EFFECTS OF AYAHUASCA DURING CEREMONY
The ceremonies are performed inside the maloka or ceremonial hall. During the ceremonies we are in noble silence, in a meditative process, focused and relaxed, we give instructions on the process and guidance to be able to cope with the effects of the mother plant.The effect varies depending on the physical and emotional constitution. It can manifest for short periods, purgative physical and emotional symptoms, vomiting, diarrhea, temperature changes, sweating or body tremor.All these effects have a connection to our emotions and what we have repressed, fears, bitterness, sadness.After the purge comes an understanding, light, clarity and relief. We feel lighter and happier and we find the rainbow after the storm. This feeling could be indescribable because it is different for each one, the process of letting go and freeing ourselves of loads of the mind and learn to be present, in gratitude for what there is and what there is not.The energy and vibration change, our physical appearance, way of thinking and perspectives are amplified in a positive way, because the plant wants to see us flourish and grow, even though sometimes we have to be in the darkness of the seed.Just as the mind is healed, the body is also healed and the soul can rest in peace
LOCATION
We are in the beautiful sacred valley, in front of the energetic mountains, archaeological centers and a clean river perfect to meditate listening to the sound of the birds and the water running through the rocks, 40 minutes walking there is a wonderful waterfall, especially for walks near the retreat center and for the ceremonies with the great grandfather san pedro, we are 1 hour away from the city of Cusco, 15 minutes from Pisac and the craft markets, the rooms we have give a beautiful view of the mountains, warm, a quiet and special place away from the noise of the city
THE DIET
It is very important to maintain the diet before, during and after the retreat, to keep the mind and body clean, light and full of energy due to the deep work of the medicinal plants within us, we use vegetables grown in our organic garden, and sweet fruits We have vegan options during this healing process.This is for people who do not consume medications or antidepressants, if you are consuming any medication, contact to paqo before starting the retreat.We recommend at least one week before each retreat to have a ictiovegan, ovovegan or vegan organic and natural diet as much as possible, as this process will help the body to easily absorb the medicinal plants, and the purgative process will be easier and minimal.We recommend avoiding white flour, refined, processed foods, citrus fruits, cheese, milk, spicy foods, coffee, chocolate,fried food, alcohol or (if you use chemicals or drugs comunicate to Paqo please) avoid Marijuana, and have only a little Pink or himalaya salt and honey, no processed salt and no sugar, avoiding consuming all kinds of animals and being sexually abstinent for at least 3 days It will help a lot to preserve your sacred energy.

Reviews
There’s something undeniably powerful about a retreat that plunges you into the raw beauty of nature, and Ayahuasca Manta Retreats delivered moments of intense transformation that opened my eyes to hidden parts of my soul. The ceremonies were marked by bursts of emotional intensity—memories long locked away surfaced, bringing both tears and newfound insights. Yet, amid the intensity, I sometimes felt that the follow-up integration could have been more personalized. While the communal discussions were heartfelt, there were moments when I craved additional one-on-one guidance to help fully anchor the profound revelations. The natural setting is breathtaking, and the rituals are potent, but a more refined approach to supporting individual processing would have elevated the experience even further. Overall, it remains a deeply transformative journey, albeit with some areas for improvement.
In the quiet magic of twilight, a profound shift unfolded at Ayahuasca Manta Retreats that reshaped my very understanding of healing. The experience felt like an invitation from the cosmos—an opportunity to let go of decades of inner turmoil and embrace a fresh, luminous sense of self. During one ceremony, as the gentle hum of nature intertwined with rhythmic chants, I found my deepest fears and sorrows dissolving into streams of cathartic release. Every ritual here was meticulously attuned to the ancient traditions that honor both vulnerability and empowerment. The intimate integration circles felt like sacred gatherings, where raw stories were shared in a supportive embrace. I left with a heart unburdened, a mind awakened to new possibilities, and a spirit that now dances to the rhythm of renewal. This retreat isn’t just an escape—it’s a transformative pilgrimage into the essence of who you truly are.
My time at Ayahuasca Manta Retreats presented a spectrum of experiences that ranged from awe-inspiring clarity to moments of disconnection. The retreat’s setting is undeniably beautiful—a rich, dynamic environment that promises deep introspection. During several ceremonies, I experienced flashes of intense emotional release that left me feeling temporarily transformed. However, the overall process felt inconsistent; while the initial rituals were powerful, the follow-up integration often seemed rushed and impersonal. I found myself grappling with unresolved emotions long after the ceremonies had ended, and the communal support, although warm, wasn’t enough to bridge the gap. There were moments when the journey felt incomplete, leaving me with more questions than answers. For those who are self-motivated and capable of supplementing their own healing, there might be hidden gems to discover—but for me, the experience was a mixed bag of potent insights and lingering uncertainty.
Set against a backdrop of rugged mountain vistas and verdant landscapes, the experience at Ayahuasca Manta Retreats was nothing short of raw and immersive. I encountered ceremonies that unleashed powerful waves of emotion, challenging me to confront both my darkest memories and my greatest hopes. The intensity of the medicine was invigorating, forcing a reckoning with parts of myself that I had long ignored. However, the overall structure occasionally felt a bit fragmented; some transitions between rituals and integration sessions left me feeling slightly unmoored. Despite these minor inconsistencies, the supportive energy of the group and the authenticity of the practices allowed me to gather invaluable insights. I now feel more in tune with my inner truth and am better equipped to navigate the complexities of daily life, even if the journey wasn’t perfectly seamless.
Under the vast Andean skies, Ayahuasca Manta Retreats revealed a realm where healing transcends everyday existence. My journey was marked by a series of ceremonies that brought me face-to-face with the most profound layers of my inner self. I vividly recall a ritual set against the gentle glow of dawn—each note of ancient music and every whispered chant carried the promise of renewal. The facilitators created a space where every emotion was honored, enabling me to release long-held burdens and rediscover a radiant inner light. What struck me most was the authentic sense of community; in our shared moments of vulnerability, I found not only healing but a deep connection with fellow travelers on similar quests. This experience has forever reoriented my life, leaving me with renewed clarity and a persistent sense of hope.
