🔍 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.
In Camino Al Sol we learn the art of living. We strive to be better every day. We seek to recover the consciousness of life as a path, where everything makes sense. Where everything is connected and has a purpose.
