The land of the Yagè
In a place of masterful beauty, at the gates of the Amazon rainforest, taste the opportunity of an experience in complete immersion in naturalness. Putumayo, called the land of the Yagé (Ayahuasca), has a very important index of biodiversity and is reflected in its great variety of plant and animal species, waterfalls and rivers. This land, where are present many indigenous reserves that preserve the millenary traditions and where the wisdom of plants still has a central position in the life of the inhabitants, gives us the perfect space for an inner journey towards our personal evolution.
Our retreat center
Situated at the entrance of the rainforest in Mocoa, Putumayo, Colombia, is a stunning house embraced by nature’s beauty and the melodies of birds. This intimate residence offers shared rooms with two single beds each. Guests can enjoy the convenience of a spacious kitchen, a communal dining table, and shared bathrooms with shower. Outside, a serene ceremonial space known as the “Maloka” awaits, while the expansive garden teems with medicinal plants, Ayahuasca lianas, birds, and diverse wildlife.
