Setting
The retreat takes place in a villa near a sandy, described-as-non-touristic beach, reached through a private entrance about a two-minute walk away. The coastal setting gives the program a quieter, more open-air feel than a retreat based in town.
The practice
Ayahuasca is a ceremonial plant-medicine practice associated with Amazonian traditions. At APL, retreats are guided by Peruvian shamans and supported by Western specialists, with preparation, screening and integration included in the broader approach. The center describes individual support as part of the experience. Ask about the format and suitability of a specific retreat before deciding to attend.
A typical day
Daily structure varies by retreat, so confirm it with the center. Ask how ceremony sessions, individual support, meals and integration time are arranged during your chosen dates.
Accommodation
Retreats use a villa near the beach. Room types, facilities and what is included with lodging depend on the retreat; check with the center before booking.
