"I have visited this retreat on 2 occasions and both times, I felt extremely comfortable and was made to feel welcome from the beautiful finca and amazing surroundings which make you feel in a special place, as well as the warm care and attention from Doña Martha, Maria and all the family (including the wonderful pet dogs).
In both occasions, I had an incredibly powerful healing experience, completely different to what I expected and I left feeling healed and invigorated, in an awakening albeit challenging process during the “journey”. Afterwards there was a time for group and individual reflection where you are completely free to choose how you participate, whether you chat with other people or have some time alone.
Through the entire time I felt supported and in safe hands and if you are considering a Yajé experience, I could not recommend enough the retreat with Doña Martha and Maria as a positive and life changing experience."

"Hello beautiful soul searcher...search no more you have found it.
Trying to be to the point:
* best possible ayahuasca retreat. Strong and pure brew, very experienced sjamans.
* safest place possible. It’s a place of love, personal guidance the entire time, 2 sjamans + support all for only a small group up to max 6 people.
* a lot of personal additional guidance and tools for healing and insights. A beautiful place and a big present for yourself to keep with you all life long, even without the ceremonies.
About the experience itself: think “life changing” , “best personal investment” , “incredible healing that lasts”, “eye opening” , “ amazingly interesting”, “in a few days learn more about yourself and life than you probably learned so far in an entire life”.
Something like that...
I believe everyone’s experience and motivation is different, and though I would truly recommend anyone to do this, I won’t “advertise” it.
But if you do feel attracted to it, or interested or want to give it a try even when having doubts: then this place is simply one of the few very best places to it.
Well, you’ve already found this website...search no more dear, this is it.

"This place feels like home! Martha, María and Carolina do their best to make you feel safe, welcomed and loved. I feel so lucky to have it so close to my city."
"Doña Martha, Carolina and Maria are the most loving, wise, joyful and powerful medicine women.
The moment you enter their family property, you can feel that this is a space of healing, love and light. They welcomed us into their family with genuine love and provided individualized care the whole time we were there.
Our ceremonies involved various plant medicines and rituals that worked harmoniously to provide a profound healing experience that touched me on many levels. Participanting in ceremony during the day and being free to connect with mother nature in their magical garden infused my journeys with light even when I was confronted with struggles.
This experience has changed my life in the most beautiful and profound ways. I cannot recommend them enough!
Thank you! Gracias! Thank you! Gracias!"
"Rather than writing an entire novel about my experience, I'm going to do my best to keep it short, and simple. I was under the impression that I was going to fly to Colombia, take some medicine that was supposively magical, trip out in the garden, and hope for the best. I had no idea I was walking into the gates of heaven. Something about this place makes the hairs on my arm go up. Every single one of my retreat partners felt the same way. Martha and her daughters are no joke, they are there 100% for you, and will fight/work with you every day. This healing center is for those who want to work, and change their life's. If you come into this with an open mind, and follow exactly what they instruct you to do, you will be a changed person - forever. I not only broke every single addiction I had, but I reunited with my mother, and have absolutely no resentment, or grudges towards anyone. Since I got back home from this retreat, it's been one miracle/blessing after another. These facilitators made sure that when I left the healing center, I was ready to go back into the "real world" with enough strength, confidence, and clarity for whatever comes my way. I'm putting together a short film about Ayahuasca, and Martha's healing center, and posting it on social media, making this a tribute to this center. It took no more than 1 short video clip - talking about my experience here - to convince my mother to come back with me next year. Everyone that I've been talking to has told me that I don't look the same, sound the same, and that they cannot believe what this place has done to me. I will never forget what the medicine, and staff did for me. I owe everything to this beautiful family, and the medicine of course."
"I am so very grateful to have met Marta and Carolina. The 3 ceremonies my wife and I participated in were amazing and insightful and beautiful and seem to have left me much more peaceful, aware, and even-keeled. I feel like I've just pushed out a giant load of nonsense from my mind that had been a sneaky guest for years. The experience certainly became intense and challenging at times and it meant so much and felt so safe to have these two wise and caring women watching over us physically, emotionally, and spiritually. They both definitely tuned in and walked with us through difficult terrain, psychically and physically. Their home and farm are a living, breathing work of art, it flows beautifully down the lush jungle hillside. The sound of birds, insects, frogs, their animals, and a flowing river permeate the place in a way that sets a tempo and sticks in your head. The sound of rain on that tin roof during the ceremonies... intense! The whole setting, which is a especially separate section of the property, is a tremendous benefit. Every corner is a safe and beautiful place to do work with the plant medicine."
