About this Retreat
Details of this retreat
Retreat Details:
Upon arrival to our Sacred Valley Center, which is nestled in the mountains on the expansive banks of the Urubamba River, you are greeted by our loving staff of facilitators and healers. This center is a community of loving healers.
The serene and mystical Sacred Valley of Peru is considered one of the most energetically powerful places on Earth. We find that simply being in the presence of the ancient Andean mountains, historical archeological zones, and crisp air, offers wisdom and deep nourishment for the mind, body, and spirit.
Experience the sacred healing power of plant medicines, awaken to your inner truth through witnessing and exploring the beautiful natural Andean landscape, and cultivate a sense of mindfulness and appreciation for yourself as part of it all.
At Arkana Spiritual Center, we work closely with indigenous shamans and our staff of healers to bring you a comprehensive program deeply rooted in the traditional practices of ancestral medicine. We offer a safe, caring, and effective space to begin your journey of transformation, helping you every step of the way as you uncover the energetic roots of any trauma, negative thought patterns, unhealthy habits, or spiritual imbalance.
Our carefully constructed program optimizes your healing by incorporating Eastern and modern philosophies for long-term integration into a modern world.
Following your time with us at Arkana, you will return to life back home with a new perspective and a deeper understanding of yourself and your truth, and will be equipped with the skills and tools necessary to integrate your experience into your everyday life.

Life Changing
If you are trying to decide if you should attend a retreat with Arkana, do it!
I was going through a very difficult time in my life and I decided to take a steps in my healing. I attended Arkana in Yucatan and I will say I learned a lot and mostly things that are already in me but I had forgotten about. I know that this is only the beginning of my journey but I feel a sense of peace and calmness in my heart that I had not felt in a long time. Thank you Jose, Ariel, Pepino, Billy, Valeria, Maestra. You guys are an amazing team and made me feel completely safe throughout my time there.

Safest plant medicine space around!
I've sat in numerous plant medicine spaces and the space at Arkana is the cleanest, safest, and more pure I have come across. I chose Arkana after having a couple of less-than-good experiences at other centers, and I was looking for a space where I'd be accepted and loved for who I was, and one that allowed my process to unfold exactly as it needed to. To say Arkana met my expectations is an understatement. The facilitators are fantastic -- so supportive and kind and passionate about what they do. The shamans are so authentic and connected to their tradition and the ceremony space they created was sacred. On top of all that, the accommodations are comfortable and clean. And the food -- even though it's served in accordance with the Ayahuasca diet (no added sugar/salt, red meat, pork, excessive oils, etc.) is delicious and nourishing. Working with Ayahuasca is not something to be taken lightly or treated irresponsibly. If you want a safe and supportive space where you can transform and open to who you truly are, this is the place 100%. I feel part of the Arkana family now -- and it really is a family -- and will for sure be back when the medicine calls me again.

A Truly Transformative Experience at Arkana Spiritual Retreat
My time at Arkana gave me exactly what I needed. From the moment I arrived, I felt completely supported and cared for by the incredible team of facilitators. They were warm, genuine, and deeply invested in everyone’s well-being. By the end of the retreat, they truly felt like friends. The shamans were equally wonderful, bringing such wisdom and heart to the ceremonies, which were powerful, moving, and beautifully guided.
The facilities were stunning! The rooms, the malocas, and the pool all felt like peaceful sanctuaries surrounded by nature. Every activity offered added something special to the experience, whether it was a fun jungle walk, a visit to the nearby village, or a calming yoga and sound healing session.
What really stood out to me was how thoughtfully everything was organized. Every detail seemed carefully planned, and everything flowed seamlessly. I always felt safe and supported, especially during the ceremonies, which allowed me to surrender fully to the process.
And the food was absolutely amazing! Every meal was nourishing, fresh, and delicious, clearly prepared with love and care.
Arkana is a place where transformation truly happens in a setting of beauty, safety, and warmth. I left feeling lighter, more connected, and deeply grateful for this unforgettable experience.

The place to be!
If you feel called to the ayahuasca experience then look no further than Arkana. You won’t find a better staff, more caring people, and better food in the entire southern hemisphere.
This is the place to go, the birthplace of ayahuasca. No matter how far you travel you will feel at home, surrounded by people who truly wish the best for you. Love is the watchword; love is all; and you’ll feel it and carry it with you long after your stay at Arkana. Blessings await!

Magical journey!
No matter what brought you here to read reviews I am excited you are reading mine! My time at Arkana was nothing short of life changing. My group was 20 amazing humans all coming together to heal and grow - it was not too many people or distracting during ceremony, in case you might be thinking that. Everyone came for different reasons - addiction, grief, trauma, spiritual growth…. and we all received so much!
I ended up splurging on one of their new jungle suites and it was spectacular! I loved having my private space including a shower and restroom of my own.
Everything from the moment you arrive until the moment you leave is perfectly planned with love and intention! ALL of the staff pour their hearts into your healing journey, it is incredible! The traditions, the music, the plant baths!
I am a month out and still feeling my experience deep in my soul!! If you are feeling called and have gotten this deep into your research, trust that you are meant to be a part of the Arkana family, you will not regret it, I promise!
I did one week in the jungle and then did the 4 day extension to the Sacred Valley which was also magical!
A few tips - Be sure to bring some things for the kiddos in the village next door, clothes, toys, school supplies - they appreciate anything and you get to visit them! Treat yourself to a massage, it is so rejuvenating during a week of medicine. If you are feeling called, book it ;)
