While at the Refugio, there is ample are plenty of opportunities to hike in the jungle, visit the campo, row a dugout canoe, and take a swim. If you want to really feel like a Campesino you may get the chance to help during seasonal yucca harvests.

For guests on retreat, those looking for healing and alignment, and those engaging in Ayahuasca ceremonies, the main activity we recommend is non-activity. The environment supports your self awareness which is anchored by being with your body sensations, feelings and thoughts.

Regardless, there is sufficient time to read, journal, walk, meditate, contemplate, do your Yoga or Tai Chi, lay in a hammock, engage in conversations with fellow guests, and with Scott, the shamans and the staff.

EXCURSIONS
In addition to treks through the Refugio, we often make river journeys throughout the area.

Depending on the length of stay, you may accompany us into the nearby town of Tamishakyu where you can see and interact with the locals and get a feel for life in a small jungle town.

We often will take guests to Chino or another of the villages further up the Amazon. Depending on the time of year, there are places where we can camp in huts and do ceremonies in more remote venues.

We also lead groups to other sites around Peru such as the Nazca lines, Huascaran National Park and Lake Titicaca. The most popular trip is to Cuzco and the surrounding areas where we journey to Macchu Picchu, hike to the top of Huanay Picchu, soak in the hot mineral springs of Aguas Calientes, and enjoy the ruins in the beautiful Sacred Urabamba Valley of the Incas.
