Our experience stands out because we offer a complete 2-day (1-night) program, designed to provide comfort, safety, and a respectful connection with the Amazon. The service includes pickup from centrally located hotels or the airport.

On the first day, a light diet-style lunch is provided as preparation, followed by a simple dinner before the ceremony. The day also includes gentle acclimatization activities, such as boat rides, artisanal fishing, relaxing in hammocks, and time to enjoy the natural surroundings. All river navigation is done in safe boats, accompanied by trained staff and support personnel.

The ceremony is guided by an experienced shaman, who leads the process in a careful and gradual manner, respecting the traditional nature of the practice.

On the second day, breakfast is served, followed by time to rest and the boat return to the city, allowing the experience to end calmly and smoothly.

What to expect

This experience takes place over 2 days (1 night) and includes lodge accommodation and meals.

Day 1:
On the first day, travelers are transferred from the city to the jungle lodge. Upon arrival, there is time to acclimate to the environment, rest, and enjoy a short introductory walk around the area. In the afternoon, a pre-ceremony orientation is provided, explaining the process, recommendations, and answering questions so participants feel calm and well-prepared.

At night, around 10:00 p.m., the traditional ayahuasca ceremony begins. It consists of one guided session led by an experienced shaman, conducted in a respectful and controlled setting, and may last until approximately 2:00 a.m.
Each person experiences the ceremony differently: some may have personal insights, inner sensations, or reflections, while others may not experience visions at all. This varies depending on personal factors and individual readiness.

After the ceremony, participants rest at the lodge.

Day 2:
The following morning, breakfast is served, followed by time to rest and integrate the experience. Around 2:00 p.m., the return boat trip to the city begins, with an estimated arrival in Iquitos at 5:00 p.m.
