This is more than a retreat — it’s a return to something ancient.

A quiet sanctuary - your personal cabin for deep plant work and restoration.

Through time-honoured ceremonies, traditional healing, and powerful plant medicine.

Retreats limited to 4 guests, ensuring you get individual support & attention.

A place to return to yourself, the wisdom of the plants, and the beauty of the natural world.

Ready to release the old and step into the new?

Perhaps you feel stuck — held back by old patterns, unresolved wounds, or a life that no longer fits. Maybe you're seeking a new direction, a fresh beginning, or a deeper connection to yourself and the unseen forces that guide us.

Whether you're continuing a path of self-development, longing for more balance, or drawn to the great mysteries of the universe — this retreat may be the doorway you've been waiting for.

If you've already experienced our plant essences and feel called to go deeper, this is your invitation.

A journey into Amazonian Shamanism

Come walk a path through the heart of the jungle — a place where true transformation can unfold. Through ancient ceremonies, traditional treatments, and powerful remedies, we’ll guide you through a profound cleansing of body, mind, and spirit.

These retreats are designed to detoxify, rebalance, and renew — clearing stagnant energies, supporting spiritual growth, and reconnecting you with your inner wisdom.

Leave the forest feeling lighter, clearer, and more alive — your energy body glowing, your spirit deeply nourished.

Small groups. Deep care. True care

We intentionally keep our retreats small — just 4 participants per group — so that we can offer you the fullest support on your journey. You’ll be held with care, presence, and integrity every step of the way.

I spent a lovely week at Puka Yacu Retreat Center in Tamshiyacu. The place is neat and well kept with beautiful gardens. Each individual lodging space is pristine and probably among the best I've stayed at in all my time at retreat centers in Iquitos. The work and effort Mimi has invested creating a welcoming and clean environment is evident everywhere you look. The dieta meals are outstanding, well curated with fresh fish and typical dieta nutrition. I felt it to be a quiet and harmonious place to stay for plant dietas. Mimi hosts a variety of plant dietas and ayahuasca ceremonies. Her icaros are beautiful and she takes every individual process at heart. Her and her staff go out of their way to accommodate everyone's needs. Overall my experience was great and I will return to spend more quality time with myself in natue.

Mimi, thank you for an amazing week. The dieta was a fascinating addition to the ayahuasca experience. The facilities you have are very good and comfortable. I enjoyed the grounds around the camp as well. The flower bath and plant sauna were wonderful. Your staff are so friendly and welcoming. Maestro Mario was extra special. I highly recommend your retreat.

Russel Engert, Canada

This dieta was very different to the ones I did before at other places. The individual approach works great and everything I mentioned in the initial consultation was addressed. I also enjoyed this safe family space. All the little details were nicl
