Ayahuasca Peru: An In-Depth Review for Ayahuasca Retreats in Písac, Peru

Ayahuasca Peru, listed on directories as “Ayahuasca Perú”, is a small ayahuasca practice in Písac, in Peru’s Sacred Valley near Cusco, led by Shipibo healer Filder Agustín (Shipibo name “Ronin Soy”), who says he has served ceremonies there since 2008, according to its AyaAdvisors listing. A Shipibo shaman and visionary painter of that name is profiled in Raw Vision. Against that, no website, legal entity, prices, reviews or safety policy were found, the listing was never claimed, and nothing is dated after November 2021.

🎯 At a Glance

• Approach: Shipibo ayahuasca ceremonies with icaros and plant dietas “for tourists and people with various problems”, per the listing.
• Suitable For: Adults seeking a Shipibo healer in the Sacred Valley, only after confirming that he still serves and how he screens guests. Not suitable for people taking antidepressants or with heart or psychiatric conditions.

🔍 Critical Notes

Which center this is. “Ayahuasca Peru” is a generic name used by several operators; our listing’s Cusco location matches the Písac practice. “Ayahuasca Perú Org”, relisted on Retreat Guru on an island near Pucallpa, and the Iquitos center “Ayahuasca Retreats Peru” on Retreat Guru are separate operators.

Screening and medical support. No medical questionnaire, contraindication list, medical staff or emergency protocol is published. Hospitals are in Cusco, roughly 40 minutes by road (estimate). The US Embassy warned in 2025 that Peruvian retreat centers are unregulated and may operate without medical supervision, per Panamericana.

Who runs it. The listing names Filder Agustín as healer and says he learned from his grandfather, an uncle who is a shaman in Lima and other relatives. Raw Vision profiled a Shipibo shaman-painter named Filder Agustín Peña in 2015; that he is the same person is likely but unverified. No website, social account or Peruvian company was found.

Status. The listing was last modified in November 2021 and has never been claimed. No later dates, closure notice or rebrand were found.

Legal context. Ayahuasca is legal in Peru, where traditional use was declared national cultural heritage in 2008, per Andina, but no law licenses retreat centers.

Corrections to our earlier profile. Our earlier page said the center was potentially closed and being monitored for rebranding; no closure or rebrand was found for this practice, and nothing is dated after November 2021. The Cusco location matches Písac. The 1500 price has no source and remains unverified. Our earlier grade was C; the grade is now C-.

🆘 Screening & Mental Health Risks

No contraindications are published. ICEERS notes that ayahuasca’s MAOI component makes it dangerous with SSRIs and other serotonergic drugs and that it is contraindicated for people prone to psychosis. Never stop a psychiatric medication to qualify for a ceremony without your prescriber’s guidance.

🧪 Brew Substance

Ayahuasca of undisclosed recipe, with plant dietas. Ayahuasca combines the Banisteriopsis caapi vine with a DMT-containing leaf such as chacruna, as Erowid explains.

📍 Location, Setting & Style

• Setting: The Andean Sacred Valley at Písac.
• Rooms: No information.
• Style: A Shipibo healer from the Amazon working in the Andes, with icaros and dietas.

Practical guidance: Fly to Cusco; Písac is roughly 40 minutes by road (estimate).

Should You Book?

Only after the healer confirms in writing that he still serves ceremonies and sends his prices, screening and emergency plan. Read our guide to verifying retreat facilitators.

The Team & Story

The listing says he first drank ayahuasca at 11, began dietas at 13, led his own ceremonies at 19 in his community and in Lima, and settled in the Sacred Valley in 2008. We did not independently verify anyone’s training.

Prep & Integration Tips

Before you go: Disclose every medication and condition in writing and plan any change with your own doctor. After you return: No integration program is described; arrange support from a qualified therapist at home. Our guide on how to research ayahuasca incidents can help you check any center.
