“Don Guido, Maestro. A true master and teacher. I came here to find out if the medicine path was my calling. Indeed it is, and I found my teacher. Don Guido is an artist, truly amazing. I found out through him that to be a good shaman you need a pure heart and he has that. He is so connected to the trees and plants. He is two steps ahead all the time. He is Ayahuasca and Ayahuasca is him. […] By coming here you can not only heal yourself but your ancestors and the future generations to come.” Read more…

Ayahuasca, San Pedro, shamanic dieta and shamanic apprenticeship retreats
Our Ayahuasca, San Pedro, shamanic plant dieta and shamanic apprenticeship retreat venue is fully immersed in 70 hectares (nearly 173 acres) of privately-owned Amazon rainforest, on the edges of the Allpahuayo Mishana Natural Reserve, near the jungle town of Iquitos (Peru). We offer international participants the opportunity to take part in ancestral indigenous shamanic practices, where one may experience – in a very friendly, safe, hospitable and supportive, family-like environment – several types of plant teachers-based shamanic retreats, all facilitated in English and Spanish by our invaluable friend Clever Hoyos Rengifo, who has actively co-operated with El Mundo Magico in Peru, since the year 2003.
The Ayahuasca retreat: what is this good for?
The Ayahuasca retreat in the jungle is indicated as an inner vision quest journey in the wilderness, to stimulate creativity and inner growth, to find one’s direction, path and purpose in life, to heal from trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, addiction, bewilderment and the loss of a loved one. It is also indicated for shamanic journeying and as a soul retrieval therapy.

(Minimum 13 weeks/91 days – Maximum 26 weeks/182 days). Sign-up to download the FREE PDF programme for 3 months/13 weeks “Shamanic plant diet apprenticeship” training, in Peru. See below what is included in the shamanic plant diet.
Learn more about the shamanic diet...
Choose the traditional style of shamanic training – dieting with one master tree at a time, for 1 month each – or follow the intensive style of diet with 28 master trees at once, in cycles of 45 days each. This second style of the diet apprenticeship will accelerate dramatically one’s learning process. The palero shamans we work with maintain that by dieting with 28 master trees at once, one may learn the equivalent of what otherwise would take twice as much time with the traditional diet (dieting a plant/master tree at a time). So, if one opts for the 45 days training, dieting with 28 palos maestros at once, that would be the equivalent of dieting with 3 master trees for 3 months/91 days. Conversely, if one were to follow this diet style for the 3 months apprenticeship, one would be learning the equivalent of what would otherwise take 6 months training, dieting with an individual master tree each month. This as far as the teachings of the master trees are concerned.
_____________________________
All retreat types include – in different ways – the participation to Ayahuasca ceremonies, Toé and Camalonga dream rituals, under the expert guidance of distinguished master shamans Don Guido or Don Sixto, who alternate and offer their healing services in the venue, assisted by our invaluable Clever Hoyos, who tirelessly acts as local facilitator and interpreter Spanish-English at the retreat. The San Pedro ceremonies and the San Pedro retreat will be instead with Shipibo Maestra Celia, her assistant and Don Guido.

Shamanic Retreats: Price, Reservation and Booking
The San Pedro retreat
San Pedro – the renowned “cactus of the four winds” – is an ancient, most sacred plant in Peru. The experience of San Pedro – like the Ayahuasca one – is indicated as an inner vision quest journey, to stimulate creativity and inner growth, to seek answers, for one’s own personal healing and to find one’s direction, path and purpose in life. Like Ayahuasca, San Pedro can be very useful in treating depression, PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) and alcohol additions. Despite being very different from each other, San Pedro and Ayahuasca ceremonies are conducted in a very similar fashion in the Peruvian Amazon (even though it’s a completely different story in the Coast and Highlands of Peru).
Whilst Ayahuasca uproots and takes one to the remote corners of the galaxy, and illuminates one with the light of darkness, showing endless chains of polyhedric realities interweaving with each other, San Pedro has instead an earthly, masculine, grounding energy. With Ayahuasca one may journey to the most remote areas of the universe, witness worlds upon worlds and an unfolding cycle of never completely revealed mysteries, whilst San Pedro makes one vigilant, alert, conscious of the surroundings, and – in a status of enhanced perception – one may experience a profound connection with the jungle, the animals there, fellow humans, and the inter-connectedness of all living beings. Learn more on the San Pedro here.

