Discover our Ayahuasca retreat

We are dedicated to providing Ayahuasca retreats in the traditional lineage of native Shamans to heal and awaken.

Ayahuasca healing

Today many people are looking for alternatives to western medicine in order to heal themselves in a spiritual way.

THE PILLARS OF OUR WORK

Ayahuasca retreats in a safe and comfortable environment

This is the foundation of our work. We want to offer you a protected, caring and confortable environment. We are devoted to offering the best spiritual experience, expansion of consciousness and initiation of spiritual awakening. This is done through the help of the sacred medicine and the experience of Maestro Curandero Don Lucho Rimachi.

Ethics and professionalismo

It is very important for us to provide professionalism and follow protocols in order to ensure a safe retreat. Some Ayahuasca retreats offer more than five ceremonies a week, and it has been our professional experience that this is excessive. Ayahuasca requires at least two days to be processed by the mind, body, and soul. It is our intention for our guests integrate the teachings of The Mother Plant into their lives, and allow all parts of their being to be healed. In complying with our ethics, and the greatest good of our guests, there are no more than three ceremonies per week at Selva Madre (4 for 10 days).

Opportunity for a life transformation

We want to offer the opportunity to you and our beloved attendants to awaken in the best conditions. Our vision is to provide a deep change in your future and personal awakening. Selva Madre is also a community of people helping one another in order to have the best Ayahuasca retreat.

A renowned center

Selva Madre welcomes guests from all over the world and is considered on the best places for healing therapy and an authentic spiritual retreat. Don Luis Rimachi has been a practicing Shaman for over 30 years in local Native Communities. His dedication is to heal and guide the guests of this land to new accomplishments on their spiritual journey. The Ayahuasca that we brew has no additives; only fresh Ayahuasca vines and Chacruna (Yahe) leaves are used. We have a strict policy to brew that medicine by experienced Curanderos while fasting to incorporate the purest and highest energies in our medicine.

Human structure with love and care

Selva Madre is a family owned and operated center. It is our intent to offer you a unique experience with excellent care. The family atmosphere that is provided at Selva Madre allows you to integrate into a generational lineage of healers. The embrace that is provided to all that arrive is done with the fondness of the spiritual and cultural backgrounds of all that attend. We welcome all walks of life with loving arms, and are enchanted to sharing a devotion to personal healing, and transformation. Everything is made for you to feel at home during your experience, your awakening and your healing.

Thank you for allowing me to spend time at your home. The path that lead me here has been a long time in the making. I’m blessed to be fortunate enough to find myself here this time around. It has been truly amazing. I will find you all again soon in the dream world so we can continue to smile and laugh together. Thank you Don Lucho for your teachings and guidance, thank you Monica for the food and positive energy Thank you Phillip for the everyday contribution you give to make this the most comfortable environment possible. Also to my good friend Poochie, the cat who never sleeps. I love you all and will always think of this place fondly.

My two weeks spent in my Ayahuasca retreat here at Selvamadre have been magical! Right from the introduction to the family I have felt a strong sense of wellbeing and like it’s at home away from home. Don Lucho ensures that your days spent here are varied in exciting activities, which included seeing some amazing species of fish and other mammals. Monica’s food is to a high standard which you would expect in an expensive restaurant, considering the availability of ingredients from Padre Cocha it’s second to none in taste! Philippe has a very welcoming and kind apprentice to us from the start and a very helpful translator although the souther British accent is a struggle to understand at times for him and others! This experience has been so much more enjoyable than I had hoped, have made some friends for life and I hope to return again soon.

Wow, my experience here has been incredible I think this has been one of the best week of my life. Taking Medicine here has been a very eye opening experience and I think I have found out a lot about myself and about life in general. I definitely plan on coming back and doing Ayahuasca retreat here again after I have spent some time with meditation so I can have more mental discipline and so I can have a more spiritual experience. I have had a lot of fun here the entire week I have stayed, Don Lucho and Monica have been absolutely the best, they are one of the nicest person I have ever met, they made me feel at home here and the food was absolutely excellent, Monica is a wonder cook! I will forever remember and cherish my experience here and I will miss everyone. I have met here very much, I will recommend Selvamadre to everyone that ask me about doing Ayahuasca. This is such a beautiful place! I love you all!

We had an incredible stay with Lucho, Monica and all the other people at Selvamadre. We had our first ceremony ever Monday night with Lucho and it was an amazing experience. The energy was strong and so our personal experiences which included plenty of visions and hallucinations. Lucho helped us and the others, Philippe made the experience secure, joyful and amazing. We walk away as changed men. Besides the ceremony the stay has been nice, very good atmosphere, good food and plenty of it in tranquil and calm environment. We would definitely recommend a stay at this retreat.
