Life Changing Experience
The week that I spent at Planta Maestra was one of the most amazing weeks of my life. I can not say enough good things about my experience here.
From the very beginning Danny was very inviting and helpful. He was there to pick me up from the airport and he showed me around Iquitos before we went to the boat. It was a very beautiful boat ride to get to the center.
The center itself was absolutely beautiful. I stayed in the house in the front near the river and I spent most of my down time in the hammock there.
The food was also GREAT! It did not feel like a diet at all. Roosevelt is a wonderful chef 😋
Don Leo is an excellent Shaman, he made me feel very safe through my stay there. He was always there to help guide me. He is very experienced and very knowledgeable. He is very well connected to the spirits. He has such a sweet pure heart and he truly wants to help others.
I was lucky enough to be there at the same time as Nina. It was also nice to have another girl close to my age going through the same journey in life, we created a great bond as she helped me navigate my experiences too ❤️
Danny is an amazing host. He made sure that I was cared for the whole time that I was there. He made me feel very safe through the whole experience. He has such a genuine soul, he truly cares about the healing of others. He is very educational, he taught me so much about the jungle and the culture of the jungle people.
The hikes and the tours were one of the best parts!
It was such a special experience to hike through the jungle to harvest the Ayahuasca ourselves. I learned so much about the Ayahuasca and many other plants of the jungle on that hike.
I also got to have river tours, including one to monkey island. We got to go see the monkeys at a rescue area and we were able to learn more about them. A couple of the monkeys climbed onto my shoulders, I really loved that, and I got great pictures!
The BEST PART….. Anaconda Island… I am obsessed with sloths.. They had a baby sloth that I got to hold 🥹
And of course a giant anaconda. The anaconda was way too big for me to hold but it was so cool to see and learn about.
As far as my Ayahuasca journey goes.. This was a hard journey for me. Ayahuasca is not a fun, recreational, drug that you do to party. Ayahuasca is meant for something far more deep and powerful than that. Ayahuasca touched me very deeply and it made me confront very hard parts of myself. But it also helped me to heal.
On this journey I also had the opportunity to try Bufo.. All I can say is WOW. Bufo was absolutely life changing for me. I seen inside of my soul with Bufo. It will always be the most amazing experience of my whole life. It has absolutely changed me, in the best way possible.
I was a woman coming here from Texas, all alone, to celebrate my 30th birthday at Planta Maestra. I was incredibly safe and welcomed the whole time as a single young woman traveler. It was the best experience of my life. If you have the opportunity to go to Planta Maestra… Do it. I promise that you will forever be thankful that you did ❤️
