Treehouse Lodging. Female led ceremonies. Small group retreats with personal attention. Flexible Pricing. 1500 Acres of Virgin Amazon Rainforest. Volunteering.
________________________________________
We work with the principle of ‘Where Attention goes, Energy flows’ through a deeply intentional work in ceremony we introduce our guests to new tools of self-healing and transformation.
Keeping our retreat groups exceptionally small ( 6 people), allows us to provide personal attention to each of our guests and to keep the atmosphere of a small family house in the deep forest.
We hold a gentle space for processing traumas and re-programming of psychic patterns that no longer serve. At Canto Luz we also provide space for shamanic plant dietas for the ones who are ready to embrace serious inner work and encounter plant allies.
Your commitment and work during your retreat at Canto Luz will be a step in a life long process of working with your Higher Self.
Our goals are for long lasting changes in our guests? lives and their accomplishments become the source of pride for Canto Luz.

January 28, 2014 at 12:00 amThe week that I spent here was one of the most eye opening experiences of my life. I women who run this place not only care deeply about the healing and safety of their guests, but welcome you warmly and completey into their home and share their love and connection to the forest. If you want a beautiful and meaning experience that is more then just a ceremony, I whole heartedly reccomend this place. The women who run it are doing something amazing and can tell you and show you about all of the plants in the area, the enviroment devastation in the genral area that they are protecting from on their section of rainforest. The bed rooms are beautifully built in the trees and the all veggy food provided for you is amazing and flavorful, some of the best I had in South America. They provide nature walks as well as yoga led by the lovely Sara. They have only a small amount of people at the retreat at any time, so I experienced a closeless, trust, and connection not only with the 3 owners, but with all the other guests, making the experience truely special.
That being said the ceremonies are held in a beautiful building in a comfertable, safe, warm, and motherly setting. All three powerful women guild you through the experience with heavenly and incredible singing. It was intensely beautiful and positive and guilded me so completely through the most difficult parts of my ceremony. Incredible singing of the powerful and talented Mariya here: http://vimeo.com/85009660
Talking about what you got from your journey the morning in this safe small setting allowed me to solidify what I have expereinced and what learning had come from it.
Beautiful experience that I loved enough to return to Peru for this place alone.

January 24, 2014 at 12:00 amI had waited a few years to try ayahuasca after I first heard about it in the states. My beloved and I were travelling around Peru and synchronistically heard of Canto Luz and, after some deliberation, decided to head to Puerto Maldonado for a little stay. First let me say, the jungle is a powerful and terrifying place! But from the beginning I felt reassured and held by the safe space created at Canto Luz. The personalities holding down the fort here are very complimentary and make a great team. Thanks Juan, Sara y Mariya!
I had three ceremonies there and definitely some life changing stuff passed through my person. I LOVED LOVED LOVED the fact that female curanderas are holding down the space and the SONGS holy fuck the songs… were some of the most beautiful things ever witnesses. Surely it is a reminder also that it is a blessing and healing medicine to listen to women sing beautiful healing songs…. The retreat center is professional without being too structured. The food was amazing. As I said, supportive personalities holding space. And treehouses, YES!
A real blessed time spent at Canto Luz. My heart already longs to go back.
Also, very economical.. let?s keep this place a secret, ok 😉

January 24, 2014 at 12:00 amThe feeling created there by both the space holders and surrounding jungle was immensely comforting. arriving felt like coming home. I felt welcomed and held.
The food was the best I’ve had in Peru, simple well combined and made with love (I could taste it). The only criique would be that there could be more bananas and herbal teas.
The tree houses were a delight, nearly withing the canopy, sturdy construction and comfy beds. Crucial was the individual nets. To be held in such a space was a real asset in such a setting where i felt vulnerable.
The ceremonies were held in the beautiful maloka where we also practiced yoga (real gift). The octagon felt safe and secure, a safe space to take the medicine.
The ceremonies were beautiful… The altar we were offered to add too, the mats and purge buckets provided, the palo santo smudge all added to the ambiance. The explanation before and after was clear, although I’m glad to have done my research prior to arriving (basics were given and I feel it’s the participants responsibility to seek the details). We were given space to share intentions prior to befgining and centered as a whole before starting.
The iccaros were from heaven, soft and supportive. The additions of a few simple instruments added a nice touch too. I felt very safe and VERY well taken care of. Truly a loving and supportive environment to heal and process with ayuhuasca.
Also got to purge with tobacco, a complement to the ayuhuasca medicine.
All n all a deeply intentional and loving space that I would HiGHLY recommend. My first aya experience, and I’m glad I waited the time I did because this was well worth the wait. Truly love centered…
