THE PILGRIMAGE

Spiritual retreats are held at the Yasuní National Park, home of the Waorani indigenous community. This natural and ancestral setting is ideal for authentic spiritual experiences that honor and respect traditional customs. 

The spiritual gatherings are held in either the Siona or Waorani communities, where many sacred medicinal plants can be found, including ayahuasca and other ancestral medicines used by the guardians of the Amazon.

CUISINE

During the retreats, three daily meals are provided to all groups of participating tourists. The food will vary each day and include vegetarian, non-vegetarian, and vegan options, along with fresh fruits and exotic dishes typical of the Amazon.

Everything is prepared according to the preferences and requirements of the visitors, always ensuring the highest quality and care.
