Is it okay to come on my own?

Yes, most of our guests come alone. It is the perfect opportunity to feel free and let go. Our bungalows are private and for single use.

Will I be forced to share personal issues during sessions?

No. Group settings are not group therapy. You will have private sessions with our Shaman and Facilitator. Confidentiality and emotional safety are essential.

I’ve never done yoga or meditation before, will I manage?

Yes. Our yoga and meditation sessions are suitable for all levels, including complete beginners, with simple guided visualizations.

What languages are spoken at Naturalia?

We speak Spanish, English, French, Portuguese, and Italian.

How do I get to the retreat from Iquitos?

We meet you in the center of Iquitos on the morning of your arrival and arrange transport to and from the retreat.

Traditional Shipibo Ayahuasca Retreat in Peru

Why Naturalia?

Naturalia Retreat Center offers a grounded and responsible approach to Ayahuasca, rooted in authentic Shipibo tradition, human care, and safety — far from sensationalism or spiritual performance.

✨ Safety first
Medical screening, clear preparation guidelines, qualified facilitators, and continuous support are central to our retreats. The well-being of participants always comes first.

✨ Authentic tradition
Ayahuasca is approached as a traditional medicine for inner work, never mixed with other substances and always guided with respect and moderation.

✨ Small groups, personal care
Retreats are intentionally limited in size (5 participants maximum) to ensure attentive, personalized accompaniment and emotional safety.

✨ A simple, human approach
We do not preach, impose beliefs, or use inflated spiritual language. Each participant is respected in their own path and worldview. LGBTQ+ participants are welcome.

✨ A protected natural environment
Naturalia is located in a preserved area of the Amazon rainforest, offering silence, grounding, and connection with nature.

At Naturalia, we do not promise transformation.
We offer a safe, ethical, and supportive framework in which meaningful work can unfold.

Authentic Ayahuasca Practice

At Naturalia, Ayahuasca is approached with respect, responsibility, and clarity.
Our practice follows traditional Shipibo knowledge and places safety and human support at its core.
What this means in practice — and why we choose a simple, focused, and ethical approach — is explained here.

What is Ayahuasca ?

Ayahuasca is a traditional Amazonian plant medicine, used within a structured ceremonial framework. Each experience is personal and unfolds according to context, preparation, and individual sensitivity. Understanding what Ayahuasca is — and what it is not — is an essential first step.
