Couldn't wish for a better retreat!
My first time ever on such a retreat. I did research and this one stood out because it had great reviews, and because it didn't feel as commercial as many of the other retreats I came across. So I took the plunge and booked. Honestly, it was the best decision ever!
The venue was new, intimate and with soul. Beautiful grounds, clean facilities. The team, led by Oliver, Kevin, Luna were truly wonderful. So approachable, warm, caring. You almost get the impression they're like a family that's inviting you into their home for a cup of tea. As for the journey itself, wonderful. Led by Sergio, it was all orchestrated so well.
Last but not least, a huge shout out to the two beautiful dogs who kept us company over the course of the four days.

Unique powerful and beautiful healing
If Ayahuasca calls to you, this is the team you want to help you through the encounter. They are experienced, good humored, and genuinely caring. The ceremonies can get surprisingly intense but they know various methods to manage the energy of each individual and how to guide the collective energy through the use of beautiful music. Outside of the ceremonies: the food is great, the activities are restorative, and the location is beautiful. Struggle to see myself going to any other retreat in the future.

An Experience I’ll Carry With Me - WHOLESOME
I recently attended an Ayahuasca retreat with them, and it was truly a transformative experience. The facility was located in a gorgeous place with an amazing view, far from any noise and surrounded by the sounds of nature. The retreat center was impeccably clean, and the facilitators felt like family, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere that made everything go smoothly and easily.
The food was delicious, healthy, and diverse, catering to all dietary needs. The schedule was beyond perfect, offering much more than we paid for, including meditation, yoga, sound healing, ice baths, massages, and more. It was not just an Ayahuasca retreat but a full package that you won't find anywhere else.
I am so happy and grateful that I chose to do it with these amazing people. I will definitely go back!

What a Powerful man
its almost hard to put in words but Sergio has an innate capability to feel the energy of the room, it's almost as if it's a 6th sense. He is so connected to each and everyone of the participants that you can feel his energy while on the ayahuasca. Every time he sings or plays an instrument I feel like he knows exactly when to do it at the right time. It would enhance my experience helping me go deeper inside myself. Healing music is what I call it The energetic cleansing I did at the end of the ceremony was nothing short of an exorcism... im not a religious person but I could literally feel the negativity, the shame, the guilt everything I didn't want in my life peeling off of my aura... I'll be forever grateful for having met Sergio and for all the great work he does!

A wise and enlightened friend
Oliver has been a really great guide for the whole experience, you can see he has been very mindful about working with the plant medicine since the beginning of his journey. I always love the insights he shares to help me go deeper with my connection with myself and the ayahuasca. Even if he is quite a bit younger than me I feel like he's so much more wiser and has motivated me to go deeper in my self work because I feel so inspired by him.