"I feel that the term "life changing" gets over used a lot in the self development & healing worlds, so I don't often use it. With that in mind, my Time with Donna Marta and Maria and their beautiful family was absolutely life changing.
I asked a friend who had been there before when I was booking and he said he's never felt so safe and looked after anywhere and he was absolutely spot on.
We were made so incredibly welcome by everyone and felt like part of the family from the minute we walked in - such beautiful, kind people.
The whole experience was just magical from beginning to the end. The ceremonies were so incredibly deep, powerful, insightful and scary at times. But even when they were scary - the love and support I was given was a amazing gift and enabled me to go so deep into the stuff that was holding me back in life.
I went on the retreat 5 months ago and purposely left my review for a while to see the difference it has made and all I can say is that the World looks and feels like a completely different place to what it did back in August. For the first time in my life I feel free to be a full expression of who I am.
As far as I'm concerned, Donna Marta, Maria and family are now my Columbian family - thank you so much guys - I love you dearly and I can't wait to see you all again.
It goes without saying that they have my highest recommendation - they are off the charts awesome <3 xxx"
"I visited Don Martha & Maria on the advice of a trusted friend, which turned out to be a very good decision. The grounds are incredible and the work Martha & Maria do is exquisite - this is a safe, magical place that I couldn't recommend more highly and it will be the only place I return to for Ayahuasca / Yage and recommend others to. If you are feeling called to the medicine, then make the effort and get to see Martha & Maria... you will find what you are looking for, or perhaps something you weren't even aware of :) Thank you Maria & Martha... so much love for you. - James"
"Dona Martha and her family are some of the kindest, most knowledgeable people about the plant medicine that you will ever meet! She has been working with these natural medicines for 40+ years and she truly is a magnificent healer. During my ceremonies, she gave me mineral baths and did crystal work. I received all of the life answers I was seeking during my time spent with Dona Martha and her daughter Maria. Words cannot express my gratitude. If the medicine is calling you, you will not find a better leader than Dona Martha! And her property is breathtaking! I cannot wait to go back."
"This was truly one of the most amazing, most important, most empowering experiences of my life. The ceremonies helped enlighten me with awareness of myself and my life - my body, thoughts, emotions, relationships - past, present and future, to a depth so profound like I've never experienced before. I released so much emotion that I had been storing in my body; never before had I felt such a release. The medicine connected me with nature in such a strong way that I would never have even imagined possible. I could physically feel my body gaining energy, like it like I was recharging my batteries. It was overwhelmingly beautiful - and yes, difficult at times; but always for an enlightening purpose. I am so grateful to have found this healing centre, and to have experienced the gift of this medicine with Martha and Maria's guidance. These two women are wonderful, caring, and full of laughter. They have created such a beautiful and comfortable environment that is perfect for this experience. I can't imagine a better place for it. Not a day goes by where I don't think about this experience (I did two ceremonies in July 2017). I will definitely be returning, hopefully next year!"
"Magical & Enchanting
A TRULY transformational EXPERIENCE
Marta & Maria loving - kindness exudes them, everything they touch they give out unconditional love.
I felt so safe, so looked after during my experiences.
I shall be returning next year to go even DEEPER!
Much love to you & all the family

"I can only express my gratitude to this center and the wonderful people that manage it. I've visited 4 times the center already, and I’m going to continue to visit them because I haven’t found a better spot to have this kind of experience in all the countries of the amazonic area.
Doña Martha, the mother shaman, is a admirable and profound master of ancient and traditional Ayahuasca wisdom. A powerful and lovely woman that combine the best of modern and traditional healing medicine. Her daughter, Maria, manages the center in a very special way, full of attention and expertise. The place is so beautiful and comfortable, full of good energies and each year it get's better and better thanks to all the love and caring that these people are investing in this piece of paradise. Thank you Martha, thank you Maria, for all the good that you share and spread on what you do in your healing center."
