Find Authentic Retreats in Iquitos Peru

"Had a really nice stay at this retreat. Did the 7 days 3 ceremonies. The diet was the hardest part for me but other than that I recommend this center. Jeremiah helps a lot in others self development throughout the week. The shaman is great. Very nice group. "

"It is life changing experience! I lived 8 weeks as a spirit so happy floating around and tap into unknown sides of me. I completely forgot about my body there really no mirrors around, I felt very beautiful, graceful at all times. I found connection to God, plants are all so alive and telepathically communicating at all times. All plant medicine is amazingly healing and did exactly what it is said to do. I tuned in to feel like that is our real state of being to feel magic, creativity, lightness, beauty, empowerment. That was incredible to find out that I can sing when I haven’t even learned one song in my lifetime. I felt myself genius my memory was incredible I could memorize anything, my head space was so clear, my will power was back, my boundaries are so strong and ego became very small. I really walk joyfully as a very happy child. I haven’t craved any food and barely wanted to eat I realized just how much I was just unconsciously eating to numb myself. I have no desire to watch tv and rather go for a walk. I talk to God all the time now and I feel Gods presence everywhere. All of the people working at retreat doing really good job. They never interfere with your energy and very careful around what they do and say so you can have your authentic experience without any suggestion. I found everyone being very kind and carrying. You will get basic food as expected but it is more than enough and just perfect. I have learned how powerful I can be and I know that we all are. It reminded me of a lion story, who was raised by sheep and thought he was a sheep until he got awakened by another lion. I thank you all for this experience as I am integrating and solidifying all that I learned and awakened in me every day I believe more and more that is real me. :) "

"The AF exceeds all expectations. They sent materials and conducted calls in advance of the retreat to ensure that I was fully prepared. The retreat itself was in a great location in the jungle and more than met my needs. Several therapies and plant medicines were provided. And the facilitators that oversaw the process were superb. It all resulted in me having a truly transformative experience. Highly recommend! "

"My experience was absolutely beautiful and amazing, the facility, and the staff were the most amazing and accommodating! "

"We had the great honour of working with Mayestra which couldn’t be more perfect for our group. She carried us through the tough parts and loved all the way till the end. She was a stable North Star to follow - thank you"

"What an experience - I met people who are now my family, I challenged myself beyond words, I have been supported and loved every step of the way. The people are amazing who guide and explain each step of the way. It’s beautifully designed so you know just enough to be able to follow through with the immediate things in front of you and not get overwhelmed. Get ready to shed some emotional weight, feel nature like never before and get educated on all sorts of things. Life changing experience!"

"Well held, superb facilities and lots of attention to detail made this an incredible 18 Day Dieta healing retreat. I've really healed a lot of my own personal material which matched my original intention. All sessions were held with integrity and safe boundaries by an incredibly professional and empathetic facilitator team of Mariella, Brian and Justin. The Curandera, Doña Angela, was amazing in her powerful practitioner role leading ceremonies, healing sessions and treatments. I would throroughly recommend this facility and the 18 Day Retreat which is an incredible deep dive. I'm now seriously considering the 28 Day Retreat! Many thanks to all the team, I'll be back!"

"Ayamama Mystic offered an unforgettable experience that went far beyond the psychedelic journey. The retreat’s setting in the heart of the jungle was more than I could have hoped for, providing a perfect escape to reconnect with nature. Immersed in this lush environment, I found it easy to disconnect from the everyday and fully embrace the moment. What made the experience even more special was the host’s genuine hospitality—I was treated like family, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. If you’re considering a retreat, I can’t recommend Ayamama Mystic enough."

"It s been years that Ayahuasca called in. After a couple (and disappointing I reckon now) of retreats with Abuelita in Europe, it had come the time for me to live what a truly retreat is… I return home with an enlightened heart and spirit… I am still processing what unfolded in that so beautiful, blissful, peaceful place in the middle of the jungle, where I shared my days and nights with a bunch of awesome hearts and souls and a so valuable, skilled, knowledgeable team. I will obviously come back here to keep on that journey with plants for my own good and those of the humanity.❤️❤️ ✨✨❤️With much love, peace and light❤️✨✨ 🙏🙏 Lilian"

