Description: del Ayahuasca Ceremony in the Amazon Rainforest
Discover a profound path toward self-discovery and emotional healing with a traditional Amazonian ceremonial experience. Held within a secluded jungle setting and led by an experienced Amazonian shaman, the ritual takes place in a dedicated maloka (traditional round house). The ceremony is guided by ancestral icaros (sacred healing songs) that facilitate introspection and cleansing processes. This unique offering provides a safe and supportive environment with attentive staff and comfortable, private accommodations, making it a powerful retreat for individuals seeking deep spiritual insight and personal transformation in the heart of the rainforest.
This is more than an activity; it is a meticulously facilitated spiritual process designed for profound inner work. You will be supported by personalized care, including specially prepared plant-based meals and quiet spaces for reflection before and after the ceremony. Safety is paramount, with strict pre-ceremony dietary guidelines and conditions regarding certain medications and psychological health to ensure the integrity of the experience. Approach this transformative journey with openness and respect, allowing the ancient wisdom of the Amazon to guide you toward emotional release, deeper self-awareness, and a renewed sense of purpose.

Frequently Asked Questions Ayahuasca Ceremony in the Amazon Rainforest
Is an Ayahuasca ceremony safe, and who will be guiding it?
Yes, your safety and well-being are our highest priorities. This is a meticulously facilitated spiritual process, not a simple tourist activity. The ceremony is led by an experienced Amazonian shaman who guides the journey using traditional icaros (sacred healing songs). You will be in a dedicated, secure maloka (traditional roundhouse) at the Corto Maltes Amazonía Lodge, with trained support staff present before, during, and after the ceremony to ensure you feel entirely safe and supported.
Do I need to follow a special diet before taking Ayahuasca?
Yes, strict dietary preparation is absolutely essential for both your physical safety and the spiritual integrity of the experience. You must follow a pre-diet for at least 3 days prior to the ceremony. This means strictly avoiding red meat, processed foods, refined sugars, dairy, very salty foods, caffeine, alcohol, and recreational drugs. The lodge will provide specially prepared, plant-based meals that align with this traditional Ayahuasca diet during your stay.
Are there any medical conditions that prevent me from participating?
Because Ayahuasca is a powerful plant medicine, it is contraindicated for certain individuals. You cannot participate if you are taking antidepressants, sleeping pills, or strong stimulants. It is also not permitted for minors, pregnant women, or individuals with a history of serious heart conditions, epilepsy, or severe mental/psychiatric disorders. If you take any regular medication, you must consult with your doctor and our organizing team prior to booking.
What is included in the cost of the retreat?
To provide a deeply immersive and stress-free experience, the package includes: Transportation: Airport pickup/drop-off in Puerto Maldonado and a round-trip boat transfer to the jungle lodge. Accommodation: A private bungalow with a bathroom and terrace at the Corto Maltes Amazonía Lodge. Meals: Full board featuring specialized, plant-based pre- and post-ceremony meals. The Ceremony: One nighttime Ayahuasca session guided by a shaman, including an introductory talk and post-ceremony integration support.
What should I wear and bring to the ceremony?
We recommend bringing light, comfortable cotton clothing in neutral or light colors (preferably white for the ceremony itself). Other essentials for the jungle and the retreat include natural or DEET-free insect repellent, a headlamp with spare batteries, a reusable water bottle, and a personal diary or notebook to write down your reflections and insights after the ceremony.
What happens after the ceremony is over?
Integration is a crucial part of the process. After the nighttime ceremony concludes, you will have access to a quiet rest space to sleep and reflect. The following day, our trained staff provides an integration space to help you process your experience. You are encouraged to rest in your private bungalow, relax in a hammock, or enjoy the peaceful jungle surroundings. You must also maintain a light diet and avoid strong stimuli (like alcohol or heavy social media use) for the next few days.
