Founders
Best Retreats is your unfiltered guide to every ayahuasca retreat out there—past and present, the stellar and the sketchy. As a non-profit we’re not here to sell you a polished dream; we’re here to lay it all out so you can pick a retreat that’s right for your journey, whether it’s about healing, growth, or self-discovery.
With roots in bootstrapping, fraud prevention, and adventure travel, Best Retreats was started because we believe every ayahuasca journey should start with knowing 100% what you’re getting into. We’ve seen too many retreat options falling short on basic information, on top of the internet offering nothing besides a few pay-to-play review / booking sites or scattered opinions all over Reddit. So, we created a platform that archives every ayahuasca retreat—good, bad, and outright “not recommended.” Peace of mind first.
Our Values
Safety
We don’t endorse retreats—we expose the good and bad about each of them. Using our security and risk management expertise, we dive into each center’s practices, sharing incident reports and critical notes to help you spot safe, trusted environments. Some retreats we list are risky, and we’ll say so outright, because you deserve to know before you go.
Integrity
No retreat center contracts = no bias. Unlike the commercial review sites you’ve probably already researched, we don’t advertise or take payouts, so we can dish out honest critiques—praising what works, calling out what doesn’t. Retreat owners might bristle at our approach, but our community loves it. You’ve told us it’s a relief to have a platform that’s all about your trust, not their wallets.
Authenticity
We champion real experiences. We highlight retreats that respect ayahuasca’s cultural roots and ancient wisdom, but we also flag those that miss the mark. Your journey should be genuine, and our reviews—shaped by real stories—help you find the truth in every listing.
We list every ayahuasca retreat that’s ever existed, from the life-changing to the ones we’d never touch. No partnerships, no filters—just raw insights to guide you. Share your story, check our reviews, and help us make Best Retreats the ultimate place for finding a retreat.
