To become a butterfly, the caterpillar should give up its previous form. After that, it becomes something new, while it keeps all the good it has a caterpillar. Our retreat center is doing the same. 🦋
We are the former “Light of the Shipibo” Retreat. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐦, 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭 is the same. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 changed 𝐢s 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐲 𝐰𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐫.
We are happy to announce that we step to a new stage in our evolution so that we can fly higher, longer, and carry more weight.
For that, we are changing our name and from 𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐨𝐧, 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐛𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐝 “𝐋𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞!” 🌴
About “Lighthouse!”
“Lighthouse!” is an Ayahuasca Retreat Center located in the Heart of the Amazon Jungle in Peru🌴.
We are a boot camp for mental health training, spiritual sports, and self-exploration records. We are forging Champions of Life who want a change and are willing to make an effort for that. All it takes is commitment.🏆
We shine for those who are lost in the dark and need a sign to find the way Home. Our light is made of Health, Care, Knowledge, and Love.
We are conducting retreats for small groups ( up to 8 people). This will give you enough attention from the shamans and the team. You don’t need to be single on your journey anymore.
You would find with us an affordable, high-quality ayahuasca experience with comfort, safety, and all the necessities for a deep dive into healing, self-discovery, and love.
If you are serious about improving your life and setting your mind in order, you need allies. It would help if you had a team of people who know this path because they walked it many times. That’s us! 🙈
For any additional information, feel free to get in touch with us.

September 11, 2023 at 5:12 pmJust had the most wonderful experience at Light of the Shipibo last month. These were my first ceremonies, and I feel incredibly lucky to have trusted Light of the Shipibo with this memorable experience. Beautiful and comfortable facilities in the jungle, excursions on the rest days into the jungle and on the river, and amazing food. They really want everyone to have a beautiful and healing experience. The whole team is made up of incredible people who seriously want the best for you. The medicine was deep and profound, and the Shaman Urias was powerful and held space beautifully. This was a life-changing experience for me, and I would go back to Light of the Shipibo next time I feel called to the medicine. Thank you!

September 8, 2023 at 1:01 pmAt the Light of the Shipibo, I learned to trust life and go with the flow. I didn’t think it will ever happen to me in this lifetime (because of the childhood traumas I went through), but even for me, coming in with so little trust – it happened so naturally, and it became my new normal.
I believe, you’ll find it, too, that Maestro Jairo’s presence is so powerful in a loving and peaceful way, that it washes away all the fears and doubts about taking the Medicine, and doing it multiple times.
Before this retreat, I was a person, who always wanted to control the world around me in order to feel a little bit of safety. So you can imagine, for me, this place was too good to be true… I was looking for flaws, and read all the reviews before we landed here, just to be prepared for literally anything! And you know what? I couldn’t find a single thing that was off! One day went by after another and I only encountered pure intentions, smiling faces, love and kindness. So, YES, Light of the Shipibo is really as good as it seems! 🙂
As many before me already mentioned it, I, too, felt safe and secure the whole time. This week was so beautifully orchestrated for our highest good (as a group and also as individuals), and we were guided with so much love and kindness, insights, curiosity and courtesy. It was our first time here, so if you’ve never been here before, I assure you, you’ll also be loved and honored from the first moment you contact them, through your retreat and even after. They go above and beyond to fulfill every request that may arise.
Besides healing the deepest wounds of my heart, these are some more of the gains from my 6-day retreat: my heart feels full, I feel calm and gentle, the constant chatter and commentary stopped in my mind. The judgement became compassion, and my fears were replaced by curiosity and trust. And I released so much stress and anxiety, too.
I’m not saying that my inner work is done, but the load got so so much lighter! I’ll be forever grateful for Maestro Jairo, Joshua, Jino, Ivan, Miss Lady, Antonio and the rest of the staff for making this happen to me!! You are my favorite people! I can’t wait to come back and meet you again!
I wish you dear Reader the same gifts and even more! And when you make it there, practice opening your heart and be there fully, enjoy nature, connect with the staff daily and simply be yourself! They’ll appreciate you exactly as you are, and meet you were you’re at!
Best wishes to you all! Always remember: adventure is out there!
Love, Krisztina
P.S.: I only had 1 thing that I really missed there, and it was me not speaking Spanish. But this will be fixed for the second time! 🙂

