Our Program
At Arkana, we create the space for you to get in touch with your truth, opening your path for deeper meaning and greater fulfillment in your life. We work with ancestral medicines such as Ayahuasca, San Pedro, Bufo Alvarius, Rapé , using the traditional practices of the indigenous cultures of the Peruvian Amazon. We currently operate two centers in Peru, one in the Peruvian Amazon and a second one in the Sacred Valley (close to Machu Picchu), and one in Mexico, the choice is yours.

With great respect for the plants and the knowledge and healing that comes with them, our lineage of Shipibo shamans set the stage for truly deep and profound healing. Awaken your inner power through their sacred and powerful icaros (healing songs), and discover your connection to all things by exploring some of the 2.2 million hectare Pacaya Samiria National Reserve which is our backyard. Nourish your body and soul with fresh, clean, delicious meals that promote your Ayahuasca experience, and integrate healthy habits into your routine with our yoga classes and extensive selection of gym equipment for all levels. We believe the health of physical body sets the foundation for the health of the energetic body – Often ignored in this type of spiritual work, we find this to be an important part of the healing process, so you can begin implementing the healthy habits that will carry this work with you into your life back home. Finally, relax your mind and spirit with sound baths, meditations, breathwave sessions, and OM circles, or simply enjoy the tranquil views of both sunrise and sunset from our front porch on the banks of the Ucayali River, surrounded by lush biodiversity and the mesmerizing sounds of the jungle.

Arkana’s exceptional team of highly-trained Shipibo Master Shamans represent an unbroken lineage of plant medicine work. With a combined history of over 70 years of experience working closely with Ayahuasca and other master plant teachers of the jungle, our compassionate healers lovingly share their teachings, healing songs (icaros), capabilities, and knowledge with integrity and honor. We strive to maintain the traditional practices passed down through thousands of years of indigenous Amazonian culture, in order to continue to promote the true purpose and nature of plant medicine work.

Experiencing the medicines with us is a transformative personal journey, and so much more. We also work closely with our local community, the Amazonian village of Libertad, to ensure that our Center can benefit and give back to the people who have so generously let us into their homes and hearts. We create employment opportunities, teach free English classes, provide a space for the ladies to sell their handmade crafts, and assist in construction projects, among other things. Our latest endeavor is outfitting the entire village with free solar panels, so every house can have light and electricity. When you join us, you are helping the rainforest and the Amazon communities that live here.

Guests that come to our Center often say they feel like “part of the family” with us – that’s no coincidence, as we are one big family at Arkana! The people that are with you throughout your experience can simply facilitate your own healing journey or become an integral part of it. Our experienced, loving, and professional team of caregivers welcomes you to join our tribe, where we strive to make you feel at home and at ease, supported and cared for with all the love and compassion that is at the core of the plant medicines and people we work with.

Ayahuasca is a powerful medicine that offers us the opportunity to understand our true nature, by shining a light onto our darkness, and holding a mirror up to our fears, negative thought patterns, and self-limiting beliefs. We provide the environment and expertise of a team of highly skilled, warm, compassionate Shamans and facilitators to guide you through the process of awakening, of choosing differently, healing, and expanding. It is a slow but steady path towards freedom – from fear, from illusion, from self-constructed boundaries – resulting in a lighter, brighter, more authentic self, and the full experience of love. It is our honor to help you on this most fulfilling of all journeys: the journey back home.

We look forward to having you with us!

Lots of Love,
The Team

Having recently returned from Pulse Tour’s 7 Day Ayahuasca Adventure retreat, and having found Pulse through positive reviews like the many you will read here, I hope this brief account of my own experience helps make a decision on where to go. This was my second Ayahuasca retreat, and after having visited Pulse, I honestly cannot imagine how it could get any better than this. From the very beginning, Pulse’s Operations Manager, Melissa, presented a welcoming and professional face of Pulse that would characterize the rest of my experience. Upon arriving, I received the warmest welcome to the Pulse family and felt at home from day one. The entire Pulse team was so warm and loving, expressed genuine concern for each individual, looked you in the eyes when listening to you, and were overall extremely approachable, accessible, and yes, hug-able! Before the day ends you quickly realize how much thought and love has gone in creating the best experience for their visitors, from fresh flowers in your bedroom to an incredible daily agenda. The nunu, kambo, floral baths, and ayahuasca ceremonies were lovingly planed, and beautifully carried out by a very experienced and professional team of shaman and facilitators whose first priority is your safety and comfort. Although you are part of a group (who you WILL become extremely close to and make friends for LIFE), the Pulse team is very much focused on your individual needs and reasons for coming to the center. As they say, you may not get exactly what you want, but you will get exactly what you NEED, and this is so true from my recent visit. While difficult and hard work at times, my ceremonies revealed a life-changing lesson on the power of fear and the tools I can use day by day, minute by minute, to live a courageous life aligned with my purpose – love and understanding. I watched as every single person in my group (18 total) underwent similar transformations – it was so incredible that I cannot describe it anything short of miraculous. A big thank you to Tamara, Tatiana, Val, Dolan, Craig, Hilberto, Wiler, and Angelita for their love, support, and giving me the space I needed to work on myself. In deciding where to go to experience the healing power of Mother Ayahuasca, trust yourself. But also know that Pulse comes with my highest recommendation. I cannot wait to return and continue the work one day soon myself.

I cannot speak highly enough of this experience. The team at Pulse Tours care deeply about every single person that participates in the Ayahuasca retreat. Their kindness, patience, openness, and dedication to helping you get the greatest tools for happiness you will ever receive guarantee an unforgettably sublime experience.

The local Shamans are true to the tradition and understand exactly what needs to be addressed physically, spiritually, emotionally and mentally.

The process and experience has been carefully designed to culminate in an experience that leaves you full of light and love and happiness and completely unburdened of your troubles and worries.

The facilitators are incredibly professional and are always on hand, any time of the day and night to help their guests work through the process. Their knowledge of the medicines, Ayahuasca, traditions, and complementary ceremonies and processes give you the utmost confidence and peace of mind that you are in safe hands.

Thank you thank you thank you Pulse Tours for changing my life. I was happy before and happy with my life. Now I’m so excited about the even greater life I have ahead of me.

First off, I can’t say enough good things about my experience with Pulse Tours. The itinerary is well designed, and the staff is very professional. They are very accommodating and are more than willing to assist individual needs and preferences. The ceremonies are powerful, which makes Pulse Tours the ideal location for a transformative experience. Overall, I highly recommend Pulse Tours to anybody seeking an incredible journey.

I’ve traveled to over 15 countries… my week at the ayahuasca adventure was the most unbelievable, profound experience of my entire life. All of the staff are full of love and light who love connecting with all of their guests. I was very impressed with the operations from the time I arrived to the time I left – felt safe the entire time as well. Ayahuasca is the most incredible, intelligent medicine I have ever come into contact with, the ability it has to cure you on a physical, mental, emotion, and spiritual is something you cannot fathom until you experience it. I cannot imagine going to a different retreat, I’ll hopefully be returning in March.
