Madre Selva Samana Wasi
Rest where the rainforest begins
At the rainforest’s edge between Pucallpa and Tingo Maria, Madre Selva Samana Wasi makes its natural setting part of the retreat experience. This private ecolodge is lovingly tended by Lily La Torre, with surrounding greenery, medicinal plants and cacao trees bringing the landscape close. The site was inaugurated as sacred by Maestro Enrique Llanos of the Q'ero lineage, giving it a distinctive spiritual history without defining every retreat by a single tradition. The appeal is a land-centered base for stepping back from ordinary routines, with the rainforest as a constant presence. Retreat programs and practical arrangements can vary by visit, so contact the host through the center’s Facebook page to confirm what a particular stay includes.
