Ayahuasca Retreat Brazil
Ceremony, movement and tropical garden calm
A hilltop stay in Bahia pairs ayahuasca ceremonies with a varied program of yoga, meditation, stretching and gymnastics. The setting is part of the appeal: tropical gardens frame the guesthouse, with the Atlantic Rainforest nearby and the coast roughly three miles away. Guests stay in private accommodation at Pousada Rancho Fundo, while small group sizes give the retreat a more personal feel than a large resort program. It is geared in part toward solo travelers, and the mix of ceremony and movement gives the days more than one focus. The center runs year-round, though the rhythm and length of individual retreats may differ. Expect a paid retreat rather than a drop-in visit; ask the host about dates, preparation and current rates before making travel plans.
