🔍 Research Notes
The analysis draws from Mamaycuna’s listing on Best Retreats, ibogafamily.com, Tripadvisor, their Facebook page, and checks on Reddit and ICEERS. Located near Iquitos, Peru, Mamaycuna offers ayahuasca retreats with a family-run vibe, including meals and tambos with mosquito nets, starting at $300 for 3 days (per ibogafamily.com). Reviews are positive but sparse, with some guests noting the rustic setup may not suit those seeking luxury.
The limited number of reviews (e.g., a handful on Tripadvisor and Facebook) makes it hard to fully assess consistency, and the lack of a robust online presence or detailed shaman credentials raises questions about transparency.
