Details of this retreat

Camino al Sol × Kapary is a special five-night retreat held December 9–14, 2026, at Yaogará Natural Reserve in the mountains of El Retiro, Antioquia.
The retreat follows Camino al Sol’s complete ceremonial process: arrival, purification, preparation, three traditional Colombian yagé ceremonies, integration, and closing. Kapary, a seven-member Kichwa-Andean ensemble based in Bogotá, will accompany two of the three ceremonies with live music.
This is not a concert or music festival. Camino al Sol’s established ceremonial leaders remain responsible for conducting the ceremonies and administering yagé. Kapary participates as an invited musical ensemble, bringing voices, strings, winds, and percussion into the ceremonial setting.
The retreat includes shared accommodation, meals prepared for the retreat process, transportation from Medellín or the airport, preparation, circles of word, plant baths and cleansing work, body care, ceremony support, and integration.
Participation is subject to application and medical screening. No payment is requested before approval. Once approved, a USD 500 deposit confirms your place. The remaining USD 500 is due 45 days before arrival; approvals received within 45 days require full payment.

I noticed this review email in my inbox a few days ago, not sure what words of praise to choose to convey my absolute appreciation- so I left it alone for a while. There are a few words that come to mind now.
Truth. Ancestry. Joy. Family. Stars. Deep earth. Cosmic heart. Mother and father. Brothers and sisters. True living. Garden. Ample giving. River of life. A smile on the face of light. A hug. Community of soul. – those words are a little bit to describe the feeling I got from the people who live on site and facilitate this amazing experience. The shamans, Diego, Andrea, and Samuel are exceptional masters.
The facility is amazing on every level, it is a large parcel that turned into a new earth—it’s a dream, and yet very down to earth. I think they need more pictures lol. They have private cabins, and also communal lodging. The cabins are high-end—I added a bit extra to stay in a private cabin that is totally 5 star lodging.
The ceremony is sacred and how you experience it is up to you- but the environment is nurturing and freeing.
I guess you can tell, I had a wonderful retreat. Don’t pass this one by- it is a must. I will be going there again.
