Maya Retreat Iquitos

In the rainforest near the city of Iquitos sits Maya retreat where we offer traditional Ayahuasca, San Pedro and Sapo/Kambo Ceremonies in a beautiful rainforest setting. We have an amazing natural spring water pond for swimming, a mud bath, individual and shared traditional style rooms as well as double rooms for couples, nutritious food and much more. We aim to offer you a safe, comfortable and relaxed environment for you to experience the sacred plant Ayahuasca and the other plant medicines we work with. We are a family run centre with first hand experience of the healing potential and spiritual enlightenment this beautiful plants have to offer. Here at Maya, we consider ourselves very privileged to be the bridge between yourself and Mother Ayahuasca. OUR SHAMAN: Isidoro Conde Acho, of the Yagua people, was born in Masan on the river Napo one hour from Iquitos. He is 30 years old and has been studying and working with Ayahuasca for the past twelve years and is an Ayahuasquero vegetalista. Besides their work with Ayahuasca, Vegetalistas gain their power to cure from the ?vegetales?, the native plants of the region. In order to work in this way a Vegetalista will undertake many different plant diets, in which they will spend a certain amount of time in solitude ingesting the plant itself and a minimal amount of plain food. This allows them to gain a deep relationship and alliance with the spirit of the plant. These plant spirits will then help and guide them in their healing work. The more plants they diet, the more powerful their healing will become and Isidoro is a dedicated partner to the spirit world of the vegetales. Isidoro has been regularly dieting Amazonian plants for the full twelve years alongside his progressive work with Ayahuasca as well as researching further plants and has a great breadth of knowledge on this matter. This deep knowledge has lead to him successfully healing people from his community and visitors for a number of years. Isidoro is a hard working, loving and humble family man and has been part of our lives in Peru and of our Maya team since day one, we feel very privileged to have him working at our centre. At Maya we have various options of length of stay for you to choose from depending on your needs. 10 days is the shortest length offered as we feel this is really the least time possible to make significant progress in yourself and with Ayahuasca.
