Our Ayahuasca, Palero and San Pedro shamans
Don Guido

Don Guido is a highly experienced senior Vegetalista shaman, a Maestro Palero, Ayahuasquero, Toesero, Camalonguero, Sananguero, Rosicrucista – and also an Espiritista – who has dieted with a vast array of Amazonian master trees and plants, as well as with several varieties of Ayahuasca vines (including less common types like Trueno, Puma, and Rayo, and the little known Camotillo, Santa Rosa and Nudillo varieties). He is – alongside Don Armando – the most senior and experienced shaman working at our retreat centre, located in the Amazon rainforest near Iquitos. Learn more…
At times, Shipibo Maestra Celia, her brother Maestro Jorge, and especially Shipibo Maestro Ronel, may join-in our Ayahuasca and San Pedro retreats, as guest shamans. From May 2026 onwards, Shipibo Maestra Ercilia will also return to offer her healing services in our centre.
