Honestly it is a lot better than you imagine. It can vary depending on the time of year and weather conditions. Rainy seasons typically see a rise in insect populations. However, we often steps to minimize discomfort, such as providing mosquito nets and recommending appropriate clothing. Don’t forget to pack a good insect repellent!

The accommodation during the retreat is designed to offer an authentic jungle experience rather than a luxurious tourist getaway. 

You can expect basic lodging. Rooms are often simply furnished. This stripped-down, close-to-nature living is part of the retreat’s charm, allowing you to disconnect from modern distractions and connect more deeply with the environment and your inner self.

Other countries where Ayahuasca is native are countries with the Amazon Rain Forest, like Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Bolivia, and Venezuela. 

In recent decades, the Ayahuasca plant has also travelled and has started to be cultivated in other parts of the world, like Costa Rica or Hawaii, where the climate conditions are suitable for Ayahuasca to grow.

The Amazon rainforest has a tropical climate, meaning it’s warm and humid throughout the year. However, the region has two main seasons: the rainy season and the dry season. 

The rainy season, generally running from December to May, is characterized by heavy but brief showers, typically in the afternoon. The dry season, from June to November, sees less rainfall. Temperatures typically range from 75°F to 90°F (24°C to 32°C) during the day, dropping slightly at night.

The Amazon is rich in biodiversity, and the retreat offers a unique opportunity to witness this firsthand. You may spot a variety of birds, butterflies, and monkeys as well as a Guacamayo if you are lucky . While exciting, it’s essential to remember that you are in their home – always respect wildlife and maintain a safe distance.

Ayahuasca is a brew made from two different plants Caapi (Banisteriopsis Caapi) and Chakruna (Psychotria viridis). In Colombia the word for Caapi is Ayahuasca and in their vocabular the Ayahuasca (Caapi) combined with Charkuna it the Yagé. 

Also, different traditions have their own recipes for Ayahuasca but the basis is the same.

Some of the well-known indigenous tribes in Colombia that work with Ayahuasca are the tribes of Kamsa Biya, Cofan, Inga, Siona and others. 

Also in Colombia Ayahuasca is more commonly known as Yagé.
