Yagé / Ayahuasca
Knowledge handed down from generation to generation
In the Andean-Amazon rainforest of southern Colombia, on the border with Ecuador and Peru, in the department of Putumayo — across its upper, middle and lower regions — there is a great cultural wealth made up of Indigenous communities who, within its vast vegetation, hold deep ancestral and cultural knowledge handed down from generation to generation, so that this great spiritual and cultural wealth is not forgotten with the passing of time.

A night of connection
A bonfire to close the retreat
Our friend Waskar, with his companions, joins us for a bonfire night at our hostel to close a beautiful retreat.
In the Amazon foothills of Mocoa – Putumayo, at night one feels a spiritual connection descended from ancestral traditions that can still be lived today. Yagé ceremonies led by taitas of lineage are a connection people seek to support or heal themselves in their personal processes.
The lunar cycle is a connection between plants, animals, water and earth that influences our daily lives, and is deeply important in our spiritual processes.

What people say
TestimonialsGreat advice for anyone wanting to meet the ancestral culture around Mocoa in a warm and simple way.
An incredible family who welcomes us into a place that is much more than a house — it truly feels like home.
The yagé ceremony was a real before-and-after for me. They guide you with respect and warmth, and the setting deep in the jungle helps you let go. I left at peace.
Frequently asked questions
What is a yagé (ayahuasca) ceremony?
Yagé, also known as ayahuasca, is an ancestral Amazonian medicine prepared and guided by taitas (elder healers) of Putumayo. The ceremony is a ritual space for introspection and healing, held at night, in a group and fully accompanied, in a natural setting near Mocoa.
Who guides the ceremonies?
The ceremonies are led by taitas of Putumayo lineage, with knowledge passed down from generation to generation. Their guidance —songs, care and experience— is the heart of the ceremony.
Is it safe to take part in a yagé ceremony?
You are accompanied at all times by the taita and their team, in a safe setting. Before the ceremony we talk about your health and your expectations: some medical conditions or medications may be incompatible, so it is important to let us know in advance.
