đ Critical Notes
Â
Avalon Ayahuascaâs $1,800-$3,500 retreats near Iquitos offer a transformative experience, with Don Howard and Don Roberâs Shipibo expertise earning praise on retreat.guru for authenticity and depth. The jungle setting enhances the journey, but Reddit reports of a 2023 dehydration case during a dietaâcoupled with limited on-site medical supportâraise minor safety concerns. Ayahuascaâs legal status in Peru is permissive, but remote locations pose risksâverify medical protocols, emergency access, and facilitator oversight directly.
