Tour Overview

3-Day Ayahuasca Retreat in Sacred Valley, Cusco, Peru

Immerse yourself in a 3-day transformational retreat in Cusco, Peru, blending traditional Ayahuasca and San Pedro (Wachuma) ceremonies with ancestral Andean healing and spiritual cleansing. This retreat is designed for people seeking emotional balance, spiritual insight, and deep inner healing in a supportive and culturally respectful environment.

Itinerary — 3 Days

Your journey begins with scheduled pick-up from Cusco and transfer to our peaceful retreat center located in a quiet natural setting outside the city. The change of environment is intentional — stepping away from urban noise allows your body and mind to begin slowing down.

Upon arrival, you will be welcomed by our facilitators and ceremonial team. After settling into your accommodation, we gather for an opening circle. During this orientation session, we explain the structure of the retreat, safety guidelines, energetic preparation, and the importance of intention-setting. Each participant is invited to share (if they wish) their purpose for being here.

In the afternoon, we begin with a gentle cleansing ritual using medicinal water and ancestral techniques designed to prepare your energetic field. This process helps clear emotional and mental blockages before working with the plant medicine.

As night falls, we enter the ceremonial space for the Ayahuasca ceremony. The environment is calm, protected, and guided by experienced facilitators. The ceremony includes:

Opening prayers and energetic protection
Sacred chants (icaros)
Individual guidance throughout the experience
Support for emotional release and inner exploration

The ceremony typically lasts several hours. Participants may experience introspection, emotional cleansing, visions, or deep reflection. After the ceremony, time is given for rest and quiet integration.

Overnight at the retreat center.

The second day begins slowly, allowing your body to integrate the previous night’s experience. After a light breakfast (according to the retreat diet), we gather for a morning sharing circle. This space allows participants to reflect on their Ayahuasca journey in a supportive and confidential environment.

Later in the morning, we begin preparation for the San Pedro (Wachuma) ceremony. Unlike Ayahuasca, Wachuma works in a gentler, heart-centered way and is typically experienced during daylight.

The ceremony may include:

Breathwork or guided meditation
Intention reconnection
Sacred music and natural silence
Walking meditation in nature

San Pedro is traditionally known as the “heart-opening medicine.” Many participants describe feelings of clarity, gratitude, emotional release, and connection with nature.

Throughout the afternoon, time is given for integration, journaling, rest, or quiet contemplation.

In the evening, we conduct a Pachamama (Mother Earth) offering ceremony. This ritual expresses gratitude to nature and symbolically grounds the insights received during the retreat.

Overnight at the retreat center.

The final day focuses on grounding and integration.

We begin with a morning sharing circle where participants can reflect on the overall experience of both plant medicines. Facilitators help translate symbolic experiences into practical insights for daily life.

A gratitude ritual is performed to close the energetic space opened during the retreat formally. This ceremony honors the plants, the ancestral traditions, and each participant’s personal process.

The final integration session provides guidance on:

Post-retreat diet recommendations
Emotional processing
Practical tools for continued growth
How to integrate insights into everyday life

After lunch, we prepare for departure. Transportation is provided back to Cusco, arriving in the afternoon.

Galapagos Islands: Explore a Natural Wonder

The Galapagos Islands, a remote archipelago in the Pacific Ocean, are a mesmerizing natural wonder that captivates the imagination. Known for their unique biodiversity and as a pivotal location in Charles Darwin’s formulation of the theory of evolution, these islands offer a unique glimpse into the power of nature and time. Journey with me as we explore the unparalleled beauty and significance of the Galapagos Islands, uncovering the rich tapestry of life that calls this place home. The Galapagos Islands are not merely a destination; they are a living laboratory of evolution. This volcanic archipelago consists of 13 main islands and numerous smaller islets, each offering a distinct array of species and landscapes. From the moment you set foot on these shores, you’ll encounter an astonishing array of wildlife, from the famous Galapagos tortoises to the elusive Galapagos shark. Galapagos: Cradle of Evolution and Living Laboratory of Nature The islands’ isolation and unique environmental conditions have given rise to a plethora of endemic species found nowhere else on Earth. It was here that Charles Darwin, aboard the HMS Beagle in 1835, was inspired to develop his groundbreaking theory of natural selection. The Galapagos remain a testament to the power of adaptation and evolution, providing an invaluable window into the processes that shape life on our planet. Darwin’s observations of finches and other animals led him to consider how species adapt to their environments. This insight was revolutionary, challenging the prevailing thought of the time. The Galapagos finches, with their varied beak shapes, demonstrated how species could evolve to exploit different ecological niches. These islands continue to be a focal point for research, offering scientists a natural laboratory to study evolution in real-time. While the natural wonders of the Galapagos are undoubtedly the main draw, the islands also boast a rich cultural and historical heritage. The islands were initially discovered by Bishop Tomás de Berlanga in 1535, and their name, “Galapagos,” is derived from the Spanish word for tortoise, reflecting the abundant population of these majestic creatures. The human history of the Galapagos adds layers of intrigue to their natural allure. Early visitors included pirates and whalers, who left their mark on the islands. The Galapagos played a strategic role during World War II as a base for the United States, further entwining their history with global events. Today, the islands are a UNESCO World Heritage site, recognized for their natural and cultural significance. Conservation efforts: Conservation…
