Here you have an opportunity to re-write your own story in a place where the possibilities are endless.
| Forge your path with the loving support of a land where humans and nature live in harmony, where emails can wait and the dolphins invite you to play, where there are no limits to your power to change your mind and open your heart.
Whether you’re seeking trauma healing, spiritual clarity, or a return to self, this is a space to slow down, feel held, and reconnect with your true nature. No distractions, no pressure, just the power of the plants, the wisdom of the land, and the safety to explore your inner world. |
We are proud to work exclusively with female shamans, honoring their sacred role in the unfolding of a new, more compassionate world.
In this time of global transformation, we believe that empathy, emotional intelligence, and intuitive connection — the gifts of the feminine — are essential to healing ourselves and our planet.
The tender, smooth energies of our shamans harmonize beautifully with the light, magical energy of the land, creating a container that is deeply supportive, gentle, and profoundly powerful.
All women and men are invited to find their inner balance between their masculine and feminine strengths.

Our retreats now come in two formats: the 11-day retreat with five ayahuasca ceremonies, including a diagnostic first ceremony and a final arkana, and the 7-day retreat with three ceremonies.
The dosage for each ceremony is determined in close communication between the guest, the facilitator, and the Onayabo.

Our facilitators Montserrat and Aum gently tune into the needs of each group and design supportive practices such as yoga, breathwork, or guided meditation.
These sessions help the body to release tension, strengthen inner balance, and prepare for the deep work of the ceremonies.
In the quiet mornings or late afternoons, participants are invited to reconnect with their breath, stretch and cultivate presence.

On ceremony days, fresh smoothies or soups are prepared to optimally support your experience.
On non-ceremony days, our kitchen serves wholesome dishes that include not only vegan options but also fresh fish, meat, or other protein sources, depending on availability.
Whenever possible, ingredients from our permaculture garden are used in our meals.

Included in your retreat is a boat tour of the Golfo Dulce to spot dolphins, whales, manta rays, and sea turtles, as well as a kayak tour up the Esquina River mangrove swamp to see birds, crocodiles, and more.
Additionally, enjoy a guided snorkeling experience at Puma Beach. Please note that all tours are subject to weather and tide conditions.

Snorkel equipment, 1- and 2-person kayaks, and stand-up paddle boards are always available to you.
Visit our coral reef, test your balance at high tide, or paddle up the coastline.
We offer well-maintained trails that lead through the national park, providing excellent opportunities for wildlife observation. If you walk all the trails in one go, it takes about 1.5 to 2 hours.

In addition to the nature activities that naturally support integration, both individual and group sessions are offered.
The more information the Onayabo and the faciltators have, the deeper they can carry out their work.

We would like to offer those who are new to the world of ayahuasca the opportunity to talk to our experts in advance. We encourage you to book a consultation call, if you feel unsure or need further information.
We believe in you, we support you, and we cannot wait to see what you create.

2 weeks agoyou have been scrolling and debating about your next journey, no need to scroll any further. THIS IS YOUR PLACE! Authentic, True and located in a fabulous location. I had the opportunity to spend a week with these wonderful people and my heart is still there. Artemisia & Rudy (kitchen staff) Healthy with great selection Prepared with perfection and pure passion for their jobs. Theolinda & Edita (Shamans) This mother daughter team delivered an experience that words cannot explain. Supportive, knowledgeable in the medicine and wise. Their voices when they sang, handsdown is absolutely healing in itself. Montserrat & Aum (Facilitators) These two are a power team and some some of the most beautiful individuals I have ever met. Kind, compassionate, fun, great listeners with a knowledge of the medicine beyond their years. A big shout out to the rest of the team who keep the grounds and accommodations clean and comfortable. I will return back without a doubt in my mind, this place is magical. Forever in my heart and once again thank you all for everything!

2 weeks agoI had such a wonderful experience at this retreat and feel deeply grateful for everything that was created and held for us. The shamans and facilitators were truly incredible — their presence, care, and professionalism made me feel safe, supported, and guided throughout the entire journey. They did an amazing job holding the space with so much integrity and heart. A big thanks to the whole team for creating such a beautiful and transformative experience. Every detail felt intentional and aligned. The food was absolutely delicious, nourishing both body and soul, and the environment itself was simply magical — being surrounded by nature and feeling that direct connection made everything even more special. I’m leaving with so much gratitude, clarity, and a full heart. Thank you so much for this unforgettable experience.

3 weeks ago(Translated by Google) Pandorita is a true haven of peace, a secluded, tranquil place surrounded by nature. Nestled in a lush coastal jungle, the retreat welcomes you awoke to monkeys in the trees, the spectacle of toucans and macaws soaring overhead, and sometimes even dolphins nearby. Daily swimming, breathtaking sunsets, and the simplicity of the surroundings create an environment conducive to disconnecting and slowing down. I arrived skeptical, anxious, and nervous, and left feeling calm, serene, and profoundly transformed. It was the perfect setting for my first retreat experience. I was a little apprehensive at first, but the kindness that pervades the place allowed my fears to gradually fade away. The small groups offer a highly personalized experience, far removed from mass retreats. The team is professional, attentive, and fully present. The Shipibo maestras convey a powerful authenticity through their songs and teachings. The accommodations are clean and comfortable. The food is part of a detoxification process that provides a surprising sense of well-being, helping your body regenerate, reconnect with itself, and break free from automatic patterns to refocus on its true needs. This isn't a luxury retreat, but something far more precious: an intimate, authentic, and profoundly human experience. If you feel the call, trust it. (Original review) Pandorita feels like a hidden sanctuary, remote, peaceful, and deeply immersed in nature. Located in a stunning coastal jungle, you wake up to monkeys in the trees, see toucans and macaws flying overhead, and sometimes even dolphins nearby. Daily swims, breathtaking sunsets, and the simplicity of the environment create a space where you can truly disconnect and slow down. I arrived with skepticism, fear, and an overstimulated nervous system, and left feeling grounded, calm, and deeply transformed. For me, it was the perfect setting for a first experience. I was honestly scared at the beginning, but the way the space is held allowed my fears to gently fade away. The group sizes are very small, which makes the experience highly personal and far from mass retreats. The team is professional, caring, and fully present. The Shipibo maestras bring a powerful sense of authenticity through their songs and guidance. The accommodations are clean and comfortable. The food is part of a detox process that leaves you feeling surprisingly good, helping your body reset, reconnect, and move away from automatic habits toward what it truly needs. This is not a luxury retreat, but something far more valuable: an intimate, authentic, and deeply human experience. If you feel called, trust it.

3 weeks agoI went into my experience a bit nervous but with an open mind. Immediately we welcomed with open arms and open hearts by the facilitators Aum and Monserrat. They were always kind, supportive, and open to listening. I felt really well taken care of at Pandorita. The food Artemisia and Rudy made was absolutely amazing. It was colorful, nutrient dense, and easy on my sensitive digestive tract. Julia and Oliver have done a great job caring for the grounds. They make it such a beautiful place to be. Marisol and the volunteers did a lovely job keeping the buildings clean. Everything felt so fresh on a daily basis. The shamans were incredible. I am so honored to have had my ayahuasca experience with Theolinda and Edita. Their voices were beautiful and went through me like a storm shaking up and cleansing what they could during ceremony. I will forever be grateful for this magical place. I will be back.
