🔍 Critical Notes
Killawasi Healing Center, with sites in Mindo and near Tena, offers a family-run ayahuasca retreat, lauded on Best Retreats and retreat.guru for its deep healing ceremonies, serene forest setting, and supportive guidance from Amalia and her family. The Oviedo family’s 15-year legacy and unique practices like vision quests add authenticity, but the lack of and limited recent reviews suggest possible seasonal operations or a focus on private groups. Verify retreat schedules, facilitator availability, and travel logistics (e.g., Quito transfers) directly, given Ecuador’s regulated ayahuasca context and the center’s remote, dual-location setup.