"I found my self at Doña Martha's healing center by chance, or so I thought the first time I layed my eyes on her beautyful finca, back in 2013. I do not beleive in chance anymore. The teachings I recieved, about dealing with my lights and shadows, I will carry with me for the rest of my life! Thank you Martha and Maria! The place is also really beautyfull, a small oasis in Gran Via! And they are a very warm and welcoming family! I've already gone back and intend to do so again."
"Martha and Jaime are good friends. We met years ago when I first came to take Yagé. Since that first time I developpes a deep connection with them and the place. I have been in several different ceremonies, met different Taitas, and always had a wonderful experience. I have taken my girlfriend, my uncle, my mom and my grandpa, as well as Friends. I highly recommend you to participate in the experience. The place is also beautiful and very clean, both physically and energywise. Take a dip in the cosmic ocean of your conciousness."
"Connecting with this beautiful place will forever hold a sacred place in my body, mind, & spirit.
I love these healers and amazing people.
Many Blessings and Gratitude to this place forever! ????"
"I have been looking for a healing center fulfilling the following: pure and clear energy, aligned with the Truth and SAFE!
And this place has it all!
I get often asked where to work with plant medicine, and with my experience with Abuela Marta & Maria, I can without doubt RECOMMEND IT!
The way this family grew up in the tradition and how much respect the pay to the medicine, is so important! The preparation of the medicine is for them sacred, they do it during 3 days of ceremony, and that's the way it should be and it makes a huge difference to other (irresponsable) places around...
We now that working with plant medicine brings a lot of personal work, self-reflection and it varies between person to person, but regarding the work of the facilitators, Abuela Marta & her daughter Maria do the best! They are responsable, they pay respect to the medicine and they care a lot about every visitor! And something very important, with Abuela's Marta experience, Grace And dedication, she can manage the situations that come up during process and one feels in safe hands.
I'm deeply grateful for all during our staying with my family and will see you soon again!
with infinite love, Liliana"
"Una experiencia que va mas alla de cualquier expectativa , con la compañia y guia de la abuelita martha, el tomar ayahuasca se convierte en un momento magico y enriquecedor , los invito a que compartan esta sagrada medicina al lado de una mujer con conocimiento de los rituales ancestrales los cuales ayudan a expandir y hacer mas amena la vivencia. Gracias por todo y bendiciones para todos <3"
"I have 14 years old, but I drunk Ayahuasca when I was a little boy, my father told me, around 2 years old, so I think that drink Yage with Martha, my grandma have been something wonderful. The last time I felt my spirit go out of my body and fly to other place, but in all moment the power of my grandma was protecting me, when she plays her harmonica, my spirit would find protection and peace. The ceremony is something sublime and extraordinary. Just coming you can understand all that I talking about."
"Fuí invitada por mi hijo, con la expectativa de vivir una experiencia especial de conocimiento espiritual y de sanación. He participado en cuatro ceremonias sagradas y la última vez en compañía de mis dos hijos y nieta, tener esta vivencia con los seres que más amo, es grandioso! gracias a ellos por incluirme en este hermoso plan.
En este Centro Sagrado encontré una linda familia, la Abuelita Martha, quien es una persona amorosa, comprensiva y que da todo de sí para que todos que vamos a ella, podamos disfrutar al máximo la mejor experiencia, su carisma, responsabilidad y sabiduría , además del hermoso espacio que nos ofrece en su finca construida paso a paso con todo el amor, hace que uno se sienta en un paraíso como realmente lo es.
Gracias Martica, María, Don Jaime, quien discretamente nos acompaña y aporta su grano de arena para una estadía inolvidable; gracias también a Nelson quien calladamente también interviene con sus labores en la finca para que todo salga muy bien. En resumen, es el mejor lugar que hemos encontrado para vivir la maravillosa magia del yagé. Bendiciones a todos!"
"Is difficult to describe all that you feel, you can fly to another dimension, left your body and transform your mind and clean the aura. Dona Martha is a powerful mother, she knows how to help you, play extraordinary the harmonic, and this music give you pace and safe when the Ayahusca is working and cleaning. The place is unbelievable, you can breathe, rest and eat in a familiar environment. Flowers, fruits, water, grass, all is fantastic, like a piece of spiritual paradise. Do not hesitate to go there. Martha always has a lovely huge for us. I will be back. With all my love for her."
