🔍 Critical Notes
APL Shamanic Journeys’ ayahuasca retreat in Spain, Ecuador, or Peru offers a transformative experience, lauded on Best Retreats and retreat.guru for its safe, culturally authentic ceremonies and modern integration support, with serene settings enhancing healing. Quora notes their effective post-retreat guidance, but the lack of 2025 dates and dated reviews raise concerns about current operations. Ayahuasca’s legal status varies by location (unclear in Spain, ambiguous in Ecuador), so verify local laws, facilitator involvement, and safety protocols directly before booking.
