Naturalia Retreat Center – Authentic Ayahuasca & Plant Diets in the Heart of the Amazon

Hidden deep in the Peruvian Amazon, Naturalia Retreat Center is a sanctuary of healing, authenticity, and reconnection.
We welcome you as family, in a sacred and intimate space where the jungle itself becomes your teacher and the medicine your guide.

Our retreats are guided by Shipibo healers from ancient and respected lineages who carry the ancestral wisdom of Ayahuasca with deep reverence.
Each ceremony takes place in our Sacred Maloca, surrounded by the living forest, following the purest Shipibo traditions — with icaros (sacred songs) that cleanse, guide, and open the heart.

We receive only five participants per retreat, allowing us to adapt personally to each guest’s rhythm and needs. This small, family-sized format offers deep presence, flexibility, and genuine care — a level of attention rarely possible in larger, more touristic centers.

During your stay, you will have several private and confidential interviews with the Shipibo maestros, who are available 24 hours a day for healing, guidance, or reassurance. Their kindness and wisdom create a safe, sacred container for profound transformation.

At Naturalia, we also offer traditional plant diets (dietas) for those who feel called to deepen their journey. This ancient practice, rooted in the most authentic Shipibo tradition, invites silence, introspection, and direct communion with the spirit of the Amazonian plants — a transformative encounter with yourself and nature.

Our multilingual facilitators (fluent in Spanish, English, French, Portuguese, and Italian) live on site, are trained in first aid, and accompany each guest with gentleness, integrity, and professionalism.
Your safety and well-being are our absolute priority.

Naturalia is located within a 38-hectare protected rainforest reserve, just two hours from Iquitos, where wildlife, plants, and humans coexist in harmony. Guests stay in private bungalows with ensuite toilets, surrounded by the vibrant sounds of the jungle. Meals are organic, plant-based, and lovingly prepared to support your healing and integration process.

In addition to the ceremonies, we offer yoga, meditation, flower baths, jungle walks, local farm visits, and cacao workshops — moments of grounding and joy that help embody your inner work.

Beyond personal healing, Naturalia is also committed to preserving the Amazon rainforest and its wildlife, supporting local native communities, and rescuing animals that have suffered from deforestation or captivity.
By joining us, you become part of a larger movement of healing — for yourself, for the Earth, and for all living beings.

At Naturalia, you are not a tourist — you are a traveler of the soul.
We honor your courage to heal and walk beside you with compassion, authenticity, and care, from your first step in the jungle to your return to the world, renewed and reconnected.

Come and live this sacred experience — a journey of healing, love, and awakening in the heart of the Amazon.

    I had such an amazing experience at Naturalia. Staying right in the middle of the jungle and going through this spiritual journey was something I will never forget!

    Manu and Paola were super friendly and caring. They really listened to what we wanted from the experience, and the ceremonies with their songs and music were beautiful.

    The schedule was great – yoga, meditation, ceremonies – all of it helped me feel healed, refreshed, and really connected to nature.
    My cottage was comfortable and private, the staff were very kind, and the food was delicious! + gorgeous dog and cats!

    The price is totally fair for everything they offer.
    A truly special place!

    Naturalia was the perfect place to completely rediscover myself and life. My personal needs for growth were always given the space they required, and I believe Naturalia is the ideal place to dive deeper into self-exploration. Each participant is supported individually—from preparation to the integration of what they’ve experienced.

    I’ve now taken part for the second time and honestly can’t imagine a better retreat. It truly is an all-around carefree experience.

    Additionally, there’s the option to spend a week afterward exploring Cusco, Machu Picchu, and many other Inca sites together with the other participants.

    Accommodation and all necessary transportation are taken care of as well — the perfect way to breathe in Peru’s rich history after all the inner experiences.

    No matter what brings you to Peru or what you’re looking for, Naturalia is definitely worth a visit.

    Thank you for everything — see you next time 😉

    Outstanding 2 weeks experience at Naturalia Retreat center and Cusco/sacred valley.
    I highly recommend to any first timer as well as experienced with plant medecines.
    The place is just stunning, in the middle of the amazon rainforest with all the needed confort in your private bungalow.
    The plant medecine experience is tailored as the maximum number of participant is limited to 5 at the opposite of all other centers where you share with dozen of other participant which is a bit intimidating as it s supposed to be a very intimate experience.
    the Shamans are just amazing taking the time to explain how it works and also post experience debrief which is full of learnings.
    Manu and Paola the center managers are doing Everything to make you feel safe and have the best possible experience.
    I was so much in love with the place and with their management that i signed up for a week to visit machu picchu and sacred valley where Manu himself took me there. it was a sensational and fun experience where he managed everything from A to Z making me feel super safe.
    I can t thank Manu and Paola enough for this awesome time i spent with them in their center and in cusco and region.
    Don t think twice and go get yourselt a once in a lifetime experience i promise you won’t regret.

    Since I am just planning to go back again for another time, I would like to tell you about my experience.
    This place is truly unique and very special. It creates a trustworthy and sheltered atmosphere, so one can deeply let go and relax. The food they provide in the different dietas is delicous and the whole team consists of lovingly and very adorable people. The facilitators, Paula and Manu, were very professional in dealing with complexe issues and offered the best support I could have ever imagined. I apreciated the whole package a lot and would definitely recommend a week at Naturalia. Thank you for this uplifting and growthstimulating experience!
