🔍 Critical Notes

Vivacre Retreat in Rio Branco, Acre, offers a culturally immersive ayahuasca retreat, lauded on Best Retreats and vivacreretreat.com for its transformative Huni Kuin festivals, Teresa’s supportive guidance, and comfortable hostel amenities enhancing the experience. The deep tribal engagement sets it apart, but the lack of 2025 dates and reliance on dated reviews suggest potential scheduling uncertainty, possibly due to a focus on seasonal or private groups. Verify retreat dates, shaman involvement, and travel logistics (e.g., Rio Branco airport arrival) directly, given Brazil’s complex ayahuasca regulations and the retreat’s remote village setting.
