🔍 Research Notes
The analysis draws from Sacha Wasi’s site, Best Retreats, Reddit, Tripadvisor, and checks on ICEERS. Located near Puyo, Ecuador, Sacha Wasi offers ayahuasca retreats (e.g., 3 days/2 nights for $600, per Best Retreats bestretreats.co), led by Kichwa Yachaks like Jesus and Yusu, with activities like cacao ceremonies and waterfall hikes. Reviews are positive but limited, with some logistical concerns about accessibility.
However, their limited digital presence, as noted on Reddit, reflects their recent entry into modern marketing, which may explain the sparse reviews (e.g., none on Tripadvisor for the retreat itself). The rustic setup—bamboo casitas with basic amenities—may not suit those seeking luxury, and the lack of detailed safety protocols (e.g., medical emergency plans beyond Dr. Mayra Prado’s presence) is a concern in a remote jungle setting.
