Maloca de los Abuelos: An In-Depth Review for Ayahuasca Retreats in Spain

Maloca de los Abuelos is an unverified operator at an undisclosed location in Spain whose facilitator, who uses the name “Munay Weyu”, sells two-night ayahuasca retreats, some combined with San Pedro, kambo or a temazcal, from €333, per its Retreat Guru page. It offers private and couples formats and includes airport pickup. Against that, the operator gives no full name, town, website or contact beyond a booking form, it has no reviews, no screening, contraindications, medical staff or emergency plan are published for programs that stack ayahuasca with kambo or San Pedro, and it claims ayahuasca helps heal addiction, depression and anxiety.

🎯 At a Glance

• Locations: A “Spanish home” with a maloca and temazcal, location not disclosed beyond Spain, with river or sea outings in spring and summer.
• Approach: Two-night group, couples and private ayahuasca retreats, some adding San Pedro (Wachuma), kambo or a temazcal, plus sound therapy, “ancestral constellation” and massages; ceremony counts are not stated.
• Suitable For: Not recommended until the operator discloses who it is, where it is and how it screens guests. Not suitable for people taking antidepressants or with heart or psychiatric conditions.
• Costs: €333 for a two-night group retreat, €444 for couples and €1,111 to €1,333 with kambo and temazcal, with dates chosen at booking, per its group retreat page; whether prices are per person is not stated. The deposit is refundable until a day before and full payment until 30 days before.
• Overall Assessment: Low prices and private options, offset by an anonymous operator, an undisclosed location, no track record, no published medical safeguards for stacked medicines and unsupported health claims. Directory evaluation: D+.

🔍 Critical Notes

Who runs it. The only named person is “Munay Weyu”, described as an “Amazonian Medicine Woman” from a family lineage of healers, with no surname, people, country or training given, per her teacher profile (unverified). An identical biography for “Munay” appears on the Retreat Guru account of La Mezquita, a separate venue in El Campello, with reviews from 2023 and 2024; whether this is the same person is unconfirmed. No website, company or tax number appears, so we label this operator unverified.

Screening and medical support. No medical questionnaire, contraindication list, medical staff, integration support or emergency protocol is published on any of its nine programs, although several combine ayahuasca with kambo and a temazcal or with San Pedro within two nights.

Health claims. Listings call ayahuasca a catalyst for healing addictions, depression and anxiety disorders and call kambo “the most powerful DETOX tool that exists”. These claims are unsupported.

Listings. A “private 1 person retreat” says rooms are shared, one-day ceremonies are sold as overnight packages, the amenity checklist shows a pool, spa and sauna for a “Spanish home”, and one program shows ten spaces while marked sold out.

Status. The listing has been live since about February 2024 with flexible dates; no independent evidence shows retreats taking place.

Legal context. Spain is a legal grey zone for ayahuasca rather than a clear prohibition, per Euronews, and unlicensed therapeutic claims have been charged as professional intrusion, as in an unrelated 2023 Yecla case reported by Murcia Today.

🆘 Screening & Mental Health Risks

Marketing ayahuasca for depression and anxiety without published contraindications may attract the people most at risk. 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 served by “Munay Weyu”; its source is not published. Ayahuasca combines the Banisteriopsis caapi vine with a DMT-containing leaf such as chacruna, as Erowid explains.

📍 Location, Setting & Style

• Setting: A home “tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the city”, region not disclosed.
• Rooms: Shared rooms depending on guest numbers.
• Style: Amazonian-styled ceremony mixed with Mexican temazcal, sound therapy and constellation work.

Practical guidance: Airport pickup is included, so ask which airport and confirm the address in writing before paying.

Should You Book?

Not until basic questions are answered. Ask in writing for the facilitator’s full name and training, the venue’s address, the screening questions and contraindication list, who on site is trained in first aid, the emergency plan and nearest hospital, how many ceremonies each program includes, whether the price is per person, and the legal entity you are paying. Read our guide to verifying retreat facilitators.

The Team & Story

The listing presents a family-tradition medicine woman welcoming guests into her home. We did not independently verify anyone’s identity or 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: Arrange support from a qualified therapist at home, since no integration support is described. Our guide on how to research ayahuasca incidents can help you check any center.
