Rumi Wasi
Let the forest set the pace
Forest water shapes the experience at Rumi Wasi, a retreat space on two hectares of mostly wooded land near Mocoa. A stream and small waterfalls offer a natural pause between sessions, while the covered ceremonial space sits beneath the trees, sheltered from the elements. The program brings together sacred plant work, yoga, meditation, quantum healing and energy work, with guides including Shani, Taita and Jefferson. This is a rustic rather than polished stay: rooms and shared areas are comfortable but basic, and the final approach is a 15-minute walk into the jungle from the nearest road. Plant-work days generally follow a dieta, explained by the team, and meals can accommodate several dietary needs within practical limits. Transport to and from Mocoa or Villagarzón is included, with guests accompanied on the walk in. Retreats are paid, with prices starting at USD 500. The aim is for visitors to carry insights beyond the retreat and into everyday life.
