About this Retreat
Sergio is our lead guide and a true member of the Achuar people. The son of Shaman Don Ramón Arahuanaza, the Elder “Apu” (Chief) and founder of the local Achuar community Nueva Jerusalen, he has inherited a profound knowledge of the medicinal plants that grow in the rainforest. His experience and ancestral wisdom allow our visitors to experience an authentic connection with Amazonian culture and nature, ensuring educational, safe, and enriching experiences.
Sergio learned from his father the art of interpreting visions during Ayahuasca ceremonies, guiding participants with care and respect so they can understand the messages of this sacred experience.
His ability to combine practical knowledge of the rainforest with a spiritual understanding of Achuar traditions enriches each encounter, offering visitors a holistic experience of learning, introspection, and deep connection with the Amazon.
