We have returned home after an incredible experience at Naturalia. Trying Ayahuasca was something in my lifetime to-do list. I feel very lucky that we chose Naturalia for this unique... read more and life changing experience.

There were very expensive places that I could not afford in the area. There were also homes of curanderos (healers) where I could try Ayahuasca where I would pay a little less with potentially many people sharing the same experience who do not speak English. I wanted to have a personalized experience and Naturalia was the best place for what I needed.

First of all, the food was great. The rooms were great but we didn't really spend much time in the rooms. Because we were doing yoga, talking to our shaman, meditating, walking in the jungle, having a flower bath, sitting by the fire, or having an Ayahuasca Ceremony. Manu and Paula have gone above and beyond to provide the best supportive environment for this experience. Everyone are best people in what they do. They are very dedicated to give you the answers you are looking for during your stay there.

Ayahuasca is a very serious experience. It requires following a certain diet, and requires complete surrender. You have to purge your body, purify yourself before doing the ceremony. So, if you have doubts, wait until you are ready.

One thing that stands out for me is how I was able to talk to our shaman before and after each ceremony. Even though the veil between higher and lower selves is lifted with Ayahuasca, the language of the spiritual world uses allegories and metaphors. Talking to an experienced shaman before and after helped me decipher the language of my own soul. In short, everything at Naturalia was designed to dissolve the paradox that I have burdened myself deep down.

I am grateful for the experience.

  I did the retreat at Naturalia Retreat Center and I'm so so happy. That was some days that I will never forget. Everything was super. The center is so nice,... read more and located in the jungle, so this is common to see animals (I see some monkeys several times). You also can have a walk more deeply in the jungle if you like.
The comfort of the bungalows was nice and the food so delicious.
The staff was super super nice. I met Antonio, Sarah, Sandra and Paula that were so kind with me. Everybody was always smiling and make me super comfortable. I spent so much time with Paula, she was my facilitator at Naturalia and she was super helpful, I really felt a conexion with her and we now are staying in touch. I did meditation and yoga sessions with Paula, and was really great. Paula helped me a lot because I was a beginner
I was there to do the ayahuasca retreat and that was such an amazing experience. I did 2 ceremonies (because I had to leave before the end of the week) with Sarah, the "Maestra" (shaman) and I really felt this deep conexion when I took ayahuasca. Sarah helped me to have the nicest experience and I will never forget it.
This retreat will help me for the rest of my life and this is also thanks to Paula, Sarah and the others members of the staff.
I recomend Naturalia 1000% and that's sure that one day I will come back

  The retreat is super well adapted in order to allow you to reconnect your body - mind - spirit together. Was nervous at first, but when I put my foot... read more in the place, and meet the people, the vibe and then the chaman, I felt secure and great. It's my highlight of all Peru, game changing and I brought all of those learning back home. The yoga teacher, the owners of the place and the chaman were really caring and genuine. Thank you forever <3

  This week at the Naturalia Retreat was totaly relaxing, fascinating and amazing. I was only with one other guy there. The combination of yoga, meditation and healthy food with the... read more power of the flower bathes in the jungle sorrounding were very relaxing and mind opening. Derya, Paula, Manu, Manuel, Sylvia and the whole staff and of course the dogs and cats were absolutely cool, heartily and inspiring.