"I have just completed the 4-week Empowerment Course at The Ayahuasca Foundation and I can tell you that this is by far, one of the most difficult things I have ever done in my life..... but I can also tell you that it is by far, one of the best things I've ever done in my life! The staff are absolutely fantastic and so supportive and knowledgeable - the centre itself is really nice. I had my own room with a private bathroom and a little reading nook that looked out onto the jungle behind. If you are considering doing the 4-week course, I would say to really think hard about your decision because you will really need to dig deep at times! But if you feel like you have some healing to do and are also interested in implementing plant medicine into your future plans, this is by far the best place to go! This is way above and beyond a retreat and will develop your love and respect for the plant world, as well as giving you the skills and confidence to continue working with plants once you return home. I have a lot to be thankful and grateful to the AF for and for the first time in a lot of years, I have hope that I can completely heal and move forward in good health. I don't think this will be the end of my relationship with the Ayahuasca Foundation - maybe I will see you there in the future ;-)"

"I recently completed a 10-day retreat with the Ayahuasca Foundation, and the experience was nothing short of transformational. This journey was a profound breakthrough in my life, offering deep healing, cleansing, and nurturing moments that have unlocked new paths of discovery within myself. It was truly life-altering. The retreat fostered a significant improvement in my relationship with nature, myself, and others. Through this immersive experience, I gained invaluable spiritual insights and emerged with a profound sense of appreciation, gratitude, and connectedness. This experience has reshaped my outlook on life and equipped me with perspectives and tools that continue to enrich my daily existence. Highly recommended for those seeking meaningful transformation and growth."

"I had gone three years ago and had an enlightening experience but this past March 2024 was transcendent. The facilitators Cassandra, Brian, Mariela, Poncho and Miguel all helped to make this experience extremely comfortable and guided us every step of the way. Dona/Curandera Angela was incredibly powerful but so gentle. Her motherly, gentle but strong energy made this by far the most transcendent experience I've ever had in my life! Anyone looking to explore the unseen world should definitely experience this retreat! All of our group left changed in the most profound ways! "

"Such a wonder filled experience. Many profound insights into health, spirituality, friendship, love, forgiveness, empowerment. Mentally, emotional, and spiritually rewarding! I really can’t speak highly enough. You really can’t put words to this. Of course your hearts true intent will play a part. I truly believe you will find everything you are looking for and more. We’re all connected. So obvious during ceremony! Good Job everyone! You know who you are! 1 hundred stars!!!!"

"There are lots of retreat centers that one can attend for personal growth and healing. Ayahuasca Foundation offers the only opportunity for one to learn Shipibo traditions and practices from maestro Don Enrique. If you are interested in expanding your practice so that you can create space for others, this is the learning experience for you. During the 2 months you will have the opportunity to participate in two dietas from master plants, fasting, learn Shipibo icaros, participate in healing vapor baths, learn about the healing properties of numerous plants, receive personal healing from these plants, learn how to hold and navigate ceremony space, hold space during a student lead ceremony for all other participants, and more! Maestro Don Enrique opens up his community and shares his knowledge to be spread all over the world for all humanity to benefit. This is a tough course that will test your comfort level on a spiritual and physical level. If you are lookin for grow on this path, I highly recommend Ayahuasca Foundation. "

"They are good people good shaman good environment good facilitators. One of the best learning experiences you can have . "

"This was such an amazing retreat ans so healing. The staff are so kind and knowledgeable. Don Ronor is an incredible maestro. Riosbo is a really nice comfortable center in the jungle. I highly recommend this place for healing! You get to experience a wide range of Shipibo treatments as well as breath work, meditation, and other western treatments. "

"I just got back from a 10 day retreat. The accommodations were great, the staff was fabulous, friendly and efficient. They fed us well, our clothes were washed every other day and the food, although bland of course, was excellent . The ceremonies were professional and I felt protected. They had people available to help for restroom needs and to get us back to our room. The facilitators were very kind and loving. They were very knowledgeable as well and there if and when we needed them. Our Shaman was fabulous. He even gave us 5% of his energy to protect us during a bad storm that was right over the top of us one night. If I ever decide to do it again, I will definitely return to the Ayahuasca Foundation! Thank you for everything! Top notch in my book! It is definitely a safe and loving place!"

"Very good place for retreat with skilled and warm-hearted facilitators. Beautiful nature with less Moskitos! The curandero is trustworthy."

