I made the right decision I've been called to do this for years, and I'm so glad I waited until I found the right place. From the moment I booked, the communication was excellent. Andres was incredible, his English was great, which made everything so much easier. He explained exactly what to expect, the timings all ran to schedule, and I always felt fully informed. The shaman Master Nicolas didn't speak English, but having Andres there to translate everything throughout made me feel completely at ease. The property itself is beautiful. Incredible views, quiet, and you can just go for a walk and be in your own space. Exactly the kind of environment you need for this kind of inner work. What I really appreciated was how they introduced the medicine gradually, I did 5 days with 3 ceremonies (1 day rest after 2 days sitting with the medicine) starting with less on the first ceremony, building on the second, and the third being the most profound experience. That approach meant I could genuinely let go by the final ceremony in a way I don't think I would have been able to otherwise. And a special mention to Tatiana for the food, nourishing, delicious, and exactly what your body needs during those five days. I booked a small group but ended up being the only one there, and I'm genuinely grateful for that. Just me, the team, and the process. The support didn't stop when the ceremonies ended either, Andres prepared me for what to expect afterwards, which matters more than people realise. I couldn't recommend Ayaterra enough. I can't imagine having done this anywhere else.

Mother's Day with PachaMama I felt so held by the staff at Ayaterra. Andreas, Masters Lucia, Nicolas, and Tianna cared for me with such detail. Our ceremony outside by fire with two other retreatants, gave me gratitude, being in a tribe as the ancients. I feel deeply connected. Made me realize the appreciation and love I have for the tribe I have back home. I am forever grateful ❤️

A beautiful experience with incredible people We had a beautiful experience here at Ayaterra - my husband and I stayed for 3 days and were completely taken care of the entire time. The experiences themselves were extremely special, the hosts, staff, Shamans, and everyone was very friendly and helpful. The center itself is located in a very beautiful valley, and the facilities are very comfortable, with beautiful scenic views all around. There are many options for places that offer these services - but Ayaterra really makes the extra effort to take care of you ❤️ I’m so glad i went with Ayaterra and i can’t recommend it enough.

A safe and authentic experience We had a very authentic experience at Ayaterra. The setting is peaceful and beautiful, which adds to the experience. All the facilitators are warm and professional and made us feel very safe the whole time. And the breakfast is incredible!

Neue Klarheit Vielen Dank für die tolle Erfahrung :) Wir nahmen an einer Ayahuasca Zeremonie Teil und blieben eine Nacht. Die Begleitung vor, während und nach der Zeremonie war ausgezeichnet, der Ort sehr schön und wir können das Retreat nur empfehlen. Für Personen ohne Erfahrung in diesem Bereich würden wir einen längeren Aufenthalt empfehlen, da die Ayahuasca Zeremonie sehr intensiv ist. Es war ein tiefgreifendes Erlebnis.

素晴らしい体験 アヤワスカの儀式の間、スタッフのアンドレスさんがとても親切に接してくれたので、安心して過ごすことができました。儀式の後、私はとても大きな愛を感じました。すべてが愛で繋がっているように感じました。本当に素晴らしい体験でした。

My experience Just finished my 2 day San Pedro Retreat and wow what an experience it was. So many emotions and sensations arised and I was so shocked on how long it lasted in my body. The whole day/night was extremely impactful. I had no idea what I was truly signing up for but I felt a deep sense of gratitude for having had this experience. Everything felt aligned for me and it all strangely felt exactly what I needed in order to heal and grow from this retreat. Alot to unpack now but I am super glad I chose this centre even though at times felt challenges arise from being alone, the staff were super supportive and really there to help heal you. Food is incredible also.

It was an extraordinary experience. The welcome we were given and the accompaniment for the ceremony allowed me to make the most of my two ayahuasca experiences. The place is beautiful, benefitting from a natural setting that allowed me to recharge my batteries. I highly recommend Ayaterra to those who want to live their first experience.

I recently did a 5 day Ayahuasca retreat at Ayaterra Center. I am very pleased with my retreat. My personal experience was good, ayahuasca ceremony are quite intense and the experience can differ from person to person but in my experience to achieve a proper ceremony there other factors involved and it was not just about drinking the medicine and purging to get in the state of trance. Ayaterra Center offered good facilities, the surrounding are beautiful and peaceful. Living in midst of the mountains gave me peace and energy. It was perfect to take the long walks in the afternoon breaks and before the ceremonies to gather my thoughts. The rooms at the center are clean and the beds are comfortable, Tatiana (house keeper) makes amazing breakfast with fresh ingredients. As for the actual ceremonies the Shaman Master Nicolas guided me well. I had Jose and Andres coordinators are both very fluent in English and very aware of needs of new participants and supported me really well during my ceremonies and my overall stay at the center. I recommend Ayaterra Center to anyone who is interested in ayahuasca ceremonies in region of Cusco.

My husband and I attended a 4-day Ayahuasca and San Pedro retreat, and it was such an incredible healing experience. The first night there was one other guest, a very kind man, and the rest of the retreat was just the two of us. We felt deeply cared for the entire time, and the shamans held such a safe and sacred space for healing. If you are high-maintenance or looking for a trendy, luxury-style retreat, this may not be the place for you. But if you are seeking a genuine healing experience that is deeply connected to the earth, with healthy meals, amazing guidance, and powerful medicinal ceremonies, I highly recommend this retreat. We are forever grateful to everyone who supported us during our stay.
