Welcome

We work with the traditional medicine of the Amazon, with all the love and respect for the tradition of our ancestors.

We offer humanity the opportunity to get to know the sacred medicine from the amazon Yagé or Ayahuasca, for the honest seekers, who are on the path of awakeing, healing and finding their own path in life.


Our centre is located in the jungle city Puerto Maldonado, in the region of Madre de Dios of southern Perú, 30min by flight from Cuzco.


Our commitment with THE medicine of Ayahuasca is profound, sincere and responsible, this is the way we have learned how to use it and this is our energy.

What is Ayahuasca or Yage?

Ayahuasca or Yage is a brew made of two plants of the amazon: liana of
Ayahuasca (banisteriopsis caapi) and a small tree of chacruna or liana chagropanga (psicotria viridis – dyplocteris cabreyana). This brew
is considered as a sacred medicine and has been used by our ancestors in the amazon jungle for more than 3 to 4 thousand years3 a 4 mil años. We learn from our grandfathers and ancestors and develop the knowledge in purity, transparency, honesty, full of love for the Earth, the jungle and our kins.

The ideal way to experience ayahuasca es thru the traditional way it was discovered and shared, with deep respect and consciousness that one is entering a deep process of personal healing in which ayahuasca will put you right in front of yourself, so that you can see yourself, so that you know yourself better on the inside: This will allow you to purify your past, to forgive, to leave behind the attachments and addictions and all that is blocking you to be your real self.

For sure this is not a miracle to do this change overnight, but if you give yourself a chance to go through your process we will assit you with love along the path and in every step you will give towards your healing.

In our group we have all experienced great benefits and blessings form our Celestial Father with the use of his sacred medicine. We are convinced of its efficiency and we want to share it with those who are ready to discover themeselves.

We have over 15 years of experience in the use of the teacher plants from the amazon. 

We have a very good and confortable infrastructure to offer our brothers a good service in a safe, clean and responsable maner.

Those are some benefits that people undertaking our healing porces had experienced:
* liverage of emotional blockages, profound feeling of peace with one`s own past
* mental and emotional clarity
* being healeb from various ilnesses and health problems
* found a path of a meaningfull, happy and harmonious life
* enhanced openness towards spiritual life
* mayor improvement in their interpersonal relationships

The ceremony of Yagé or Ayahuasca

We always mention both names: yagé and ayahuasca, the difference is in the names used, in Colombia it called 'yagé' and in Perú it is know as 'Ayahuasca'. 

The ceremonies / sessions are sacred ritual spaces, where 'el curandero' or the shaman from the amazon invites to the drink the medicine during the session. 
Normally the sessions take place at night but in some special ocasions we conduct ceremonies during the day. There is a mayor difference to the energy in the following manner:  the nigh one allows a deep introspection, and the daily one allows for a deep introspection and a connection with the surrouning nature.

The ceremonies can last between 4 to 8 hours, the duration of the ceremony depends exclusively on the process of the partecipants. Each person has their own individual, personal processand each session is completely different from each other, none of them is the same.

Our ceremonies hold from 1 to 20 people, and even if the attendance is high in numbers, the shaman makes sure that each one has a quality and safe experience.

The medicine works step by step, like a scanner finding blockages, negative energies and helping bit by bit to
free yourself from them.
When you are under the effect of the medicine you do not loose consciousness nor reasoning ability, on the contrary, one enters on the expanded level of consciouness and preception, where you not only perceive the meterial world but also the spiritual or energetical world, both interior as well as exterior.

This means the enhanced and intensyfied visions, thoughts and feelings of what we hold inside are mede aparent during the session.

The  Ayahuasca processes are beutifull, which does not mean they are easy, and the best thing to do during the ceremony is to let go, let flow, acept and loose the ilusion of control one has over things.
Never put yourself in the vistim position of what ones sees or feels, but be a mere observer that learns from his own interior reality.

Preparation for the ceremonies of Yagé / Ayahuasca

Good things in life always demand a sacrifice and effort from our part, this is a way to measure our motivation ad our commitment for the medicine. 
Ayahuasca is so loving that is does not ask us much, and it gives us much more in exchange. So in order top partecipate in the ceremony you should hold a diet for at least 3 days before it and keep it for the 3 days afterwards.

The diet consists of not eating pork meat, not eating any spicy food, no consumption of drugs nor alcohol of any sort, and have a period of sexual abstency.

Women that have their menstrual period are allowed to partecipate after the third day after the period is over.

It is important to point out that people that use frequently psycotropic plants, such as marihuana, it is best to stop somking at least a week before the session, as marihuan tends to block visions and the work of the medicine.

When is it not posible to have Ayahuasca?

* when you have cronical o serious hearth illnesses.
* when you have a compulsive epilepsy.
* when you suffer from serious hypertension.
* when you suffer from squizofrenia or tendencies to it.
* if you suffer depression and are taking anti depresive pills, it is best to suspend taking them at least a week before the ceremony.
* if you are preganat in you first 3 months.
* if you are addicted or make frequent use of hard drugs such as: cocaíne, heroine, crack or simillar, first you have have to go though a long detox period with purging plants in order to be able to take part in the ayahuasca session, in this case the Takiwasi Centre from Tarapoto is specialised in casas like yours.
* THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS THAT YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE AYAHUASCA IF YOU THINK THIS IS JUST A PSYCHODELIC TRIP, AS YOU DO NOT HAVE AN IDEA OF THE SACREDNESS OF THE DIMENTION YOU WILL BE ENTERING INTO.
