Guest housing consists of several "malukas", two story wooden huts with traditional thatched roofs. They are fully screened, have a bathroom, and four netted beds.

   
 

El Centro is a massive, three story structure that is the hub of activity with the kitchen, dining area and meeting space. It is also a great place from which to view the sunset while relaxing in your hammock.

 
 
 

The Ceremony House is a large, round two story structure, 50 feet in diameter with a 30 foot rise to the roof in the center of the ceremony room. There is a bench around the circumference where participants sit to engage with Ayahuasca in the traditional manner.
 

Diet Malukas, retreat huts for individual practitioners are situated in jungle locations that are private yet serviceable from the Centro. These will support the more intense practice of the Shaman Diet.  Learn more about the Shaman Diet
