Details of this retreat
This retreat is a journey for the adventurous spirit,an intense program that blends the challenge of the Salkantay trek with the deep healing of Ayahuasca ceremonies and the awe of visiting Machu Picchu.
The experience begins with the grounding Salkantay trek, where participants face both physical and personal challenges. This path is not for everyone,it requires prior hiking experience, good physical condition, and an openness to step beyond comfort. The trek becomes a powerful preparation, softening the ego and opening the heart for the work ahead.
From the mountains, the journey continues into the rainforest, where participants enter a safe and intimate space for 3 consecutive Ayahuasca ceremonies guided by Shipibo shamans, with the support of a psychotherapist and Ayahuasca integrator. Here, the inner adventure begins,bringing the challenges of the trek into dialogue with the medicine for profound healing and transformation.
The retreat culminates with a guided visit to the magical citadel of Machu Picchu, closing the circle of adventure, spirit, and self-discovery.
✨ Please note: Our retreats run from March 15th to November 15th. Reservations must be made at least one month in advance to allow proper preparation and ensure every guest is fully suitable. We host only small groups to provide a safe and personalized environment. Preparation and integration are guided before, during, and after the retreat,on both physical and emotional levels—providing continuous support throughout your journey.
