Safe Ayahuasca Retreat Colombia 2025 Welcome to Master Plan Retreat. Would you like to join us in a healing journey...
Welcome to Master Plan Retreat. Would you like to join us in a healing journey in Putumayo? We are holding space this next September for a Safe Ayahuasca Retreat in Colombia 2025. 🌿✨
When people think of Ayahuasca, they often imagine Peru or Brazil, yet Colombia holds a quieter, deeper truth. In the Colombian Amazon, Ayahuasca is not just a medicine—it’s a living relationship between the jungle, its guardians, and those who come seeking transformation. The Putumayo region, with its rivers, ancient trees, and ancestral lineages, offers a setting where ceremony is woven into the fabric of everyday life. Here, you’re not simply “attending” a retreat—you’re entering an ecosystem of wisdom where safety, tradition, and modern comfort coexist, allowing the journey to unfold without distraction or cultural dilution.
Choosing where to drink Ayahuasca is as important as choosing who will guide you. The Putumayo region in Colombia is more than a backdrop—it is part of the medicine. Its mountains roll into the vast Amazon basin, carrying stories in the wind and minerals in the rivers. This land has been walked by generations of taitas, healers who see the jungle not as scenery but as a teacher. In this environment, every sound—the call of a bird, the rush of water—can become part of your ceremony.
Why Mocoa is the Gateway to the Amazon
Mocoa sits at a threshold where Andean energy meets the humid pulse of the Amazon. This confluence shapes the spiritual texture of the place: grounded yet expansive, rooted yet flowing. It is a space where the lessons of the mountains meet the visions of the forest, creating fertile ground for deep personal insight.
Samawe Eco Resort – Jungle Immersion with Modern Comfort
Immersion in nature doesn’t have to mean sacrificing comfort. Samawe Eco Resort, located just outside Mocoa, in the south of Colombia, respects its surroundings while offering private or shared cabins, nourishing vegetarian meals, a swimming pool, and access to a clear river. This balance ensures you can step fully into the intensity of Ayahuasca work, knowing you have a safe, restorative space to return to after each ceremony. Here, the jungle is always present framing your days in beauty yet your body can rest deeply, allowing the spirit to travel further.
At Master Plan Retreats, we believe a safe Ayahuasca retreat in the Amazon is not just about what happens in ceremony—it’s about the entire journey that surrounds it. Our 9-day Ayahuasca retreat in Mocoa, Putumayo, is intentionally structured to create a steady rhythm between deep medicine work and modern, science-informed therapies that help you integrate what you discover. The program alternates ceremony nights with days dedicated to bodywork, emotional processing, and time in nature, so each insight has space to settle before the next journey begins.
5 Ayahuasca Ceremonies with Ancestral Guidance
The heart of this retreat is the series of five Ayahuasca ceremonies in Colombia 2025, led by Taita José Atahualpa and Taita David Queta—sons of the late Taita Querubín Queta Alvarado, a respected elder of the Colombian Amazon. Their work blends centuries-old songs (icaros), prayers, and traditional plant knowledge with an acute sensitivity to the needs of modern seekers. Under their guidance, each ceremony becomes both a personal and collective voyage, rooted in ancestral wisdom yet responsive to the present moment.
Activities in Natural Sacred Places
As part of your Ayahuasca retreat in the Amazon, we spend time visiting sacred waterfalls, jungle trails, and pristine rivers. These are not simple excursions—they are part of the healing journey. In these spaces, silence becomes a teacher, the earth a healer, and water a purifier. Many participants find that nature mirrors the visions received in ceremony, deepening their connection to both the medicine and themselves.
While Ayahuasca is the central medicine, our holistic approach integrates modern and traditional therapies to support body, mind, and spirit:
Cacao Ceremony (Closing Ritual): Held at the end of the retreat, this gentle heart-opening ritual helps anchor the lessons of the week. Cacao’s natural compounds foster emotional warmth, gratitude, and a sense of closure, allowing participants to leave feeling whole and connected.
Integration Sessions: Facilitated by experienced guides, these circles are spaces to process visions, emotions, and insights. Sharing and listening in community transforms abstract experiences into clear steps for daily life.
Meditation & Breathwork: Grounding practices that help calm the nervous system, improve focus, and prepare the mind for the intensity of Ayahuasca visions. Breathwork, in particular, can release stored tension and open emotional pathways before or after ceremonies.
Therapeutic Massage: Deep tissue or relaxing bodywork helps release physical blocks and supports emotional release stored in the muscles. This is especially valuable after intense visionary nights.
Optional Kambó: A potent cleansing ritual from the Amazon, using the secretion of the giant tree frog. Kambó is known for detoxifying the body, boosting immunity, and clearing energetic stagnation, preparing you for deeper Ayahuasca work.