"I attended Ayahuasca Foundation's Empowerment course. It is a very safe place and rich in teachings programme. The Founder of the center, our Curandero, Vegetalistas and Facilitators were all incredible - attentive, talented, deep and knowledgeable people. Do not hesitate. "

"Awesome experience Very well taken care of Can’t wait to go back"

"Just spent a few days at this fantastic retreat with soft beds, flush toilet, running shower water and delicious home cooked food. The staff are mostly bilingual with Spanish and English as primary languages. You participate in a variety of activities such as swimming, hiking, painting and ancient ceremonies. I would highly recommend this retreat."

"During my time at Ayamama Mystic, I experienced a transformative breakthrough in healing my PTSD surrounded by kind, accommodating facilitators, amazing neighbors and fellow participants, and of course the beautiful jungle of Iquitos. Would highly recommend and plan on going back another time."

"Life changing, I feel light and full of positivity, best thing I ever did "

"There are a lot of options when considering an Ayahuasca retreat and I would 100% wholeheartedly recommend the Ayahuasca Foundation. This place exceeded my expectations, everything from the pre-retreat communication from Carlos to the incredibly genuine care and attentiveness of the facilitators Brian, Mariella and Cass, to the support staff, kitchen, cleaners, and security I felt so well taken care of, safe and comfortable. The individual rooms, bathrooms and showers were excellent. The stunning location right on the river and surrounding nature are grounding and beyond beautiful. While any Ayahuasca healing journey can be difficult at times, it was overall one of the most profound, rewarding and transformative experiences. I had many important breakthroughs and made meaningful connections with absolutely every amazing human who was a part of these 10 days. Don Ronor was very hands on, approachable, caring, professional and a true healer. The Centre genuinely gives back and supports the local community and their families and it’s clear that Carlos has put his heart & soul into making this the amazing place that it is. It is with deep gratitude that I had the opportunity to attend and I would do it all again in a heartbeat. Thank you!"

"Don Ronor loves what he does and is truly looking out for your best interest. When I arrived to the center, I was a bit uneasy and uncertain in what to expect. Yet after sitting down with Don Ronor, I knew I was in good hands. Thank you for everything maestro! I hope that this review allows more people to see how great your ceremonies truly are. "

"As common as a cliche turning 40 has in pop culture, it’s a realization of quite the milestone. 4 decades that one has spent on Earth and experiencing Earth. For many of us, we are merely surviving. Hence why my attendance to the Ayahuasca Foundation focused on healing. Like everyone, I’ve been through a lot. Yet unlike others, I was willing to do what it took to heal rather than stay trapped in my mind and false sense of security. It was hard to stay stable in the mundane. Now that I have just attended the 18 day retreat, I am looking forward to the mundane. It’s a gift just like all the suffering I’ve endured all these years. Through Ayahuasca’s revelations, I see how the struggles have made me into the man I am, and I am grateful for all of it. If you are searching for a retreat center to heal, I can’t recommend the Ayahuasca Foundation enough. It has saved my life. "

"The experience was phenomenal, surreal. Plant medicine is truly God’s way of providing incredible healings. Emotional blessings abound. Nothing to be afraid of. It truly healed parts of me. I came back from Peru a different person."

"Don Ronor is a humble, down-to-earth, gentle spirit that has devoted his life to helping other people. After the first ceremony, he had a personal consultation with each of the participants to learn about their ailments so he could come up with a specific herbal treatment plan we each needed to follow throughout the 10-day retreat. My physical symptoms seem to go away after drinking the herbal remedies after the third day, and never came back. During the ceremonies, he would sing his indigenous icaros, which were spiritual songs to help open us up to the ayahuasca spirit but also to ground us through the psychedelic experience. Many times it felt as though he was singing directly into me, even though I did know what he was singing. A beautiful voice that sounded authentic and connected. Between ceremonies, he was always available if you wanted to talk to him about your process, physically or spiritually. "

"Amazing experience. Very primitive-in a good way. The staff really care. I felt safe the entire time. Food was great. Highly recommend."

"I had the privilege of receiving many plant medicines on top of ayahuasca with a team of individuals who were knowledgeable and provided a caring environment which assisted in healing. It was a challenging but beautiful experience for me. I felt immediately the effects of the purgatives which allowed me to breathe much more deeply and resolve some heaviness in my chest. As time went on, I felt a peace within my body that I have never had since before my time in Iraq, and it seems much of the chaos ensuing in my nervous system has subsided and I am even hearing, seeing, and thinking better and more clearly. This experience was transformative for me on a mind body spirit level. I cannot wait to come back and deepen my understanding of all the medicines used to grow in my healing. "
