Welcome to Harmonica Retreat (formerly Ayahuasca Retreat Guacamayo), perched upon the breathtaking overlooks of Medellin. With a solid five-star rating, our center has been here to facilitate transformation and self-discovery for the past three years. Here, we are not just a retreat; we are a container for your healing journey.
At the heart of our approach is the sacred ayahuasca ceremony, a profound experience that mirrors the complexities of life. It demands trust—in the shaman, the ayahuasca, yourself, and the entire process. Just like life’s lessons in rhythm, harmony, and growth, ayahuasca offers deep insights into love, healing, and personal evolution.
Our founder was motivated by the transformative impact ayahuasca had on his own life and opened this retreat to share these profound changes with others. While ayahuasca is a powerful catalyst, we believe true transformation comes from your everyday choices, actions, and the environment you cultivate. Ayahuasca illuminates paths, reveals blind spots, and supports you in tackling emotional challenges, guiding you toward profound personal evolution.
We are committed to safety and support, offering a medically supervised environment where individuals explore significant changes. Our process prepares you thoroughly for the ayahuasca ceremonies with sharing circles, holotropic breathwork to transition from head to body to heart, and ice baths to connect with your body’s intelligence and push beyond comfort zones. This preparation builds trust in yourself, the group, the facilitators, and the space.
After the retreat, our commitment continues. We foster an online community with monthly sessions helping you maintain the connections and changes ignited here.

July 31, 2026 at 7:01 amI loved my time at Harmonica. The ceremonies were incredible, with such caring and attentive staff. It’s really apparent how genuine they are in supporting each person’s journey during the ceremonies and the whole retreat. The musicians played the most beautiful music during the ceremonies, far beyond what I could have imagined. The location is absolutely beautiful with two waterfalls on the property, paths to explore the nature, and an amazing view of the surrounding mountains and valley. You can hear the sound of the waterfalls and see the fireflies at night. Such a peaceful, magical place. The room and bed was very comfortable, and the food is so healthy and tasty, and with such variety as well. The schedule for the retreat was so well organized and on time, with activities such as a cold plunge in the waterfall pool and a holotropic breathing session that added to the experience. There was also some down time for rest or socializing. There’s so much love and peace and magic at this retreat, and support for one’s journey. Many thanks to the staff for an incredible experience.

July 24, 2026 at 8:56 amI felt personally healed by the shamans, the plant, the music, and the sanctuary.
They have a beautiful spring that comes from the mountain. I visited it frequently.
This is a visit you will cherish.

March 2, 2026 at 2:26 pmAfter searching many retreats and comparing the reviews, price, and facilities, I decided to go to Harmonica to have an authentic aya ceremony in 2026.3. And I’m so grateful to myself for choosing the retreat; I feel a lot of support and safety, and experience the real magic there!

November 10, 2025 at 8:43 pmCompletely transformational experience with harmonica, I truly can’t recommend them enough. Starting with their communication from before you even book you can tell that they care both about the process of the medicine but also the individuals coming to the retreat, they make sure you fully understand what it’s all about before signing up. The whole team are such beautiful souls who work with such love and care. The place is lovely, up in the hills overlooking Medellin. Being so close to Medellin makes it’s easily accessible as well. The retreat is lead by the team on site which is really international (the core team are German, French and Colombian but they have volunteers supporting from all over the world ) but all ceremonies are held by a Colombian shaman with such respect for the medicine and the process, he and the team were there for each person however they needed them. The ceremonies themselves were so special, comfortable, safe, beautiful music, smells, you really feel able to fully release into the process and experience what the medicine has for you. All the other activities perfectly harmonise the whole experience with a good amount of activity to resting time – ice baths, sharing circles, breathwork, stretching and meditation as well as really delicious food taking care of everyone’s unique dietary requirements. I could go on but will leave it here, if you book with harmonica you will not be disappointed. If I was to do another Aya retreat it would be with them, thank you Harmonica for this rebirth

September 18, 2025 at 4:27 amHi everyone,
I did a ceremony in July an I keep power of what’s happened there. Much better than 10 psychology sessions!
Come with an intention and let the plant doing the job; it will bring you probably the most important message to rise yourself..
I’m feeling so much better; I can finally be the really ME (but the way keep going of course…)
I would like to do it again and I definitely come back in Ayahuasca Retreat Guacamayo and nowhere else; because i felt reassured, we had a lot’s of explications about the plant and cerremony. The place is amazing. The food too. And Oliver, Luna and Christian are lovely.
Definitely recommanded 100% !
Again, thank you!
