Now in his early 40s, we believe Arturo is one of the most talented young Shipibo Maestros working in Peru today. Arturo holds an advanced technical knowledge of Shipibo healing and medicine plant dietas. He is an excellent teacher of the Shipibo culture, history and cosmovision. In Arturo’s powerful icaros, his beautiful melodies, his vitality, and his calm, self-possessed presence we see a person who carries the legacy of the ancient knowledge of his forebears.
Arturo lives with us at the Center and often visits his family in Atalaya. We are very happy to have his help as a lead resident Maestro, and to have his family in our hearts as our dear friends.
Maestra Lucinda is the eldest daughter of renowned Shipibo maestro Pascual Mahua Ochavano, born in the Shipibo village of Paoyhan or 'Water of the Pearls' located on the banks of the beautiful Ucayali river, north of Pucallpa.
Lucinda has been immersed in the medicine world of her family her entire life - since she was a tiny infant of 4 months old when her father opened her first learning dieta to bring her the advanced knowledge of the "tree of light" of her ancestors.
Now 57 years old, Lucinda is a confident and intelligent maestra, with a sweet and modest nature and a powerful reportoire of master plant dietas and advanced medicine knowledge. Her gentle Icaros belie a quiet power within, and her feminine energy of care and compassion evokes a feeling of being embraced in the calm flow of life. She is a tireless worker and a steadying presence in the intensity of the ceremony. Her Shipiba name Coshainbo means Powerful Woman.
Lucinda has worked with a variety of Ayahuasca centres in Iquitos and Pucallpa. She has 4 adult children and 8 grandchildren, and holds strong family values and ethics as well as a great sense of humour. We are very happy to have her presence, her knowledge, her laughter and her help at Caya Shobo.

Your private lodgings are nestled in forest nooks or close to amenities according to your preference. We have space for no more than 10-12 guests at the center. Each guest can choose according to his needs. There is a double bed, hammock, mosquito net, chair and desk and some shelves in each accommodation type. Some rooms and tambos have private bathrooms with a shower and a toilet and sink. A large kitchen and dining area invite you with a shared communal space for relaxing and talking. Since we are off-grid we have limited electricity from a generator throughout the day and our drinking water is brought in and is filtered for clean, safe use. We try to live connected to nature and are able to accommodate isolation diets for guests who would like to give it a try. We offer 3 accommodation types to suit your budget and comfort-level with jungle immersion. Rooms are for 1 person only. Standard Room (with private bathroom) Our standard accommodation is for a single guest in a spacious private room with double bed and your own small private bathroom. These simple adobe/concrete structures provide good general protection from the jungle elements, with mosquito netted windows and openings designed to allow airflow and coolness in the summer heat. The rooms are situated close to the common dining and ceremonial areas, and are nearby attractive ponds and plant medicine gardens.