"Drinking Yage with Martha was a unique spiritual experience, indescribable and of total healing, body, mind and spirit connected with yourself and with nature. In the same way, the treatment of her and her family make you feel part of them. The food was delicious and the ceremonies unforgettable. Do not hesitate a moment to attend a retreat in this wonderful place.
Martha and her daughter Maria are waiting for you to help and receive you warmly.
It is an unforgettable trip, a piece of paradise very close to Bogota."
"Si estas buscando paz contigo mismo y con el mundo, este es el lugar que debes visitar. Martha no solo sabe lo que hace, sino que esta siempre pendiente de ti, sino que entrega todo su conocimiento y cariño para protegerte y que la ceremonia sea algo de nunca olvidar. El lugar en medio de la montaña, cuenta con paisajes extraordinarios, la cercanía con la naturaleza es única. No duden un instante en visitarla."
"This is the reason I went all the way from Europe to Colombia, to experience the beauty of healing through yagé with these two beautiful hearts, Dona Martha and her daughter Maria. I definitely got more than I was expecting. I was recovering from a broken leg from an accident I suffered four months ago back home. My first ceremony was both cleansing from the negative energies in my body and emotional healing, complete with chakra healing crystals and a flower bath. The second ceremony was sublime beyond any words or description. Their home is the perfect place for taking the medicine. To say the garden is beautiful is an understatement. You have to see it with your own eyes. Pictures do not do it any justice. The food prepared by the family is just great. I felt like part of the family while I was there and I don't even speak Spanish. Maria, the daughter is fluent in English and acts as a translator, enabling easy communication with Dona Martha and the rest of the family. She is a beautiful soul, just like her mother. You are guaranteed to leave the retreat with a heart filled with joy, happiness and new perspectives."
"I had one of the most magical moments of my life! The cerimonies are definitely to be remembered. You can feel the love and care Dona Martha and Maria put in making you feel safe and loved in each cerimony. You can definitely feel their presence and love all over the retreat centre. I am definitely coming back and recommend these beautiful place."
"I can highly recommend this place! Great people, great property and an unbelievable experience! the experience itself it s not fun, it s hard work but completly worth it! :) difficult to explain - just try it out, you found the right place ;)"
"It is impossible to describe just in a few words the work of Martha and María in Ayahuasca healing center-Colombia.
But trust me... The Ancestral Medicine + The guide and protection of Martha & María + The beautiful place (like paradise, which is filled with a lot of medicine plants too ) + The flow of a river waterfall, nature and a lot of elements in one place - built with care and love..
For me it's the perfect place for a "Safely landing" of this Yagé experience, that you "reader" should have the chance to experience, too.
It is my only and recommendation coming from my heart to you. This is the place you have to arrive to."
"I had the most amazing experience of my life courtesy of this family's retreat. The setting, in the mountains outside bogota, is beautiful; the accommodation is very comfortable; the food very tasty, and most importantly, the yage ceremonies took place in a safe supportive space, courtesy of Martha the healer, and her english speaking daughter Maria. I have no complaints. My second 'journey' with yage was nothing short of profound. I will be back!!"
"Simply put -- wow! I'd rate this in the top 2 most incredible experiences of my life, yes it was that good. These beautiful souls are here for one reason and one reason only. That's to help you see so far beyond what you've every been able to see before. Their care, love, and immense amount of experience in facilitating these profound experiences shines through. I left there feeling like family and taken care of for my entire week long visit. I'd recommend this for anyone who is interested into a deep dive into their spirit, soul, and personal development work.
Love you!"
"What an amazing experience. After I had 2 sisters and a brother in law return from the retreat and told me about their experiences, I knew it was for me. One sister returns cancer free. I was able to discover many things about myself, and release negative emotions I had carried for many years. It was an experience of a lifetime. Donna Martha took excellent care of us. I have had 7 family members participate and everyone had a major shift in their life as a result. I will return again."
"My first trip to Colombia I wanted to experience native Amazonian plant medicine after a recommendation from a friend. I am so lucky to have found this place run by Dona Marta and her awesome family. The healing that they provide is truly powerful and transformational. Everything from the grounds to the accommodation to the food was incredible. But most important, the love, caring, dedication and personal attention provided by the whole family truly made this experience for me so special and magical. I have felt much stronger, healthier, and rejuvenated in my mind, body, and spirit. Thank you Dona Marta, Maria, Carolina and Jaime for sharing your time with me! You are all truly beautiful souls."