Why Safety and Guidance Matter in a Retreat
In the growing world of plant medicine tourism, safety is not a luxury—it is the foundation of a truly transformative experience. At Master Plan Retreats, we believe a safe Ayahuasca retreat in the Amazon begins long before the first ceremony. It starts with carefully selecting experienced guides, offering medical and psychological preparation, and creating an environment where participants feel held and respected. Without these elements, the medicine’s potential can be diluted—or worse, lead to unnecessary distress.
The Role of the Taita and the Facilitator Team
A skilled Taita is not just someone who pours the brew—they are a navigator of the invisible. In our Ayahuasca retreat in Mocoa, the ceremonies are led by Taita José Atahualpa and Taita David Queta, whose ancestral lineage carries the teachings of the late Taita Querubín Queta Alvarado. Their presence ensures that the medicine is served in the right way, at the right moment, with the right prayers. Alongside them, our facilitator team—trained in both traditional Amazonian practice and modern therapeutic approaches—provides continuous emotional, physical, and energetic support.
Medical and Emotional Preparedness
We require all participants to make sure their health is in good conditions before joining our Ayahuasca Retreat in Colombia 2025. This helps ensure there are no contraindications with medications, health conditions, or emotional states that could compromise safety. Pre-retreat guidance includes dietary and lifestyle recommendations to prepare the body, as well as mindset coaching to set clear intentions. During the retreat, our team remains available, offering check-ins, integration sessions, and immediate support for anyone experiencing emotional overwhelm. The goal is not simply to keep participants safe—it’s to ensure that every challenge becomes a gateway to deeper healing.
Not all Ayahuasca retreats in Colombia are created equal. At Master Plan Retreats, we design each journey to combine the depth of ancestral tradition with the clarity and structure of modern therapeutic support. The result is an experience where participants can work intensely with the medicine while feeling safe, understood, and cared for on every level. Our approach is immersive but never overwhelming—each element of the retreat is chosen to help you integrate profound spiritual insights into your everyday life.
Limited to 15 Participants for Deep Connection
Limiting our Ayahuasca retreat in Mocoa to just 15 participants creates an intimate environment where every individual receives personal attention. This small group size fosters a sense of trust, making it easier to share openly during integration sessions and to feel genuinely supported by both the facilitators and fellow participants. The connections formed here often continue long after the retreat ends, becoming part of each person’s ongoing healing journey.
A Holistic Approach to Healing
While Ayahuasca is the heart of our work, it is not the only medicine we use. Our Ayahuasca retreat in the Amazon incorporates breathwork, meditation, massage, and time in sacred nature to address the physical, emotional, and energetic aspects of transformation. This blending of ancestral and modern modalities ensures that healing is not just a visionary experience but a grounded, lasting change. We see the retreat as a living ecosystem—each ceremony, therapy, and activity working together to restore balance and awaken potential.
Our next Ayahuasca Retreat in Colombia will take place from September 22 to 30, 2025, in the lush region of Putumayo, at Samawe Eco Resort near Mocoa. This 9-day journey combines five Ayahuasca ceremonies, a closing cacao ceremony, integration work, complementary therapies, and time in sacred natural sites. Group size is limited to 15 participants to ensure personal attention and a safe, supportive environment.
DATES AND PRICING
The retreat runs for nine full days: arrival on September 22, departure on September 30. Pricing ranges from USD 2,200 to USD 3,000, depending on your chosen accommodation:
Private cabin for maximum privacy and comfort.
Shared cabin (2 or 3 people) for those who enjoy community living while still having space to rest.
All meals are vegetarian, prepared with fresh local ingredients to support the Ayahuasca diet.
HOW TO BOOK YOUR SPOT
To reserve your spot at Master Plan Retreats, we recommend booking early due to the limited number of places. The booking process includes a medical screening form and a short interview to ensure the retreat is right for you. Once confirmed, you’ll receive preparation guidelines to help you arrive physically and emotionally ready.
A safe Ayahuasca retreat in the Amazon is an investment in your deepest healing. If you feel the call, now is the time to answer—before the spaces are gone.
There are moments in life when an inner voice becomes impossible to ignore—a quiet but persistent call to go deeper, to heal, to remember who you truly are. An Ayahuasca retreat in Colombia, especially in the sacred lands of Putumayo, is not just a trip; it is a passage. For nine days, you will step away from the noise of daily life and into a space where the jungle speaks, the medicine teaches, and you are supported every step of the way by experienced guides and a caring community.
At Master Plan Retreats, we hold this work with the seriousness and reverence it deserves, blending ancestral Amazonian wisdom with modern integration tools. The journey begins when you say yes—not only to the retreat, but to yourself. If your heart feels the pull, the Amazon is ready to welcome you.
