About this retreat

Summary

This seven-day retreat provides a slower rhythm for guests who want more time between ceremonies and more space for rest and reflection. The program takes place at the Ayaterra center near Iquitos, surrounded by the natural environment of the Peruvian Amazon.

The current itinerary includes four ayahuasca ceremonies, two rest days, post-ceremony group conversations, breathwork, medicinal plant steam baths and a massage or yoga session. The schedule is designed to balance ceremonial work with meals, rest and time to process each experience.

Ayaterra’s shamans, facilitators and on-site team accompany participants throughout the week. Conversations before and after ceremonies help guests clarify their intentions, understand the schedule and reflect on their experience without promising a particular medical, psychological or spiritual outcome.

Duration: 7 Days / 6 Nights

Meals: according to the itinerary

Language: English- and Spanish-speaking facilitator during the retreat

4 ayahuasca ceremonies

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.

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.

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.
