About this Retreat
Your Guides
Our Ayahuasca Maestros from the Amazon Rainforest have been working with plant medicine for many years. We only work with real Shipibo Shamans who perform our Ayahuasca plant ceremonies.
Meet our wise shamans from the Q'eros Nation, a local community nestled in the high Andes Mountains. They are revered as the last direct descendants of the Incas, preserving ancient traditions that are deeply connected to the spirits of the mountains. These shamans continue to perform ceremonies just as their ancestors did, keeping these sacred practices alive. Experience the wisdom and spiritual guidance of our authentic shamans during your journey with us!

Schedule
Day 1: Introduction – Coca Leaf Reading – First Ayahuasca Ceremony
We will pick you up in Cusco, and then embark on our journey towards the Sacred Valley, where our retreat place is located. We will have some time to get to know this beautiful retreat place in the Andes Mountains. We will then meet our esteemed Andean Maestro from the Q'eros community and our Shipibo Master for the Ayahuasca medicine. We will start our spiritual journey with a Coca Leaf reading ceremony, a special ritual that gives us spiritual guidance, helping to navigate our emotions, make decisions, and find clarity in various aspects of life.
In the afternoon, you will have some free time to prepare for your first Ayahuasca session. Our Shipibo master will provide an introduction to plant medicine, explaining what to expect during the session. Following this, we will consume the Ayahuasca brew. The ceremony itself will last approximately 4 to 6 hours. The intention of our first session is cleansing and forgiveness. It is also to get to know the plant, so we can work with the medicine on a more profound level next time. After the ceremony, we will rest.
Day 2: Cleansing – Second Ayahuasca Ceremony
We will start the day with a tasty breakfast full of different fruits. Then, we will have integration conversations with our guide and shaman, and get help understanding the visions we have had, making our connection with Ayahuasca stronger.
Later, we will participate in cleansing and flourishing ceremonies led by our Andean shaman. These ceremonies are intended to help us forgive ourselves and release all negative energy. Before the Ayahuasca ceremony, we will calm our minds with a peaceful meditation. As night comes, we will gather in the ceremony room for the second Ayahuasca session, continuing the powerful experience from the night before. The focus of this ceremony is to fully receive the medicine's wisdom and heal our internal wounds, working on a deeper level. Our experienced team will be there to guide us through this meaningful journey.
Day 3: Hike to Waterfall – Sound Healing
After breakfast, we will explore the hidden treasures of the valley and take our private transportation to the local community of Soqma. From there, we will start a 45-minute hike to the incredible waterfall of Perolniyoq. Lost amid lush vegetation, this waterfall is considered an unknown jewel of Mother Nature, and we will likely have the opportunity to discover it without any tourists. Following our visit to the waterfall, we will ascend for 45 minutes to the archaeological site of Raqaypata, a sacred site offering breathtaking mountain views. After a relaxing break and enjoying our picnic lunch with incredible panoramic views, we will perform a mindful meditation ceremony with our Andean shaman, and then take the same route back and drive to our retreat center.
Once back at the retreat center, we will have some time to relax before enjoying an evening sound healing session featuring various sounds and instruments.
Day 4: Yoga – Group Picnic – Third Ayahuasca Ceremony
After breakfast and another integration session with our shaman and guide, we will have a yoga session at our retreat center, followed by a group picnic with organic fruits and snacks in line with our diet.
Before the Ayahuasca ceremony, we will participate in a group meditation to cultivate the right mindset for our final round of Aya. As night falls, we will gather in the ceremony room for our last Ayahuasca session, focused on gratitude. This ceremony will be an opportunity to give back, become aware of all we have, and express our thanks.
Day 5: Mother Earth Offering – Farewell
We enjoy a delightful breakfast with a variety of fruits. Later, we will have a final meeting with our Shipibo Shaman, where we engage in an integration ceremony. We then participate in a heartfelt offering ceremony led by the Q’eros Master to express gratitude to Mother Earth, taking some time to connect before we take our transportation back to Cusco.
