Shamanic Center Ayahuasca
Ceremony on ancestral Amazonian land
On a traditional chacra, or cultivated plot of ancestral land, Shamanic Center Ayahuasca has a setting shaped by the Amazonian landscape and ceremonial practice. The center is associated with Maestro Mateo and Maestra Adela, who lead its ceremonies. That connection to a working chacra gives the retreat a different feel from a hotel-based program: the land itself is part of the context for a stay here. Pucallpa provides the regional base, while the center’s focus is inward and ceremonial. The exact format of retreats, daily activities, and visitor arrangements can vary, so it is sensible to clarify those details before choosing dates. This is a paid retreat, and current rates should be confirmed with the hosts. Come with curiosity, a willingness to follow the center’s guidance, and time to understand what participation involves.

The practice
The center is described as a ceremonial place led by Maestro Mateo and Maestra Adela. Ayahuasca is an Amazonian plant preparation used in ceremonial settings, but the precise ritual format and preparation guidance should be discussed with the hosts before booking.
