Frequently Asked Questions

We will be happy to hear from you if you have any questions, or to assist you to book your flights, or to give any other information you may need.

Is it okay to come on my own?

Yes, most of our guests come alone and it’s the perfect opportunity to feel free and let go. You will also meet other people with similar interests and experiences, plus you can make lifelong friends. Our bungalows are for personal single use, but if you come with a friend or family and would like to share your bungalow, it is enough space to accommodate 2 people.

Will I be made to share personal issues during coaching sessions?

No, you won’t. Although the workshops are in a group setting, they are not group therapy sessions. You will go through a private session with our Shaman and Facilitator in relation to your personal situation where you can share private issues if you feel like it. You are not made to share anything you don’t wish to, although you are welcome to contribute if you so choose. Anything you do share is in the strictest confidence so you can relax and let go knowing you are in a safe, discreet environment.

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

Don’t worry, our yoga and meditation is suitable for all experience and fitness levels. You can even do it sitting on a chair if needed. As many of our guests are new to meditation we use guided visualizations to help you. These are simple to follow and can be easily used when you’re back home.

What languages do we speak?

At Naturalia we speak Spanish, English, French, Portuguese and Italian fluently, and we are happy to hear your requests, questions or just listen to whatever you have to tell us.

I’m travelling by plane, how will I get to Naturalia?

We will meet you at the center of Iquitos in the morning and we will take you to the Retreat. We’ll also drop you back on departure.

Will I be okay with the food?

Yes, you will be. Actually you’ll be amazed at how tasty and nourishing the meals are. You’ll be surprised at how full you’ll feel and that you won’t be hungry.

What type of people will be on the retreat?

All types of backgrounds join us. From busy professionals through to full-time mothers, from students through to retirees and from all nationalities. Age is not important as the one thing in common is the shared goal of wanting to transform, evolve and move forward.

What I need to bring with me?

Welcome to the Amazonian jungle! The climate is usually hot and humid, although the nights could be wonderfully cool. During the day, you will enjoy to wear comfortable light clothes like shirt, shorts, tank tops and so on. Here’s the minimum that we recommend you bring:

3 t-shirts
1 long sleeve t-shirt or shirt
2 pairs of shorts
1 pair of long pants
1 sweater
Swim wear
Beach towel(s)
Rain poncho or jacket
Sandals
Water bottle (can be refilled at Naturalia)
Flashlight (USB charged ok)
Mosquito repellent gel (avoid spray as it tends to get everywhere but on our bodies)
Sunscreen, antiseptic cream (Please choose an eco friendly product)
Sunglasses
Camera
Hiking boots or a pair of Snickers that could get muddy

It also is a good idea to bring some books if you like to read, and a writing journal and/or drawing pad. Many of our guests like to write down about their feelings, visions, experiences… It is actually a very good way to help in the process.

Insurance
We know many people don’t think about the need for insurance when traveling, but the unexpected can always happen and if you need to cancel your visit to us you could lose your deposit or even the full cost of the retreat.
We therefore strongly advise all our guests to arrange Personal Accident and Travel/Cancellation Insurance when booking onto one of our retreats.
