Brenda says, "I met Salvador in 2017 during a life-saving retreat in Cuenca, & followed him to Mindo with another life-saving retreat in October 2024. After the disaster of the 2024 election & the toxic political decline in the USA, I decided to move to Mindo so that I can work as a volunteer on a regular basis for upcoming retreats (Karma Yoga) with my first volunteer opportunity earlier this month (March 2025)."

Esther says, "I participated in multiple plant medicine ceremonies with Alma Healing Center including their 5 day ayahuasca retreat (worth it and very fairly priced! Mindo cloudforest is amazing!) as well as a few private ceremonies and a San Pedro ceremony / hike - I could not recommend them more! I was looking for a safe, inclusive and trustworthy place to drink medicine and I found it! I highly recommend them for solo female travelers or people that identify as LGBTQ+." See more
