Ayahuasca Retreat Reviews — Helping You Stay Safe with 5,000+ Independent Reviews
Luxury Ayahuasca and San Pedro retreat in the Sacred Valley of Cusco, Peru.
We specialise in helping people with a Western mindset make transformational changes. For the quality of our ceremonies and the outcomes we achieve, please see our reviews.
Of all the decisions we make in life, choosing one of personal development, investing in oneself, is the most important decision we can make. When our path takes us to question our purpose and ourselves, we begin the most rewarding journey possible.
Spiritual development is the understanding of self. As all the greatest gurus and sages have said, “Know Thyself;” just two words, but where do we start? When we come from a Western mindset and a Western educational system then we look outside ourselves for the answer. This is the wrong direction. We need to look within, and the plant medicines help us do that.
Ayahuasca and San Pedro are mind medicines. They open us to higher states of conscious awareness that would otherwise take years of dedicated meditation to achieve. Mind medicines enable us to understand the nature of consciousness well beyond the constraints of our three dimensional reality. They lift our vibration into the higher dimensions and help us appreciate life and what it is meant to simply be. Ayahuasca and San Pedro are life-changing experiences; they help us discover what we really are and help cure depression, stress and anxiety related issues.
At Munay we believe it is important to experience these wonderful sacred plant medicines in a calm and tranquil setting. From our experience, both as individual participants and providers of the medicines, we believe that quiet and solitude are key factors in maximising the benefits the sacred plants bring. We want people to develop a personal relationship with the plants, however we’re always at hand if support is needed. Ceremonies all start with a meditation centering the clients before the effects of the medicines become noticeable.

November 25, 2015 at 12:00 amJust back from an amazing 10 day retreat at David Walton Munay Medicine. If you want to heal your past, connect with Gaia and the Divine, get messages and directions for your life in the safest and most beautiful environment possible, go and visit David and his wonderful team. I experienced with the purest and highest Mama Ayahuesca and Father Cactus prepared by Max the Alchemist, supported and cared for by David the big heart and the soft and grounded Bianca. I know I have been through a life changing experience. I chose Munay Medicine instead of the many in the jungle because I wanted to feel safe and be allowed to follow my body and soul in a comfortable and peaceful environment rather than follow a program for everybody. On top of that, I followed an organic vegan diet (it is optional). I feel detoxed while my energy has also evolved for the better. Hugely grateful to David, Max and Bianca xx

October 22, 2015 at 12:00 amBesides having potent plant medicine, Munay really provides the other crucial aspect to the retreat experience. They have excellent rooms, and fresh, wholesome food. So, whether you are just learning more about yourself, or dealing with more in depth healing, that is all that needs to be on your mind. It’s all the comforts of home (and a classy one at that) surrounded by the breathtaking mountains of the Sacred Valley.

