Directions
The nearest international airport is Lima Jorge Chávez International Airport (LIM). From Lima, you will take a short domestic flight (1 hour) to Tarapoto Airport (TPP), which is the closest airport to our Ecovillage.
Once you arrive in Tarapoto, our team will meet the group on the first day of your program for breakfast at the designated meeting point, and then accompany you to the Ecovillage. The drive from Tarapoto to Lejía/Shamboyacu (San Martín) takes approximately 3–4 hours through the beautiful Amazonian landscape.
Guests only need to book their flight to Lima and Tarapoto and a hotel in Tarapoto for the night before the retreat. All transportation between Tarapoto and the Healing Center is included and organized by our team.
