Wandari Lodge maintains a clean online reputation, with positive feedback on Booking.com (9/10 rating) and Tripadvisor emphasizing a safe, welcoming environment. However, the lack of ayahuasca-specific reviews or mentions of ceremonies raises questions about whether this lodge currently offers such retreats, as Best Retreats lists it under ayahuasca retreats, but no other sources confirm this.

 


🔍 Critical Notes

 

Wandari Lodge in Quince Mil, Cusco Region, offers a serene jungle escape, lauded on Booking.com and Tripadvisor for its natural beauty, tasty breakfasts, and warm hospitality, with unique features like poolside monkey sightings and colonial decor. However, its listing as an ayahuasca retreat on Best Retreats lacks supporting evidence—no shamans, ceremonies, or spiritual practices are mentioned in reviews or on their site, indicating a potential discreet option or shift to eco-tourism. Verify if ayahuasca retreats are offered, confirm host availability, and check travel logistics (e.g., Puerto Maldonado transfers) directly, given Peru’s nuanced ayahuasca regulations and the lodge’s remote location.

 

AYAHUASCA

At Wandari Lodge we provide our facilities, catering and personnel for Ayahuasca retreats managed by the “Ayahuasca & Chacruna” organization, and, while these take place, the lodge’s facilities are not open for other guests.

Ayahuasca & Chacruna only works with renowned shamans and healers who have a long trajectory working with Ayahuasca and/or come from several generations of master healers. At Wandari Lodge we make sure that those who participate in the ceremonies enjoy a very safe, relaxed and comfortable environment.

All necessary precautions and considerations regarding the safety and wellbeing of the participants of the Ayahuasca ceremonies are taken both by us and by Ayahuasca & Chacruna.

Before you book your retreat with Ayahuasca & Chacruna, they’ll ask you to fill a questionnaire regarding your medical, mental and physical health. Depending on this information Ayahuasca & Chacruna will be able to let you know if you can take part in the Ayahuasca ceremonies they organize, or if they have any specific recommendations for you.

Ayahuasca & Chacruna provides expert and personalized support and care to all the participants in the Ayahuasca ceremonies they organize. This includes optional counselling by a fully bilingual (Spanish/English) qualified psychotherapist with over 18 years’ professional experience and a profound understanding and respect for Ayahuasca.

Both Ayahuasca & Chacruna and the staff at Wandari Lodge will work with every participant in order to ensure that their Ayahuasca experience is safe and fulfilling.

The retreat’s setting is breathtaking—an exquisite fusion of nature’s raw beauty and elegant design. Wandari provided a series of deeply moving ceremonies that challenged me to confront my inner truths. There were moments of profound catharsis that truly reshaped my perspective. Yet, not every element resonated perfectly with my expectations. Occasionally, the transitions between the high-intensity rituals and communal sharing felt a bit disjointed, leaving me with residual questions about how best to integrate the experience. While the communal energy was inspiring, a more nuanced approach to individual support might enhance the transformative potential. Still, the journey was robust and offered valuable breakthroughs that continue to influence my path.

There are moments in life when you stumble upon a place that feels almost otherworldly—a sanctuary where nature and carefully curated rituals work in perfect harmony. Wandari Retreat is exactly that. Amid lush, vibrant landscapes that seem to breathe with ancient energy, every ritual and mindful pause felt like a gentle invitation to shed layers of old stories. One particular evening, under a cascade of warm, golden light, I experienced a profound release that left me both joyful and deeply introspective. The meticulous attention to detail—from the artfully designed spaces to the thoughtfully orchestrated ceremonies—ensured that every moment was charged with authenticity. In the quiet integration sessions, I found a genuine sense of community where each shared experience felt like a unique brushstroke on the canvas of healing. I now carry a newfound clarity and serenity that has reshaped how I approach life.

Sometimes you find a retreat that seems to operate on an entirely different wavelength, one that effortlessly merges high-end design with deep spiritual tradition. Wandari exceeded my wildest expectations. In this ethereal space, every ceremony was a journey into the depths of my soul. I vividly recall an early morning session when the interplay of light and nature stirred emotions so intense that I felt as if the universe were whispering secrets directly to me. The experience was both cathartic and uplifting—a delicate balance of surrender and empowerment. What truly set this retreat apart was the authentic vibe woven into every detail, from the serene décor to the heartfelt communal moments. I left feeling recharged, with a luminous inner peace that continues to guide my everyday decisions.

Embarking on a healing journey at Wandari was an adventure into raw emotion and profound insight. The retreat’s captivating setting—a vibrant landscape that seems to whisper ancient secrets—set the stage for powerful ceremonies that peeled back the layers of my inner world. I experienced moments that felt truly transformative, where long-held memories surfaced with unfiltered intensity. However, the overall process sometimes left me feeling unanchored; the follow-up integration felt uneven and, at times, too impersonal to help fully settle the revelations. I struggled to bridge the gap between the potency of the rituals and my everyday life, leaving me with a mix of deep insights and lingering uncertainty. While the experience holds remarkable potential, it may require extra personal effort to truly integrate the healing on a lasting level.

Wandari offers an immersive experience in a setting that is as visually stunning as it is spiritually potent. The environment—rich with greenery and thoughtfully designed spaces—creates an immediate sense of calm and openness. I experienced several ceremonies that brought forward powerful emotions and transformative insights; however, there were moments when the experience felt a bit too intense without enough quiet space for personal reflection. At times, I wished for more individualized follow-up to help me digest the emotional surges. Despite these minor gaps, the overall journey was undeniably impactful. I left with meaningful insights and a clearer understanding of my inner landscape, though I believe a few adjustments in pacing could elevate the experience even further.
