Paula and Manu have done an incredible job of creating Naturalia and making it such a special place. They are fully integrated into the community and the jungle, with trustworthy... read more staff and safe, but primitive, accommodations. Don't second guess staying here and taking a journey with Paula and Manu. Whether you try the herbal medicine or not, it's a peaceful and serene place where anyone would be sure to gain clarity and peace.

  Nautralia changed my life. Like Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz I discovered that everything I ever needed was with me all along. I felt called to visit... read more and walked out of the jungle renewed for life and all the amazing opportunities. Safe and secure yet pushing the boundaries- my experience could not have been better. As I’ve integrated what I learned during my stay the magic continues to blow my mind. Not only the magic of the medicine but also of connection, personal growth and a nurturing environment of non judgement. Not to mention the delightfully delicious food (Sylvia is a master chef) comfortable accommodations, skilled yoga instruction (thank you Cia!) and personalized care (Manu made me laugh till my tummy hurt, is a truly gifted musician and was always there when needed). I got everything I was looking for and more. I highly recommend Nautralia! More

  I have to admit that I had a hard time to leave this center! I tried but I ended up staying 4 months! Four months living and sharing the daily... read more life of Naturalia! 4 months where I felt at home, with family, and meeting every week some new amazing souls. I was a teacher, but I was also a student. It was for me an experience of a lifetime: the energy in the jungle is like nowhere around. And there, Manu and Paola have created a wonderful sanctuary! All the guests living the center were transformed, and so am I! I'm so grateful for the opportunity they gave me to be a part of the magical naturalia adventure. You will understand that only after you experienced it!

  This place was a haven from it all. The yoga classes were the difference for me, Cia was a wonderful Yogi and we even did a Reiki healing session. Manu... read more who was the facilitator, was charming, funny and caring. It is very important that they do max groups of 5 and that you have a private bungalow. Many places offer groups of 10-20 which is ridiculously too much. This way, with a smaller group, it will be safer and they can pay attention to you. After a week, Manu and Cia felt like family. The wildlife is plentiful here. I saw some monkeys, huge blue butterflies, lizards and a huge snake. They have 5 lively dogs. The bungalows are beautiful and make it very private. In general, i find it hard to relax..but over here I could lie in a hammock for many hours. Please note, I don't recommend doing Ayahuasca just for the kicks. It can be very challenging, as it had some scary moments for me but it was what I needed. It gave me the tools to help out with my anxiety. Shipibo Manuel sang beautiful Icaros that grounded me back during the ceremonies. Silvia is the best cook in Iquitos. I am glad I chose this place, it was beautiful to get here by boat. Everything is very safe here. The food was great and the diet is very important to do a week or two... This place was a haven from it all.

  I lived in Naturalia 3.5 months as a volonteer.
In this exceptional place I had the oportunity to be surrounded by all the ingredients I needed to go deep into... read more myself : virgin nature, healthy and delicious food, loving and caring people around me.

Ayahuasca, yoga and meditation is an harmonious and powerful mix to realize what we need to learn, feel or experience in this moment of life.
Whatever the questions, doubts or things we want to sort out in our life, no one but ourself can find the answers. In Naturalia, you start hearing the voice that talks from inside and shows you the way you need to follow.

The retreats are led with small groups, high end facilities, exeptional staff and powerful plant medicines.

Naturalia is not a destination, it's the beginning of a long journey.

I am grateful for every single day I spent in this paradise.
