Hampuy House
Ceremony held with care
Ayahuasca ceremony at Hampuy House is framed by two deliberate supports: individualized medical screening before the retreat and somatic integration afterward. In Moccopata, the approach draws on Mestizo ceremonial tradition while keeping attention on practical care as well as spiritual practice. Meals are simple and nourishing, made with fresh ingredients from the Sacred Valley, and dietary needs can be accommodated, including vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free, and nut-free options. A kitchen, coffee and tea, and free Wi-Fi add useful comforts between retreat activities. The center can arrange a taxi from Cusco’s airport, about 34 km away. Hampuy House runs by donation, so visitors should clarify the expected contribution and retreat details before making plans. Its emphasis on screening and integration makes it especially worth discussing personal health considerations with the team before booking.
