Paradise in the mountains of the Cloud Forest!
I stayed with Hayulima as a volunteer for their ten-day retreat in September of 2026, and the experience was one of the best I've ever had at a plant medicine retreat. Their staff is kind and caring, and they put their love into the food they make for us. The team - Salvador, Amalia, Diana, and Matthias - all welcomed me like a family member. The environment of support that they create is incredible, especially during ceremonies. I had the privilege of being at the retreat right before their annual Vision Quest, and so I got to meet people from all over the world who come to Hayulima for this event and to reconnect with the Hayulima family, and that's how I got to know them - as family. It is incredible to arrive at a place you have never been before and then leave knowing that the memories you created with others will stick with you forever. I am therefore so grateful for my time there, and for the love and kindness of everyone involved, as well as the other volunteers and the participants. This sanctuary is truly a place where people can go to get away from the world, to connect with others, and to experience the beautiful plant medicines of Ayahuasca and San Pedro. I recommend this place to anyone looking for a caring, supportive, and beautiful spiritual sanctuary!

A Wonderful Experience, Would Recommend without Hesitation
I had a truly wonderful time at Hayulima with the Hayulima family. I felt safe, well cared for, and carried throughout the experience. This was my first time with ayahuasca and san pedro plant medicines. The ceremonies were beautifully held and I hope to return again.
It is rare for me to make a recommendation without hesitation; I would wholeheartedly recommend Hayulima for the family, the nature, and the respect of the medicine.
I am gluten and dairy free and the food was wonderful and always prepared with attention to different dietary needs.

Amazing
As a solo female traveler, I was a bit apprehensive about trying a retreat center and plant medicine for the first time. I am so grateful to have found Hayulima. From start to finish I felt incredibly safe, nourished and supported, not to mention the location is stunning. Thank you to all the staff and volunteers for making this an unforgettable first experience.
