A PILGRIMAGE THROUGH THE AMAZON & ANDES
A two-week journey through the Amazon Jungle and Sacred Valley of Peru.
One week deep in the jungle, immersed in the medicines, the land and the work within.
One week in the mountains, grounding, integrating and allowing everything to settle.
Two completely different worlds, woven together to create one deeply transformative experience.
This is more than a retreat. It’s a journey back to yourself.

FIRST WEEK
𖡡 Paojilhuasca Medicine Camp // Iquitos, Peru.

After our week of immersion, we will retrace our steps — traveling back along the river and returning to Iquitos in time for our onward flight to Cusco.

TESTIMONIALS
IMPORTANT
𖦹 At the start of the retreat, we’ll meet at 7:30am at a restaurant in Iquitos for breakfast before boarding our private boat into the jungle. We recommend arriving in Iquitos at least one day prior to ensure a smooth start.
𖦹 If you’re unable to exchange into Peruvian soles beforehand, bring USD—these are easily exchanged locally. ATMs are available but may have fees and withdrawal limits.
𖦹 If you plan to extend your time in Peru, we suggest doing so after the retreat. The Sacred Valley is incredibly special, and many guests wish they had more time there.
