The Garden of Peace
A high-jungle path to healing
In Peru’s San Martín region, The Garden of Peace focuses on shamanic healing in the lush high jungle near Lamas. Its retreat programs feature Ayahuasca and Master Plant Dietas, making this a specialized setting for visitors drawn to traditional plant-based healing rather than a general meditation holiday. The landscape sets a quiet, nature-rich backdrop for time away from everyday routines, while the work itself is guided by the retreat program. Beginners should ask the center what preparation and support to expect before choosing a retreat. Daily schedules, lodging arrangements, and retreat details depend on the program, so confirm these directly with the host before booking. Retreats are paid, but rates are not listed here.
