October 6, 2018 at 4:03 pmThe staff at Blue Morpho are the best. The shamans are full of loving intent, something that is absolutely necessary when partaking in an ayahuasca retreat. To go into ceremony like this you need a place you feel safe, loved, and cared for. Blue Morpho is just this.

October 5, 2018 at 8:27 pmBlue Morpho offers much and then delivers way beyond expectations.
The atmosphere, created by the professionalism and warm approachability of every carefully selected staff member, manifests an extraordinarily safe space in which to venture into the powerful, world-view changing, deeply revealing and healing journeys you will take facilitated by the plant medicines and guided by the skilled, experienced and wonderfully compassionate, yet self-effacing, shamans. At Blue Morpho you will, with your own willingness to engage your heart/mind in guided plant spirit medicine journeys, receive an opportunity to (immediately or eventually, but inevitably) transform your life situation, and step into your own powerful and creative truth. This is my experience. The shamanic journey is a direct portal to your “true” life, which continues long after you return home to daily life. Intention is the key.
If you are considering engaging in these experiences you could not place yourself in better hands than those at Blue Morpho. Blessings on your journey ❤️.

September 22, 2018 at 3:52 pmThe experience at Blue Morpho exceeded my expectations in every way. The staff are outstanding, thoroughly professional and very experienced/educated in the use of sacred plant medicines. The premises are beyond the standard one would expect from a secluded jungle retreat. Hot water is available 24/7. Food is prepared by professional chefs and there is a good variety of culinary options that change daily. Electricity is available in the main communal building so electronic devices can be kept charged. The accommodation is comfortable and room service is provided. There is also a free laundry service. Many activities are provided during the day so there is no chance of boredom setting in between ceremonies. Traditional jungle tobacco is available to buy as are professional massages. The facility has a natural lake for swimming and several trails through the jungle within the private reserve. There are also two quiet meditation bungalows. A swimming pool is currently under construction and close to completion as of September 2018.
The way the shamanic team conduct the ceremonies is excellent and feels truly authentic. The ambience created in the ceremony hall is perfect before, during and after the ceremony. Throughout the process the participants are under constant supervision with immediate assistance available if required. The environment feels 100% safe at all times.
To summarise, I cannot fault the Blue Morpho experience. I strongly recommend this retreat as the perfect place to go for your Ayahuasca journey. You will not be disappointed.

April 3, 2018 at 2:13 pmI have been to Ayahuasca ceremonies all over South and Central America.
Blue Morpho is probably fine for newbies that aren’t familiar with what a real ceremony should entail.
Although I’ve not been to Blue Morpho for about 10 years, my experience there left a bad taste in my mouth.
The self appointed (shaman) maestro Hamilton joked and laughed out loud throughout the ceremony while the rest of us were deeply into the experience, this was so disruptive and showed a lack of respect, for us AND for the sacrament.
The next morning I brough it up but to no avail, the following ceremony was again disrupted by his joking and laughter with maestro Alberto.
Blue Morpho was very fortunate due to a great (accidental) media exposure that catapulted him into the lime-light overnight, and then the dollar signs just started flashing. I saw that taking place.
If he cared about the people he supposedly helps, he could charge MUCH less than his $1,500 per head, which is in keeping with a greedy money making scheme.
There are other places to go where the PATH is more important than the MONEY.

September 29, 2018 at 7:19 pmDear Xman,
Thank you for sharing your comments on your experience at Blue Morpho. We always strive to accommodate and guide each person to the best of our abilities as they go through their ayahuasca experience. We take our work with plant medicine very seriously and are continuing to improve and adapt with each retreat.
Over the last 10 years, we have evolved as an ayahuasca retreat center. This evolution has touched on each aspect of our work: how we approach and guide the ayahuasca experience, the activities that we offer to help participants process, understand and integrate; the quality of food and guest service, our attention to detail, upgrades and improvements to our physical location, including sustainable land use research and practice. Our costs are reflective of this, including inflation, a longstanding 16-year relationship with our clients and our employees, and high standards of guest and shamanic service.
What remains at the core of our work with plant medicine is the dedication that we have as an organization to offer the best in shamanic medicine, service, professionalism and integrity. Our single aim is to support our guests in receiving what they are looking to receive from the medicine, whether that is healing, learning, personal and spiritual development, or simply discovering meaning and a new way to live better lives with less suffering as human beings.
Part of our approach with the medicine and on the mesa includes lightheartedness. This is never done with disrespect. Rather, this is an expression of the joy in the practice and the wisdom of the heart. Thousands of ayahuasca ceremonies will show how important and liberating it is to laugh at oneself and the contradictions found in the human experience, especially when things are getting heavy. Our participants often share how this helps soften the energies and ease the tension. In our mesa, a ceremony is akin to a celebration of life and everything that it includes.
At the same time, we understand that there are many things in ayahuasca ceremonies that disturb people, and certainly not only laughter. We take every measure that we can to create a safe and comfortable environment for everyone, taking into consideration all the variables.
In our experience over the last 16 years as an ayahuasca center, we are constantly learning how to facilitate the ayahuasca experience with greater and greater efficacy. This would not be possible without feedback from past guests, even if it relates to a Blue Morpho that has changed significantly since your visit. This is very important to us, and we appreciate you taking the time to offer your comments.
Kind Regards,
The Blue Morpho Team
