3 day Ayahuasca Retreat Peru

This 3-day retreat is designed for guests who want a more profound healing journey than a single ceremony can offer.

Overview

Across three days, participants take part in two traditional ayahuasca ceremonies led by experienced Shipibo-Konibo shamans from the Peruvian Amazon. In between, there is time to rest, reflect, and integrate the experience in the peaceful setting of Peru’s Sacred Valley.

The retreat creates space to step away from everyday distractions and turn inward with full attention. Many guests find that the second ceremony brings deeper insight, helps release emotional blockages, and offers greater clarity about their lives.

Throughout the stay, bilingual facilitators offer individualized support so participants feel safe, comfortable, and well prepared at every stage.

Whether your intention is emotional healing, spiritual growth, or a deeper connection with yourself, this retreat provides an authentic and supportive environment for exploring the transformative potential of ayahuasca.

Join us in the Sacred Valley and experience one of Peru’s most respected traditional ayahuasca retreats.