October 19, 2015 at 12:00 amMunay Medicines Resort in beautiful, energizing Huaran, Sacred Valley, Peru. It’s amazing how the universe works. Not long ago I met a couple of very lovely ladies, Ingrid and Lisa, who were house sitting for my neighbor. We soon became fast friends and I was invited to visit the country of their residence…Peru. During their stay we discussed many topics but one in particular seemed to really capture my interest. They were discussing means of maintaining good health naturally which included Plant Medicines. To my surprise they both were well versed in much of the process. After the ladies returned home we continued to communicate and it was recommended that during my upcoming visit I consider visiting their friend, David, at his Munay Medicines Resort located in the Sacred Valley of Peru. What a wonderful and pleasant surprise. He and I became good buddies from when we first met at Cuzco airport. Again, thanks for coming to pick me up David. Your insight into the spiritual plane is something I will always be appreciative of. You seemed to have such a wide array of experiences to pull just the most appropriate answer or resolution from…my friend. You’re the only person I know who builds a fire in the large semi-open fireplace and never needed more than 1 match…night after night. The openness and flexibility of you and your organization is something I truly appreciate and found useful. During my stay I became aware of high professionalism and friendship not only from David but from Meredith the very lovely young lady who planned and prepared the tremendous meals for us for the entire month of my stay. Not only did I enjoy her preparations of meals but she allowed me to escort her on several of her every single day trips to the market for the freshest organic produce…on the planet. The meals and her particular spirit are something I still miss today. I really don’t know why but for whatever reason, I always found myself much more grounded after conversing with Meredith. That normally doesn’t happen to me…very special. Maxwell who in my opinion is the Guru of certain Plant Medicines had energies like none other. I learned so much from discussions with him. His expertise in plant Medicines and his connections within that world gave us the best that Peru had to offer. Max would invite specialists to come visit us and we’d have growing open discussions and often the use of their specialized Plant Medicines. Max would begin speaking and I became a sponge just soaking up whatever his topic of the moment was…especially at the dinner table. I’m still amazed at the knowledge base available to us. There was a visiting client who was very advanced in the usage of Plant Medicines. She was into many things health related such as Yoga, pro Hula Hoops, Meditation, etc. Bianca as it turns out is now part of Munay Medicines and their growth toward becoming the best within the Sacred Valley. I look forward to learning a bit about Kundalini Yoga from Bianca. A very memorable event was when four of us…David, Max, Bianca, and I took a trip to Lares hot mineral springs approximately another mile higher in the Andes mountains. What a beautiful and healthy experience that was. Anyway, from fasting to the good eats to whole soul cleansing and absorption of whole live foods to re-educating self in health related topics I am feeling exceptionally healthy and highly energized. Tennis anyone? Harold

October 19, 2015 at 12:00 amAloha, I recently enjoyed a session with Wachuma at the Munay Medicine retreat. After asking the universe for a good connection, I met Bianca from the retreat at plaza de armas on my very first day here in Cusco, Peru. We exchanged contacts and soon got send some information and advice about the preperation for the medicine and how to get to the location. The next night we were already arriving at the Munay Medicine retreat in Huaran, located in the beautiful and magical sacred valley Urubamba. Two friends of mine (first timers) and me were welcomed warmly, picked up from the bus stop and guided by Bianca across a gently flowing creek into the cricket and frog soundscape of this wonderful place. After introducing us to the other residents of the retreat and making us familiar with the location, we were offered the well made Wachuma tea. So far it was the best I’ve ever had. Throughout the night it was possible to have deep conversations with the other participants, do activities like singing in a group, resting at the fireplace, going into a Maloka (quiet harmonious room) to meditate, walking around the beautiful garden and/or just being stunned by the star ancestors and the bright broad milkyway above (there is almost no light pollution out there). We were always looked after and assisted by the sitters, who chopped up amaizing fruit and prepared a soup for us (all included). The two friends of mine were able to enjoy a very positive first encounter with the medicine, and I also was very statisfied with the work. The possibility of digging deeper is given and there is many possibilities to expand ones consciousness even more, if requested. The Munay Medicine retreat offers a lot of space, even small apartments to rent. A lot of wood, hammocks, sofas, soft carpets and a fireplace make the place vibrate in a comfortable frequency. All in all I can highly recommend to visit this retreat, as for beginners as well as for advanced practicioners with the medicine. Seeing like-minded people putting so much passion and effort in spreading healing plant information in human consciousness makes my heart feel warm and light. Thank you Dave, Max and Bianca, for running this project. Love Love Love Amaru

October 16, 2015 at 12:00 amI was lucky enough to meet Bianca and get invited to a special Super Blood Moon San Pedro ceremony… it was my first experience trying any sort of psychedelic or with any of the Andean plant medicines around. They were very knowledgeable and friendly and respected the fact that it was my first time. I felt very comfortable with the people, and felt that Max and Bianca would be able to help if anything started to worry me. As the eclipse happened the stars came out, and as I watched them dance, I had a feeling wash over me that this was where I should be, and moving to Peru was the right choice. Thank you guys for a wonderful experience!
