2 Days Ayahuasca & San Pedro Retreat in Cusco, Peru – Ancient Ceremony
The 2 Day Ayahuasca Ritual in Cusco continues the journey by letting you go deeper into your exploration. You will open your heart with a light San Pedro ceremony your first night, before plunging into a full Ayahuasca ceremony your second night. You’ll drink the brave and potent Ayahuasca brew while under the watchful care of our experienced shaman, after which you will rest and integrate during the day. The ceremonies occur in a small, intimate setting – we keep the group small so you get lost in the support provided. During these two days, many participants experience a softening of the inner walls around their hearts, and profound realizations and insights bubble to the surface that allow powerful plant medicine to unfold under the stars of the mountain night.
During the duration of the retreat, we allow a quiet integration time between the two ceremonies: you are nourished with morning discussions, gentle yoga practices, and a meditative walk to provide a sense of process as you embody your experience. Participants often describe, by returning to their medicine on the second night, that many fears and emotions have filed out for release. By the end of day, many participants feel a renewed energy and peace from a deeper sense of self-awareness. A 2 Day Retreat In Cusco is a wonderful way to cultivate a warm and meaningful balance of visionary and heartfelt exploration of a journey into your own healing adventure from the past.

Important Notes Before Your Ceremony
⚠️ The ayahuasca retreat Cusco Peru is not recommended for people with certain medical conditions or psychiatric history.
⚠️ A dietary preparation (Ayahuasca Dieta) is recommended at least 2-3 days before the ceremony: avoid alcohol, pork, red meat, spicy food, and drugs.
⚠️ This is a sacred experience, not for recreational purposes. We honor and respect the ancestral tradition of Amazonian medicine.
⚠️We warmly invite you to arrive in Cusco at least two days before your retreat so your body has time to gently adapt to the altitude. Many travelers feel the effects of the high elevation, and arriving on the same day of your retreat would make it unsafe for us to serve Ayahuasca. In such a case, your retreat would need to be moved to the next available date, and unfortunately refunds are not possible. This guideline is simply to protect your well-being, as experiencing altitude sickness during ceremony can pose serious health risks.
⚠️During your acclimatization, you’ll need to arrange your own accommodation. If you’d like, we are happy to recommend trusted hotels that offer everything you may need, including airport transfers, so that your arrival in Cusco feels smooth and stress-free.
⚠️On the morning of your retreat, we will gather at Plaza Nazarenas at 9:00 am and travel together by shuttle to the retreat center. For breakfast, please enjoy something light such as fresh fruit and juice, avoiding bread and dairy products, so your body is well-prepared for the medicine.
⚠️Because Ayahuasca is a sacred and powerful plant medicine, it’s important that your body is as clear as possible. We encourage you to begin a gentle, natural detox two weeks before the retreat, avoiding substances or medications that could interfere with the experience.
