Ayahuasca Retreats in Peru
Turning inward can also be a way of remembering who we are. In silence, nature, and spiritual connection, we can find space to listen to ourselves, reflect, and become more conscious of our own path.
Many people come to an Ayahuasca retreat because they feel the need to slow down and look within. Some are seeking inner healing, others want to reconnect with themselves, understand important moments in their lives, deepen their spiritual connection, or simply step away from the noise of everyday life and listen more closely to what they carry within.
A retreat can offer a space for introspection, silence, and connection with nature, allowing you to approach your personal process with greater awareness and respect.

At Awkipuma, we understand that every person arrives with a different story, intention, and personal search. That is why we accompany each experience through Amazonian tradition while respecting your own pace, beliefs, and what has brought you to this path.

Everyone arrives for a different reason.
You may be seeking greater self-understanding, spiritual connection, personal clarity, or simply the opportunity to pause and look at your life from a different perspective.
You do not need to arrive with all the answers. A sincere intention can be enough to begin.
More Than a Ceremony: A Personal Process
The experience also includes the moments before and after each ceremony.
Preparation, rest, silence, and reflection can help you approach your experience with greater awareness and begin to understand what feels personally meaningful to you.
How Do You Choose the Right Retreat for You?
Perhaps you are going through a period of change, seeking inner healing, looking for greater clarity or a deeper connection with yourself, or simply wanting to dedicate a few days to your spiritual journey.
Every person arrives with a different story and intention. Choosing your retreat also means giving yourself the space and time you feel you need to approach this process with calmness and openness.
Support Throughout Your Experience
Before the retreat begins, we explain how the experience will unfold and give you space to ask questions and share any concerns you may have.
During the ceremonies, you will have close support, and afterward there is time to rest, talk, and reflect on what you experienced.
Amazonian Tradition and Respect for Each Person
Our ceremonial work preserves elements of the Amazonian tradition passed down through our family, including icaros and traditional practices used as part of the ceremonial accompaniment.
At the same time, we understand that every participant arrives with their own story, beliefs, and intentions.
For this reason, we accompany each person without imposing a particular experience or interpretation.

What a beautiful experience with such beautiful souls my heart is full, gratitude bounding. Thank you everyone for the experience.Posted on Google Gaston VeronTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Experiencia única , bueno todo nada malo para comentar, Gracias Alfonso y Ladimiro.Posted on Google Daphné TSASSISTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nous venons de faire une retraite de 3 jours et 2 nuits avec le chamane Bladimir Murayari. * Lieu magnifique, au milieu de la jungle. Pour y accéder, il faut compter 1 heure de bateau collectif, puis 1 heure de bateau avec le chamane. * Logement dans des cabanes avec moustiquaires, très rustiques, mais cela fait partie de l’expérience. C’était agréable de se réveiller entourés de toute cette végétation. * Sur la vidéo de présentation, on voit une sorte de rituel de purification dans une rivière, mais cela n’a pas eu lieu. Nous avons demandé à y aller et nous nous sommes simplement baignés. * La cérémonie a duré de 18 h à 21 h. Cela nous a paru trop court (nous étions encore sous les effets jusqu’à 1 h du matin dans nos chambres). Le deuxième soir, le chamane a accepté de prolonger la cérémonie à 4 heures. * La cérémonie en elle-même, avec les chants, était vraiment exceptionnelle. Le chamane sait ce qu’il fait et fait preuve d’une grande intensité. Un grand bravo à lui. * Pendant la cérémonie, trois personnes sont présentes pour nous encadrer et nous aider si besoin. * Le chamane Bladimir parle parfaitement anglais. * Il est vrai que nous passons les journées seuls dans nos cabanes, mais se retrouver seul avec soi-même n’est-il pas, finalement, le but de cette retraite ? Pour résumer notre expérience au centre Awkipuma, nous n’avons pas vraiment apprécié la communication avec Alfonso, qui nous a semblé très commerciale et peu personnalisée. En revanche, nous avons beaucoup aimé le lieu et nous pouvons affirmer que le chamane n’est pas un charlatan.Posted on Google Marta Alcázar MoraledaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Solo puedo tener palabras de agradecimiento con la familia Awkipuma. Nos acompañaron en todo el proceso con toda su generosidad y Don Ladimiro me ayudó a recibir uno de los mayores regalos con su experiencia y don. Solo puedo repetir, gracias y ojalá se vuelvan a cruzar los caminos.
