Deep in the Peruvian Amazon, where the river breathes with the forest and the night is alive with ancestral songs, ayahuasca has been used for centuries as a sacred medicine for healing, clarity, and spiritual awakening. At Awkipuma Spiritual Center, this tradition is not presented as an attraction or trend, but as a living practice rooted in respect, safety, and lineage.
Our ayahuasca retreats in Peru are designed for those who feel the call to go deeper—beyond surface healing—into a space of true inner transformation. Located near Iquitos, Awkipuma offers an intimate and protected environment where participants can disconnect from the noise of the modern world and reconnect with themselves through the wisdom of the Amazon.
The Spirit of Ayahuasca in the Amazon
Ayahuasca is not simply a plant medicine; it is a teacher. In the Amazonian worldview, the medicine opens a dialogue between the human heart and the intelligence of nature. Each ceremony is a process of learning—about oneself, about unresolved emotional wounds, and about one’s connection to life.
At Awkipuma, ceremonies are guided with humility and experience. We work with small groups to ensure that each participant receives personal attention, energetic protection, and emotional support throughout the journey. This is especially important for those who are new to ayahuasca or who come seeking healing from anxiety, emotional trauma, or a lack of purpose.
Why Choose an Ayahuasca Retreat in Iquitos, Peru?
Iquitos is one of the most important gateways to authentic ayahuasca traditions in Peru. Unlike destinations shaped by mass tourism, the Amazon around Iquitos remains deeply connected to its ancestral roots. Here, the medicine grows where it belongs, and the ceremonies are held in harmony with the jungle itself.
Awkipuma is located in a peaceful Amazonian community, surrounded by forest, river, and medicinal plants. This natural setting plays a vital role in the healing process. Participants often describe feeling held by the jungle—supported not only by the facilitators but by the living ecosystem itself.
A Safe and Personal Approach to Ayahuasca Healing
Safety is not optional; it is sacred. At Awkipuma, every retreat begins with careful preparation and guidance. We take time to understand each participant’s intentions, physical condition, and emotional state. This allows us to offer a responsible and respectful ayahuasca experience, aligned with traditional knowledge and modern awareness.
Because we work with small groups, the atmosphere remains calm and contained. There is space for silence, integration, and personal reflection—elements that are often lost in larger, more commercial retreats. Our role is not to push experiences, but to hold a safe container where the medicine can work naturally.
Healing Beyond the Ceremony
An ayahuasca retreat is not only about the ceremony itself. True healing continues in the days that follow, through rest, nature connection, and conscious integration. At Awkipuma, participants are supported before, during, and after the ceremonies, allowing insights to settle gently into everyday life.
Many people arrive feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or stuck in repetitive emotional patterns. Through the combination of ayahuasca, the Amazonian environment, and attentive guidance, they often leave with renewed clarity, emotional release, and a deeper sense of meaning.

In the heart of the jungle, guided by ancestral wisdom and held by the living forest, the journey inward begins.
