Casa del Tigre
A maloka-centered retreat with room to reset
Plant-medicine ceremonies shape the five-day stay at Casa del Tigre, a finca in Copacabana with a traditional maloka at its heart. The retreat centers on ayahuasca and the hosts’ focus on inner cleansing and healing, with activities arranged around participants’ needs rather than a single fixed itinerary. At a rural address in Vda. La Veta, the property is about 15 minutes from Medellín and less than 10 km from the city, making it a quieter base within reach of the urban area. Accommodation and meals are included, with vegan and dairy-free choices as well as meals containing meat. Between activities, guests can use the pool, sauna, yoga studio, café, restaurant and kitchen; free Wi-Fi is also available. The five-day format may appeal to travelers looking for a plant-medicine retreat with practical comforts. Ask the team about ceremony timing, room arrangements and preparation before booking.
