Traditional Ayahuasca Retreats In Peru
Experience the transformative power of Ayahuasca in the Amazon Jungle
Empowering People to Empower Themselves
At La Medicina, we empower people to empower themselves by providing a safe container to experience the healing that Ayahuasca has to offer in a traditional environment. We work with Shipibo healers who have been working with Ayahuasca and other Master Plants for many years.
Our Ayahuasca retreat center is located next to the majestic Cordillera Escalera National Park, which spans 150,000 hectares. La Medicina is at the bottom entrance of this National Park and serves as a gateway to the Amazon rainforest. We are committed to ecological stewardship of this invaluable natural reserve, integrating modern and sustainable comforts to ensure a deeply enriching experience in a setting of safety and tranquility. Located 20 minutes from Tarapoto, Peru, our center offers an off-grid escape, fostering a profound connection with nature.
We offer an intimate retreat experience, accommodating small groups of up to 12 people in a pristine environment devoid of light and EMF pollution. Our facilities are fully sustainable, featuring solar-powered lighting, hot showers, and spring-fed water systems. Guests can enjoy modern amenities, including flush toilets and elegantly simple accommodations, with the option to stay in an Eco-Tambo.

Testimonials
Sophie, New Zealand
“Coming to La Medicina was the best decision I made to becoming a better person.
I sat with the medicine four years ago in Costa Rica, but strongly felt called to experience it in the Amazon jungle, so I ventured to La Medicina. They provide all the comforts while allowing a fully immersive experience in the jungle where the medicine is from.
The space is beautiful, clean, safe and deeply connected to nature. The facilitators are supportive, compassionate and hold space effectively, allowing you to grow. The healers and medicine are powerful agents of transformation. A lot goes into preparing you for the experience but also integration.
I am so happy I chose La Medicina, being without technology in a peaceful space allowed me to go deeper. The team is very grounded, enabling a more personal experience.
The food they served was nourishing and delicious. My journey was beyond profound and life-changing. I am unable to articulate this incredible experience as words do not do it justice…”

“My experience at La Medicina was incredibly transformative and healing.
From the moment I arrived, the energy of the place and all the retreat facilitators radiated a homely sense of authenticity, connection and tranquility.
A special thanks goes to Kasey and Vlad for leading with love and holding space in ceremony. They have a wonderfully unique way of showing a genuine interest in connecting with each individual throughout the retreat experience.
I felt very seen, heard and valued as their commitment to providing a safe and supportive container was paramount.
To have had the opportunity to participate in authentic medicine ceremonies with Shipibo healers was definitely worth traveling from Australia!
Disconnecting from technology and reconnecting to nature in the healing frequencies of the Amazon jungle of Peru in my opinion, is likely one of the best (if not the best) ways to openly receive…”

“I am writing this testimonial with a heart brimming with gratitude and a soul forever changed by the transformative experience of my 10-day retreat in the heart of the jungle. Traveling all the way from Munich, Germany, I embarked on this journey with great anticipation, not fully knowing what awaited me in the lush embrace of the jungle.
What unfolded over the course of those days was nothing short of magical. Beyond the powerful ceremonies, it became evident that La Medicina is not just a space for rituals; it is a sanctuary for profound self-discovery. The workshops were orchestrated with unmatched professionalism, seamlessly blending expertise with deep respect for the medicine.
The facilitators demonstrated an extraordinary sensitivity to the needs of each participant, creating an atmosphere of trust and understanding.
The ceremonies, held with great reverence by the La Medicina team, were a journey into the depths of my being. Each one revealed layers of myself I hadn’t encountered before…”
Tara, United States
“This was my 3rd retreat working with Ayahuasca. I felt that the healing was deeper and stronger at La Medicina – possibly due to a variety of factors – the Maestro and Maestra and their many years of plant dietas, being in the jungle in Peru and also disconnecting from the world for the retreat as it’s off grid.
The place is beautiful – how amazing it is to go off into the jungle ! The accommodations are wonderful and each room is unique and beautiful. I loved my space and hammock and found the bathroom and shower at the maloca super accessible for my needs.
The group size at this center is really small – max of 12 which is wonderful.
Kasey and Vlad, the facilitators are welcoming and so very knowledgeable about Ayahuasca.
Our yoga teacher was from South Africa. I loved that she suited our classes to the participants’ energy. The two gals who prepare the meals are lovely and you’ll eat really well while you’re there! A mix of traditional dishes of fish or chicken, grains and veggies…”
