due to its price, retreat options, and venue. The experience was unique. Although I did not experience significant cathartic effects from the medicine, it was a notable event. The shamans, facilitators, and staff were professional and attentive. The facility is clean and located in the Peruvian jungle. For those interested in this type of experience, Arkana is a recommended option. Read More

Worth the trip to the Amazon!

Don’t be afraid! It’s time to heal.
I can’t remember exactly how I came upon Arkana. I think I was ready to change. But I had a lot of hesitation- Taking Ayahuasca? - it’s so out of the box for so many of us. As a believer in Christ Jesus, could I even do this?
Yet who wants to stay stuck? Ayahuasca is a healer. It’s sitting down with a gentle instructive mother. The love and care of the staff to support you as you heal is a warm blanket of compassion. The flow of the program is designed to help you wade into the unknown gently.
The facility is top-notch. The food is abundant and the best the earth can offer, fresh, colorful and delicious. The group discussions help you process and support others in their healing.
After my experience, what has changed? For me, my internal emotional temperature has smoothed. I see from a larger frame. I’ve developed a compassionate heart towards those that struggle and hurt. I feel loved more (if that’s possible) by God. I would describe my life as more restful. I will go back. I hope you take the step. Read More
