Safe Ayahuasca Retreat Colombia 2025 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. 🌿✨ Why Colombia is a World-Class Destination for Ayahuasca​ 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. SAFE AYAHUASCA RETREAT COLOMBIA 2025 The Location – Retreat in the Amazon, Putumayo 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 AmazonMocoa 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 ComfortImmersion 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. SAFE AYAHUASCA RETREAT in COLOMBIA 2025 – the program 5 Ayahuasca Ceremonies and Other Therapies 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 GuidanceThe 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 PlacesAs 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. Complementary Healing Experiences 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. When Private Ayahuasca Sessions Might Be Preferable 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 TeamA 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
