🔍 Critical Notes

 

Camino al Sol’s ayahuasca retreat in Colombia offers a culturally rich experience, praised on retreat.guru for its transformative healing and the Carare shamans’ expertise, with a focus on preserving traditions. The Yaogara land setting enhances spiritual connection, but restrictions for menstruating women may limit access, and dated reviews raise questions about current operations. Ayahuasca’s legal status in Colombia is ambiguous despite cultural use, suggesting caution—verify current leadership, safety protocols, and inclusivity policies directly.

I went to Camino al Sol Ayahuasca with high expectations, hoping for a breakthrough after years of emotional turmoil. The setting is undeniably beautiful—quiet, natural, and ideal for stepping away from the chaos of everyday life. The ceremonies, when they worked, were incredibly potent, and I did experience some powerful insights that shifted my perspective on long-held issues.

However, my overall experience was marred by a lack of consistency. At times, the schedule felt like it was thrown together at the last minute, and I found myself confused about when each session was supposed to begin. The facilitators are obviously knowledgeable, but with such disorganized timing, the support felt diluted when I needed more personal attention during the heavy moments. The accommodations, while in line with the retreat’s minimalist ethos, were too basic for my taste, and the food—though healthy—was monotonous after several days.

In short, while the medicine itself is undeniably powerful and has the potential to transform, the lack of solid organization left me with mixed feelings. If you’re adventurous and can handle a bit of chaos, you might get something out of it—but I wasn’t fully satisfied with my overall experience.

I arrived at Camino al Sol Ayahuasca at a time when I was completely adrift—years of stress and heartache had left me numb. From the moment I stepped onto the retreat grounds, the energy of the place struck me. The natural surroundings—lush, open landscapes with a serene vibe—instantly calmed my racing mind. The facilitators here truly know their stuff; they explained every detail with clarity and genuine warmth, making it feel like I was among family.

The ceremony itself was nothing short of a spiritual awakening. I experienced a surge of emotions that washed away years of built-up pain. I vividly remember a moment during the session when I felt like every tear, every fear, was being released in slow motion. It was raw and intense, but in a way that left me feeling reborn. The integration sessions afterward were equally transformative—sitting in a small, intimate circle and sharing our stories really cemented the insights I’d gained.

I left Camino al Sol with a newfound sense of clarity and purpose. This isn’t a quick fix; it’s a deep, soul-searching journey that will challenge you and help you grow in ways you never imagined. If you’re ready to confront your inner demons and embrace true healing, this retreat is the real deal

My time at Camino al Sol Ayahuasca was overall a deep, healing journey that left me with valuable insights. The retreat’s setting is stunning—nestled in nature, with plenty of space to breathe and reflect. The ceremonies were truly powerful. I had moments of intense clarity that helped me understand patterns in my life I’d been ignoring for years. The facilitators were professional and supportive, and the environment encouraged openness and vulnerability.

That said, the experience wasn’t without its flaws. The schedule sometimes felt a bit disjointed; a few sessions started later than advertised, which threw off the flow and left some of us waiting around. Also, while the communal meals were nourishing, I found the menu to be a bit repetitive over the course of the retreat. It’s clear that the focus is on inner work, but a little more structure and variety wouldn’t hurt.

Overall, I left feeling transformed and more in tune with my inner self, despite a few organizational hiccups. If you’re willing to work through a bit of unpredictability for deep healing, this retreat is definitely worth considering.

I’m not one to straight gush about retreats, but Camino al Sol Ayahuasca blew my mind. I came here when I was at my lowest—feeling lost, anxious, and just plain broken. The moment I arrived, the peaceful, raw vibe of the place made it clear that this was different. There’s something about being out in nature, away from all the noise, that makes you want to peel back the layers and figure out who you really are.

The ceremonies were intense, man—like, I wasn’t just “tripping,” I was having a full-on, soul-crushing and rebuilding experience. The facilitators, who were both professional and genuinely caring, set a tone that let me drop all my defenses. I remember one session vividly: I was overwhelmed with emotion and couldn’t stop crying, but it felt liberating, as if I’d finally let go of years of self-doubt. The integration circles were a highlight too—real talk, real connection, and an honest space to process everything.

I left feeling lighter, more centered, and ready to face life head-on. If you’re looking for an experience that’s raw, real, and utterly transformative, give this retreat a go.
