Private Ayahuasca & San Pedro Retreat in the heart of San Pedro de Vilcabamba, in Loja, Ecuador. Casa Del Sol works with small groups to optimize the quality of your experience, and share the space as a family. Blessed with a beautiful location within the Valley of Longevity, we integrate ourselves with its powerful medicine; our retreats include walking through its mountains, cleansing ourselves in the waterfalls and in the river in front of our home. We make offerings, meditate, practice yoga, hold sweat lodges and plant medicine ceremonies to encourage this integration.

    Santiago and Ximena come from the heart in their healing. They are powerful in their intention to be used for your personal journey. They will relate through the circle what needs to be heard, and it is up to you and to me to take the medicine for our own personal—and collective—endeavor. There are very few people in the world I know I can trust with anything I bring to the table (savory and unsavory, sweet and bitter, ignorant and wise…). These two people are top on the list. They welcome you like family, and—like family—they’ll let you know when it’s time to go. 😉 They’ll trust and support you as much as you trust and support them. They are a safe place to land, to learn, and to relearn how it is to be in healthy relation to those (human and non-human) around you. Take care of them when you go. They’ve taken such great care of me. Peace brother. Peace sisters. Love to you. Thanks from my soul.

    Of all the Shaman’s I’ve met and the places I’ve been, Casa Del Sol is the real deal! Santiago and his wife Ximena are true Shamans, they know there stuff, and there magick is real. If your looking for genuine, loving and caring people, you’ve come to the right place

    I have been down to Ecuodar four times in recent years and I have been really lucky to get the chance to spend time With Santiago and Ximena. Over the years they have welcomed me into their home, given me a place to stay, food to eat and shared many teaching with me. It has been incredible to see the birth of Casa Del Sol and I would recommend it to any one seeking healing through the traditional plant medicines of South America. Surrounded by beautiful mountains, rivers and waterfalls it is pretty hard not to fall in love with this place and these people.

    Visions, Spirits, Healing, Ancestors, Magic, Beauty, Love, Sacredness, Divinity, Power, Brotherhood, Care, Kindness, Wisdom, Music, Jaguar, Snake liquor, all of these and much more are only a glimpse of what I experienced In Santiago’s San Pedro ceremony in Ecuador.

    It was my first time in Ecuador and I was fortunate to have my first San Pedro ceremony with such a loving decent caring Shaman, who knows what he is doing and knows how to hold a healing space.

    Santiago and San Pedro are one in the ceremony, He is the eyes, ears, hands and heart of the medicine and The Jaguar spirit is strongly present to help and support.

    I hope one day to come back and go deeper into the medicine with you dear Santiago.

    All blessings to you and your family.

    When I decide to travel back to South America, there is no question as to where I will go. I felt in such competent, caring, experienced and knowledgeable hands – something of extreme importance to me in such a vulnerable state. I was in awe of the wisdom that has been passed down preciously throughout time and am beyond blessed to witness a gifted, authentic shaman do what he was born to do.