San Pedro ceremony at night, in our retreat centre, in the Peruvian Amazon: serving the San Pedro brew
San Pedro Ceremony & San Pedro Retreat: Price, Reservation and Booking
The 8 days/7 nights San Pedro retreat begins on Mondays and includes: 4 San Pedro ceremonies (at night), 2 Ayahuasca ceremonies (at night), 3 rituals with palos maestros and with an ancient grandmother wild ayahuasca vine in the jungle (in the morning, or in the afternoon), 2 rituals of spiritual purification and smudging with Palo Santo (in the late afternoon/early evening), 1 Camalonga dream ritual (at night) and finally, 1 Toé ritual, smoking in ceremony (at night) the Toé with the shaman. On the first and sixth retreat night there will be an Ayahuasca ceremony (on the nights of Day 1 and Day 6), in between the two Ayahuasca ceremonies there will be four San Pedro ceremonies (on the nights of Day 2, Day 3, Day 4 and Day 5), whilst on the seventh night there will be a Camalonga dream ritual (first), followed by a Toé ritual (after). The San Pedro cactus we use at the retreat is freshly sourced from the Peruvian coast (not being a native plant of the Amazon), and air freighted to Iquitos. This retreat has a flexible diet where fish, chicken, fruit, vegetables, potatoes, rice, salt and sugar, and most food compatible with Ayahuasca will be allowed. The San Pedro retreat is suitable for vegans, vegetarians and non-vegan/non-vegetarians alike. Please allow enough time to fit in 4 San Pedro, 2 Ayahuasca, 1 Camalonga and 1 Toé night ceremonies during your 8 days staying. The San Pedro retreat ends on the morning of Day 8, after breakfast. The pre-Dieta (or plant diet tester) retreat starts from an absolute minimum of 7-8 days, is generally done for a few weeks (depending on the type of plant teacher, vine or master tree one wishes to diet with), and begins on Mondays. It is pretty flexible in terms of food restrictions, and is suitable to everybody who can do an Ayahuasca retreat but would like to have a taste of the shamanic plant diet proper, in the wilderness of the Amazon jungle. Shamanic Plant Diet Retreat tester (pre-Dieta): Price, Reservation and Booking Master shaman Don Guido drinking the Camalonga brew, before the beginning of the Ayahuasca ceremony, to enhance the power of vision and for divination The pre-Dieta (plant diet tester), typically includes: Programme may vary from case to case, according to the shaman’s assessment of your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual circumstances. The pre-diet is suitable for vegans and vegetarians alike. Shamanic Plant Diet Retreat tester (pre-Dieta): Price, Reservation and Booking The second type of shamanic diet we offer is the 30 days Camalonga diet, exclusively with Don Guido. Daytime Camalonga ritual. Drinking a cup of Camalonga tea, by a Master tree, in the jungle. Photo courtesy: Trenton Doyle The tea for the Camalonga shamanic diet is prepared by the shaman by first scraping Camalonga seeds (1 ‘male’ and 1 ‘female’) to remove the shell, then completely grinding the core of the stone and leaving it to macerate outdoors in clean water (better if rainfall water from the rainforest) for the whole of the following day. 24 hours after the maceration, the brew is filtered and ready to be drunk. It has a pretty bitter taste and is stronger than the brew prepared with the whole, unshelled seeds left in alcohol infusion. Past 48 hours from drinking the Camalonga tea, a dietero (male apprentice) or dietera (female apprentice) may continue the cycle of the diet by taking part to 3 Ayahuasca ceremonies and 3 Toè dream rituals per week (the Toè cannot be drunk when doing the Camalonga diet, it can only be smoked). In terms of dietary prescriptions/requirements, these will be the same as the shamanic healing diet with Master trees, or the shamanic apprenticeship via the plant teachers diet. No dinner on the night of the ceremony and no breakfast the day after the ritual. Allowed food: roasted/grilled fish, roasted/grilled