An 18 day retreat begins on January 5th featuring two weeks at the jungle camps of two authentic indigenous healers, called curanderos. Participants will attend ayahuasca ceremonies, recieve plant treatments, take part in deep diets, and learn from Carlos, the guide for the retreat, about the various aspects of traditional healing within plant spirit medicine in the Amazon.
Located just outside of Iquitos, Peru, the two camps are each about an hour and a half away, which includes a half hour hike. They are remote, tranquil, and gorgeous. The days before, in between, and after the two weeks with the curanderos feature trips to the local zoo to get in touch with the animals, to a botanical garden to better get to know the plants, to an indigenous tribe to understand the Amazon culture, a Butterfly conservatory to understand metamorphosis, to an indigenous culture museum, and a tour of Iquitos´ plant medicine market and the floating village of Belen.
