My home in Peru
Very authentic, simplistic and down to earth place. I learned a lot about kambo, and we shared some nice ceremonies. The surroundings are gorgeous, as the center is literally on the banks of the Amazon with lush jungle on the other side.
The rooms are cosy and full of love. And so are the teachers.