September 7, 2023 at 11:54 pmI have spent a week at the Light of the Shipibo in August – September 2023.
Not even exaggerating – it changed my life. I went there with an open heart and returned with a full one.
I fell in love with the place – a place that clearly has a vision behind it. That vision stems from the owner, Joshua who created a wonderful retreat and personally made sure that everyone in the group feels loved and taken care of.
Joshua’s vision is manifested in the people he works with – the wonderful staff. They were absolutely perfect in providing us with the attention we needed. They were never pushing themselves on to us, but were always there whenever we needed something.
Always smiling, personal, loving.
Here are a few of them:
Ivan – from the moment you sign up he is your main contact and he takes his mission very seriously. A funny man with a wealth of information on how to prepare yourself for the retreat – from the practical (what to bring) through the dietary (the best way to prepare yourself for your journey) to the mental/spiritual (what to do to get yourself attuned to the magical experience you’ll be having there).
Jino – He will be your guide in more ways than one. From the moment he picks you up from your hotel you will be at ease. You are in good hands. He will take care of you with a smile on his face. Later on he will also take you on excursions to the jungle, on the river, to the beach and there are endless stories coming forth from a seemingly endless well. He is very well versed in his environment and also holds a degree as a Naturalist. He attended the one-on-one sessions with the Maestro and gave me very important and profound insight about my experiences.
Lady Diana – I will never forget you. A pure soul who exudes nothing but love and joy. She often sings – for no apparent reason at all. She cooked for us the whole week – and I loved it. The food is simple (as it should be for partaking in the Ayahuasca ceremonies) but varied and tasty. As they said – the main ingredient must be love. Love – served with a beautiful smile.
Antonio – a kind of jack-of-all-trades he is always there, always helping. An absolutely fantastic young man, he has cared for us from the beginning to the end. He has the energy of a puma and is very curious about you. Always trying to pick up new knowledge and new languages, we had very good conversations.
Lady Diana and Antonio also served as facilitators for the Ayahuasca ceremonies and it was amazing.
The whole experience was amazing – I literally can’t imagine a better place or a better crew for my introduction to Ayahuasca.
As for the ceremonies – I am still floored by Maestro Jairo. He is a shining light of a man. He gave me guidance with such clarity and warmth. I could not be more impressed with him.
Light of the Shipibo works with small, intimate groups and their price is unbeatable. They are not in it for the profit, but for you to experience this magical plant.
We (my wife Krisztina and me) are forever grateful for the care we received on our journey. We feel blessed, still.
I can wholeheartedly recommend Light of the Shipibo as your destination.
Be happy, be happy.

Ayahuasca ceremonies are the most introspective journeys I have ever taken. Complete peace, love and acceptance. I am new to this experience and though beautifully overwhelming these experiences profoundly affect my present. self and direction.
To live in the jungle at the Light of the Shipibo, reconnect with nature, and grounded with the energy of this retreat and it’s caring and thoughtful staff, we were well taken care of through deep compassion. Joshua, Lady Diana, Karen, Geno, Antonio and Oko- kept us safe, healthy, and well-fed! To witness a shaman bring a joyous power of healing and protection to open the healing space for these ceremonies strengthened my intentions to Mama.
Mama Aya revealed herself to me and guided me in simply amazing ways. She answered my questions and counseled me for changes I need to make.
Everyone in my group made significant gains in their mental health challenges with beautiful cathartic rising of consciousness. Light of the Shipibo is a wonderful place full of caring staff that will enrich your life and prepare you for a new path forward.
