Private Ayahuasca & San Pedro Retreat in the heart of San Pedro de Vilcabamba, in Loja, Ecuador. Casa Del Sol works with small groups to optimize the quality of your experience, and share the space as a family. Blessed with a beautiful location within the Valley of Longevity, we integrate ourselves with its powerful medicine; our retreats include walking through its mountains, cleansing ourselves in the waterfalls and in the river in front of our home. We make offerings, meditate, practice yoga, hold sweat lodges and plant medicine ceremonies to encourage this integration.

September 22, 2018 at 4:28 pmI joined Santiago and Ximena for a San Pedro ceremony in January 2018 and had an amazing experience. Beforehand Santiago met with us to discuss the ceremony and our intentions, which was important because each person in the ceremony had an affect on the group experience. Casa del Sol is a truly beautiful location and the ceremony site has a distinct energy as well. When the ceremony started Santiago led he proceedings, Ximena assisted and Charlie was the fire keeper. The team did an amazing job of harnessing the magic of the plant and I still cherish the experience 9 months later. Thank you Santiago, Ximena, and Charlie, I hope to return!

September 22, 2018 at 3:46 pmI had the pleasure of participating in a San pedro session with Santiago a couple years ago in a retreat, and it was a very insightful moment that reminded me how beautiful life can be. Definitely one of the deepest self-reflection moments I have had thanks to Santiago and his traditions from his ancestors.

September 19, 2018 at 12:16 pmCasa Del Sol is an amazing place and Santiago and Ximena are genuine, beautiful and loving people. I am thankful to have been able to sit in 3 San Pedro ceremonies with Santiago. Each ceremony was profound and healing, Santiago is truly an amazing Shaman. I look forward to returning to Ecuador and taking part in more ceremonies with Santiago and Ximena. Their presence, and love for spirit, this earth and all beings is felt in ceremony and spending time with them. The land that Casa Del Sol on is magical with a river and San Pedro growing all around. It is very peaceful

September 16, 2018 at 12:22 amI had the privilege and pleasure to take part in a 10 day retreat with Santiago, Ximena and their family. The experience is something that is difficult to put into words. I can say that it is life changing and am so grateful for everything I have learned. The time and experiences I have shared with them, I truly value and will remember forever. I consider them part of my family and dear friends. I hope that I can continue to come back throughout my life to continue learning. I highly recommend to anybody interested, that if you feel the calling, to listen to your heart and follow it. Thank you for everything you do Santiago and Ximena. You are wonderful people with beautiful hearts

September 14, 2018 at 4:28 pmI have to start by saying that Santiago work through a very specific lineage of life-long healers, not the ones that do bullshit energy work, REAL healers. The type of work that will take you back to your very core while understanding new and better ways of understanding life outside, with no need of explanations, impositions, or preconceived judgements. Personally I just came back from a Man Journey up in the mountains and had a very straight forward glimpse of what the medicine did for me (but cant put into actual words). Aside of Ximena, his wife, they both made the place feel like a real home and a familiar environment; which is a great thing for someone going through a complete every day in such a magical place.
The medicine offered is completely effective and should be taken with respect and precaution as one has to remember he or she is in someone else’s home. The room where you stay is cozy and full of wonders (specially while sleeping/dreaming), the rooms are feet away from a vibrant running river and under the clearest sky you’ve ever seen.
Never had a problem with food, everything was pretty tasty, it didnt feel like a “dieta” at all.
Overall, this is the place to stay if you want to really look within and cut the spiritual bulls**t off.
hope this info helps