green plantains, unsweetened rice pudding, coconut water, porridge, vegetables and salad (all unseasoned, with no salt or oil). Camalonga brew in a jar, in sugar cane spirit infusion (centre), alongside Ayahuasca brew (right), and Palo Santo wood incense (left) The second type of Camalonga beverage is used by the shaman as personal aid in a diagnostics or a healing, to enhance the visionary and divinatory experience during an Ayahuasca ceremony. It is also served during the Camalonga ceremonies exclusively as part of the Ayahuasca retreat. This is prepared by Don Guido by leaving in infusion in a glass jar, in aguardiente (sugar cane spirit), 32 Camalonga seeds (16 ‘male’ and 16 ‘female’ coupled seeds) alongside one ‘male’ and one ‘female’ bulb of Ajos de la sierra (garlic from the sierra of Peru, not to be confused with normal, domestic garlic) and camphor (Alcanfor), among other ingredients. The seeds are left whole, unscraped and unground, left to macerate indefinitely. The brew is left unfiltered, with all the ingredients left to rest in a glass bottle. Drinking the alcohol-based Camalonga brew does not require a diet other than the Ayahuasca diet itself and can be drank 24 hours before or after an Ayahuasca ceremony. The Camalonga dieta retreat typically includes: The Camalonga dream ritual consists in drinking – either during a day light ceremony in front of a teacher tree in the jungle, or else, during a night ceremony, with the shaman (starting around 9:00 PM and lasting between 2 and 3 hours) – an infusion of the seeds of the Camalonga tree, to stimulate lucid dreaming, enhance the power of divination and knowledge, and favour mental clarity. During the gentle intoxication with Camalonga one may feel more relaxed, receive visions, answers and messages from the Spirit world which may continue in dreaming, after going to bed, when the actual ceremony is finished. The experience is milder than the Ayahuasca one and – when the ceremony is held at night – the settings are very much similar to those of the Ayahuasca ceremony, with the shaman singing his icaros and calling the spirits, in almost complete darkness. We now offer Camalonga rituals during all types of retreats, being these Ayahuasca, pre-diet/plant diet testers, Camalonga, shamanic healing diet, or shamanic apprenticeship retreats. No special diet provisions for the Camalonga ritual will be required from participants who are already following the shamanic diet. Please allow enough time for your staying, to accommodate 5 Ayahuasca ceremonies per week, the Toé ritual-s, and the Camalonga session-s. Generally speaking, one may take part to one Camalonga dream ceremony per week in the course of the Ayahuasca retreat, and to two Camalonga rituals per week during all types of plant diet retreats. The third type of shamanic plant diet retreat we offer is the Shamanic Diet with Master trees. This is done during cycles of 45 days, with two slightly different paths to follow. One is with Don Sixto, who follows a very rigorous and strict diet, the other with Don Guido, more flexible and more suitable to Western people. 45 Days Shamanic Diet with Master Trees Retreat: Price, Reservation and Booking The diet with Don Sixto is very traditional old School, whereby one should only have roasted/grilled fish and green plantains to eat (three courses a day, except when there are night ceremonies involving the drinking of plant teachers or master trees), plus water, rice pudding (unsweetened) and coconut water to drink. Celibacy is required throughout the training (and for a certain period of time, also afterwards), as well as no red meat, chicken, fruit, vegetables, rice, oil, fat, spices, salt, or sugar. Personal perfumes and deodorants may not be allowed, and even toothpaste and mouthwash should be avoided. The diet with Don Guido is more lenient and flexible, and one would also be allowed to eat salad, vegetables, porridge (unsalted, and unsweetened) and rice (otherwise not allowed in the training