Everything went smoothly and Johanne has always been available and very thoughtful about each step of the program. The food was very delicious, yet simple and made with lots of love and care. Johanne has tons of knowledge on nutrition and health which she enjoys sharing during meal times.The place has a very homely feel and the land is very beautiful with no disturbance or pollution. Though possibly the best thing is the lagoon. It is great fun to jump into and to swim on a hot day.As a result of the detox, I have been feeling an improvement in my metabolism and while I had done liver gallbladder cleanses before, this time I had actually quite a lot of stones coming out. It was a relatively easy and certainly freeing process. Since Johanne provides extensive material on the detox, it will be easy to redo the procedure every now and then by myself. Overall, I am very grateful for the experience and want to thank Armando and Johanne for a very beautiful and unforgettable time."--  Anja plagemann, German"What an experience!!! Tambo Ilusion is a magical place. I came for an 8 day yoga liver detox/cleanse. Cleanses can be such an awful experience but Johanne works her magic behind the scenes and makes it seem so easy. The meals are amazing – you are never hungry. The yoga at sunset in the yoga studio was my favorite way to end the day. Joanne has an amazing gift of making you feel so relaxed during the sessions. It is hard to capture all the positive changes that have happened to me during the 8 day cleanse. The biggest for me was that I was able to quit drinking coffee – that alone would be enough but no there is so much more. Normally, I start my day by taking an allergy pill but here at Tambo Ilusion, I was able to go a whole week without taking one pill. Those two alone would have been enough for me but there is more – my skin feels better, I know the true meaning of relaxation, I know I can be satiated with no fat in my food, no shoulder soreness from using a computer and learned to really enjoy the jungle rhythm. There is no set schedule – ½ hour before breakfast and lunch you get fresh squeezed apple juice that is how you know when to go for your meal. Dinner is after yoga finishes or your Reiki session is over but not on a clock. That is what I mean by jungle rhythm. Typically I was in my hammock reading or at the lagoon swimming so it was not hard to find me. Sleeping was another amazing experience. It is rare to find sheets that have been line dried and smell like fresh air but that is what you smell as you climb into bed. I arrived feeling bloated and tired and I am leaving feeling energized and calm. I think I lost a few pounds in the process which is always a nice bonus!!!Room Tip: This is a rustic spa with shared screened in bathrooms adding to the amazing experience of fresh air."--  Kimberly Fox, USA"I highly recommend this relaxing and rustic jungle getaway. Not only are Johanne and Armando wonderful and caring but they are also wealths of knowledge regarding nutrition, health and nature conservation. If you are looking for a place to get away from the backpacker crowd and immerse yourself in a rejuvenating, slower pace of life, Tamboilusion is the place for you. Perfect for healing, grounding, being healthy, or just giving your body some good old R & R in the Peruvian jungle.Situated on a large plat of land outside Tarapoto, Peru, you immediately feel as if you've entered a different sort of rhythm than city/town-life. Five lovely thatched roof house or Tambos (two queen/king beds in each, mosquito netting, hammocks, lanterns and candles - no electricity) serve as your home while staying at TamboIlusion. THere are shared bathrooms above and below on the hill the tambos are situated on. Birdsongs, monkey chatter, roosters crowing and a medley of insect and frog voices servce as your background music while you swing in your hammock or swim in the lagoon.This was my second time back at Tambo Ilusion. The first time, earlier this year, I went for a lovely 5 day yoga retreat where I was relaxed and rejuvenated and heard about the 8-day liver detox that Johanne does. I came back for this this November.I felt incredible - during and after the liver detox. Johanne takes so much care and is very organized and detail-oriented with your nutrition throughout the week. We always ate incredible food (despite there being no gluten, lactose, meat, salt, sugar....) and I never felt hungry. She also teaches a yoga class each day, a great way to detox. Yet the heights to which my body felt better afterwards were incredible.The only downside to Tamboilusion (like any jungle getaway) is the bugs. You will come back with a few bug bites here and there. This is great if you want an off the beaten path relaxing jungle getaway, but be prepared for shared bathrooms and no electricity in your tambo. As long as your expectations are not that of a 5 star resort, then you will be pleased.I highly recommend Tambo Ilusion!"-- Karen E, USA
