In Peru, we offer…
Don Armando preparing a special batch of Ayahuasca, using 60 years old (!) Suni ayahuasca vine cuts.
Intensive Ayahuasca, San Pedro, shamanic healing plant dieta and long-term shamanic apprenticeship (13-26 weeks), under the expert guidance of our Palero master shaman Don Armando, in our private rainforest, near the Allpahuayo Mishana natural reserve (close to Iquitos), in the heart of the PERUVIAN AMAZON. Our centre is open – with retreats usually ongoing – ALL year round, including the Easter, Christmas and New Year festive periods (subject to availability). We also offer customised shamanic dieta retreats. Fully immerse yourself in the magical world of Ayahuasca, Camalonga (Thevetia peruviana, traditionally used by Vegetalistas and Curanderos in Peru, for divination), and other Amazonian shamanic plant medicines like Toé (Brugmansia sp., mainly used by shamans to dramatically enhance the power of vision and divination), Mapacho (Nicotiana tabacum, for cleansing and protection), Cacao (Theobroma cacao), Chagropanga/Huambisa chacruna (Diplopterys cabrerana, also known by the vernacular name of Chaliponga) and thirty-five different varieties of powerful Master Trees (Palos Maestros) and vines (including the famed Huarmi renaco, the “vine of love”).
Don Armando collecting in a remote jungle location the leaves of the powerful Puma chacruna teacher plant, to use as admixture to the Ayahuasca brew he prepares.
Experience Ayahuasca brewed with the rare and very powerful Puma Chacruna plant teacher – whose mother spirit appears in vision in the guise of a giant roaring Puma, or as a giant black panther – and/or with Puma ayahuasca (the same vine known in Colombia as Yagé Tigre, or Tigre Yagé) whose madre appears in vision as a ferocious and at the same time friendly giant jaguar. It is believed that a shaman dieting for many years with Puma ayahuasca/Tigre Yagé may be capable to shape-shift into a jaguar. No other retreat centre in Peru offers to experience the variety of Ayahuasca brews we have, which alongside Cielo ayahuasca, also includes Suni ayahuasca and Lucero ayahuasca.
Fire ceremony at night in the jungle, with Don Armando. This is a thanksgiving ritual always performed at the end of the shamanic apprenticeship.

Harvest with the shaman the Chaliponga (Diplopterys cabrerana) in the rainforest surrounding our centre, and actively participate in the preparation of the Ayahuasca brew. Learn how to sing icaros, how to prepare Ayahuasca and how to conduct ceremonies (long term shamanic apprenticeship only). Take part to the Fire meditation ritual (as part of the shamanic diet)…Embark in a mini jungle expedition to go on pilgrimage with the shaman to pay homage and respect to the magical Lupuna blanca and Puca lupuna master trees… And much more!
San Pedro (Huachuma) ceremony with Maestro Huachumero Don Armando.