with Don Sixto). It contemplates periods of rest called “descansos” (the last 3 days of each cycle of 15 days, when fruit, chicken and vegetables may be allowed, as well as salt and sugar in food), where a more relaxed diet is in place. During these periods of rest, however, the rituals with plant teachers will continue and one should avoid going to town, and continue to concentrate on his/her shamanic training. Regardless of whose shaman one may be dieting with, dieteros and/or dieteras will be given an ultra-concentrated, powerful beverage – to be drank only once, at the beginning – prepared with the fresh bark of 28 different types of Master trees. This shamanic diet also includes Ayahuasca ceremonies (twice a week with Don Sixto / three times a week with Don Guido), learning how to conduct and be protected during the Ayahuasca ceremonies, learning the practice of icaros (shamanic magical melodies and secret medicine songs), 2 Camalonga rituals (per week), 3 Toé rituals (per week), rituals with master trees and a giant ayahuasca vine growing wild in the rainforest (three times a week), rituals of spiritual purification (twice a week, in the afternoon) and cleansing ritual baths with fresh and cooked teacher plants. Some of the rituals with Master trees will take place in the jungle of our Pumasacha rainforest reserve where even more Master trees are to be found. The 45 days shamanic diet with master trees is indicated for a vast array of purposes. As initial (self-contained, independent) stage of a rigorous shamanic apprenticeship, for cleansing of the energetical and physical body, to eliminate brujeria (black magic) and spirit possession, to treat saladera, to strengthen one’s healing energy and capabilities (particularly if one is already a practitioner of holistic medicine and therapies), to protect one’s own energy field with arkanas (energetic protections from the spirit world), as shamanic healing treatment to address serious health issues (including drug addiction) and psychological conditions (like depression, stress, family and/or relationship problems). The most essential aspect of the shamanic healing diet – whether done for cycles of 45 days, 3 months, or more – is that the master trees will teach one (in dreaming and with visions) medicine and icaros (magical songs from the spirit world), will empower one’s life, and give strength and wisdom. The spirits of the master trees may appear in form of animals, men, women, spirit beings, elderly men or women, or “abuelo/abuela” grandfather/grandmother spirits (like the Lupuna blanca, or Ceiba tree, the “abuelo” grandfather of the forest). The 45 days shamanic/healing diet with Master trees with Don Sixto may not be suitable for vegans and/or vegetarians, as Amazonian fish will be served as essential part of the menu. However, if done with Don Guido, since vegetables, porridge and salad is allowed with him, it may be also be suitable for vegans and/or vegetarians alike. Please note: Perspective participants taking antidepressants or other incompatible medication, and/or suffering from incompatible conditions, may not take Ayahuasca, Camalonga or Toé, but may nevertheless join the Ayahuasca rituals with the shaman, which remain essential for diagnostics and evaluate the progress of a therapy. Begins on Mondays. Cycles of 45 days each. Up to 3 Ayahuasca ceremonies (per week), 2 rituals with Palos Maestros (per week), 1 ritual with an ancient grandmother ayahuasca vine (per week), 2 rituals of spiritual purification, with smudging (per week), 3 Toé dream journeys (per week), and 2 Camalonga dream rituals (per week). 45 days shamanic diet with Master trees typically includes: Programme may vary from case to case, according to the shaman’s assessment of your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual circumstances. 45 Days Shamanic diet with Master trees retreat: Price, Reservation and Booking Ritually drinking the Camalonga brew by a Chullachaki caspi teacher tree, with Don Sixto.

