About This Journey
Experience our most complete healing journey with this 7-day Holistic Ayahuasca and San Pedro Retreat in Peru, thoughtfully designed to combine the profound spiritual work of three Ayahuasca ceremonies, the heart-opening wisdom of one San Pedro (Huachuma) ceremony, traditional indigenous healing practices, and restorative time in nature.
Located in the breathtaking Sacred Valley of Urubamba, near Cusco, this immersive retreat is limited to only four participants, creating a safe, intimate, and personalized environment for deep transformation.
Throughout your stay, you'll be guided by experienced native Shipibo and Inca shamans, supported by multilingual facilitators (English, Spanish, and French) who provide preparation, ceremony support, and post-retreat integration.
In addition to working with both sacred plant medicines, you'll enjoy a full-day excursion to the Lares Medicinal Thermal Baths, allowing your body and mind to relax, restore, and integrate your healing journey.
We highly recommend combining San Pedro with Ayahuasca, as these sacred medicines beautifully complement one another. While Ayahuasca invites deep introspection and emotional purification, San Pedro opens the heart, strengthens emotional balance, and helps integrate the insights gained throughout the retreat.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why combine Ayahuasca and San Pedro?
These two sacred medicines complement one another beautifully. Ayahuasca is traditionally associated with the feminine energy, inviting deep introspection, emotional healing, and spiritual purification.
