Ayahuasca Ceremony Peru

Check out our newest tour, an Ayahuasca Ceremony in held in a native community in Manu! 

DAY 1: PILLCOPATA – SANTA ROSA DE HUACARIA

We begin our day at 3:30pm with a late lunch at Gallito de las Rocas in Pillcopata, followed by our hike to the native community of Santa Rosa de Huacaria, 700m.  Huacaria is buried deep within the jungle and possesses many treasures of indigenous Amazonian life.  Along the way, we will have the opportunity to view different species of wildlife, especially those in the avian family.  We will arrive in Huacaria for an evening of rest, relaxation, and a light dinner while camping in their ceremonial Tambo. 

Total Travel Time: 2.5 hours hiking

DAY 2: SANTA ROSA DE HUACARIA

This day will be used as a day of meditation and relaxation, designed to increase your spiritual journey during the Ayahuasca ceremony.  River access for swimming is close to the Tambo and is used by the locals for purification before ceremonies.  During this day we will have light snacks and share experiences with the local community members and take a tour of their native community structure.  Mid-afternoon the shaman will do a ceremonial preparation and question & answer session followed by a light mindfulness yoga practice.   At sun down, the traditional ceremony will begin.  During the ceremony, the shaman will guide each individual through a natural self-discovery process through traditional songs and mantras passed on through the tribe from generations before. 

DAY 3: SANTA ROSA DE HUACARIA

This is a day of recuperation.  We begin in the morning with our closing interpretation ceremony with the shaman as he analyzes the visions seen the night before.   We will have a nutritionally balanced breakfast and a cleansing bath before making our way back to the village of Pillcopata.  The rest of this day should be used for relaxation.  Meals will be provided at Gallito de las Rocas.  If evening buses are available, you can travel back to Cusco this evening, otherwise we would be happy to accommodate you at Gallito de las Rocas Lodge.  

Total Travel Time: 30 minutes in car