This has an initial length of 13 weeks (3 months/91 days), which may be extended to a maximum of 26 weeks (6 months) continuously, for the more experienced who have already been exposed to the long shamanic diet in the jungle. 3 Months Shamanic Plant Diet Apprenticeship Retreat: Price, Reservation and Booking _____________________________ It consists of two or more cycles of 45 days each (e.g. from 3 months/13 weeks, up until 6 months/26 weeks). The initial cycle of 45 days will be a very rigorous diet (especially if done with Don Sixto), but after the initial phase one may choose to either continue with the strict diet for the second cycle as well, or else, go for a more relaxed, flexible diet where potatoes, carrots, vegetable soup, vegetables, chicken, rice, and little salt and sugar may be allowed. The diet with Don Guido is slightly more flexible, food-wise, and vegetables, salad and porridge are allowed throughout (all unseasoned). We offer two different styles of shamanic master plant apprenticeship: 1. The first – very intensive, devised by Don Sixto and Don Guido, our master palero shamans – implies dieting with a very concentrated brew prepared 28 different types of master trees at once. There are two different brew combinations one may choose from, each prepared with 28 different master trees. 2. The second – the more traditional approach, followed only by Don Guido – consists in dieting with an individual master tree at a time, drinking a brew prepared with 1 teacher tree twice a month, for a month each. Contact us to receive the FREE PDF programme for 3 months/13 weeks “Shamanic plant diet apprenticeship” training, in Peru, for a full daily programme outline of the shamanic retreat. Both shamanic diet apprenticeship styles include Ayahuasca ceremonies (twice a week with Don Sixto / thrice a week, with Don Guido), learning how to conduct and be protected during the Ayahuasca ceremonies (also fending off bad spirits), practice of icaros (shamanic magical melodies and secret medicine songs), Camalonga dream rituals (twice a week), Toé rituals (three times a week), rituals with master trees and a giant wild black ayahuasca vine, in the rainforest (thrice a week). They also include shamanic talks, Q&A sessions with the shaman (every morning, following the ceremonies with plant teachers, including Ayahuasca), cleansing and flourishing ritual baths with fresh and cooked teacher plants, master trees, colognes and essences. Many of the rituals with Master trees will take place in the jungle of the neighbouring Pumasacha rainforest reserve compound. The main objective of this diet is, let’s not forget it, to prepare one to enter the path of Amazonian shamanism, the world of healers and master plants, and give one the essential tools to begin to operate in the real world as an advanced student of Amazonian entheogenic shamanism. The shamanic plant diet with Master trees may not be suitable for vegans, as Amazonian fish will be served as an essential part of the menu. If you are unsure on whether you can commit to the rigours of the shamanic/healing diet, or to the longer shamanic apprenticeship, you should opt for a shorter, exploratory, introductory “Pre-diet” (plant diet testers, anything from 2 weeks onwards), or else, go for the Ayahuasca retreat instead. The ultra-concentrated brew made with the bark of 28 different types of master trees is prepared in a similar fashion to the Ayahuasca brew, boiling over a wooden fire for about 6-10 hours the bark of the teacher trees until the original 30 litres of water are reduced to just about a litre, then filtering the decoction, and let it to rest. Some of the master trees which make up the tea to drink are: Ayahuma, Cumaceba, Chullachaki caspi, Remocaspi, Caballo sanango, Azucar huayo, Caupuri, Yana capirona, Pucuna caspi, Marupa caspi, Puka tangarana, Chullachaqui caimitillo, Puka punga, Puka lupuna, Tuiracucha lupuna, Puka huayra caspi, Wimba, Catahua, Wayruro, Machimanago and Fierro caspi. The way the master trees brew is prepared (for the apprentice dietero/a to drink during the shamanic diet) is intended to give one a powerful, concentrated and very intensive, long lasting learning experience and differs from the conventional way of drinking the bark of single trees, one by one, for a certain period of time, left simply in infusion. 3 Months Shamanic Plant Diet Apprenticeship Retreat: Price, Reservation and Booking In a nutshell: it lasts a minimum of 13 weeks/91 days. Begins on Mondays. Choose to diet with 1 or 28 different types of master trees at once, take part to 3 Ayahuasca ceremonies (per week), 3 rituals with a black ayahuasca vine and master trees in the jungle (per week), 3 Toé Dream journeys (per week), 2 Camalonga dream rituals (per week). It also include a tobacco ceremony at night, ritually drinking a strong brew prepared with organic black jungle tobacco, and drinking in ceremony the powerful juice of the Toé plant (Brugmansia suaveolens), once a month. _____________________________ Download our FREE PDF Programmes for the “Shamanic Plant Dieta Apprenticeship” retreat (3 Months/91 Days) or else, please open the link below. _____________________________ 13 weeks shamanic plant diet apprenticeship, typically includes: Programme may vary from case to case, according to the shaman’s assessment of your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual circumstances. 3 Months Shamanic Plant Diet Apprenticeship Retreat: Price, Reservation and Booking Retreats are facilitated in Spanish and English, as a courtesy to all our guests.San Pedro retreat.
