October 7, 2018 at 7:33 amI came here by chance, I was looking for a place to do ayahuasca, I had done it a few times before but just single ceremonies, this time I needed to go deeper. I ran into Caya Shobo through this website and booked a 5-day stay.
As soon as I got there everything felt right, the people, the place, it felt safe to let go and start the healing process. It was a short stay, it felt like I needed to continue my process so I had to go back. Now I´ve been there for the second time, now for a 10 day stay and I plan to continue going back. Thanks Caya Shobo.

What an experience.
God bless you guys .
That’s my first time with the medicine and I didn’t know what to expect.
I wasn’t sure where and how things will look like.
All I knew before that I want safe environment and auténtico Shamans (Shipobo) with the right intentions.
I really wished to experience some of the authentic experience with a western touch of comfortable place to eat and sleep.
So it was perfect match .
The combination was absolutely right.
It’s was comfort as I wish with great food for the diata and the decision of how stick you wanna go with the diata .
And comfortable room to sleep.
And el Shaman was a real doctor.
Like he already know what is your problem before you can tell.
Thank you for that Caya .
Definitely see you again .
Good like in your journey.

August 31, 2018 at 10:27 pmJ’ai effectué une retraite de 3 semaines au cours du mois d’aout 2018. Ayant réalisé plusieurs séminaires dans différents centres au Pérou (4 au total), c’est un des meilleurs centres dans lequel j’ai pu effectuer des retraites chamaniques. Le nombre élevé de cérémonies par semaine (5) permet de travailler profondément et intensément. L’équipe de faciliteurs est extrêmement présente et bienveillante et il y a un réel accompagnement. Les maestros sont aussi excellents. La qualité de l’ayahuasca est aussi relativement forte et puissante, à consommer avec modération 🙂 Il y a aussi des traducteurs dans toutes les langues (pour les français aussi !).
Autre détail important : on mange relativement bien (fruits, pancakes, poisson/poulet) tout en respectant la diète ! ça peut paraître un détail mais au bout de plusieurs semaines à manger relativement mal dans certains centres, ça compte aussi.
Bref il y a beaucoup de centres au Pérou, mais j’ai vraiment d’excellents souvenirs de cette retraite malgré les moments difficiles qui peuvent résulter du travail avec l’Ayahuasca.
Un très grand merci à toute l’équipe d’accompagnants et félicitations pour la qualité des retraites.

I did a retreat of 3 weeks during the month of august 2018. Having realized several seminars in different centers in Peru (4 in total), it is one of the best centers in which I could make shamanic retreats . The high number of ceremonies per week (5) allows you to work deeply and intensely. The team of facilitators is extremely present and caring and there is a real accompaniment. The maestros are also excellent. The quality of ayahuasca is also relatively strong and powerful, consume with moderation 🙂 There are also translators in all languages (for French too!).
Another important detail: we eat relatively well (fruits, pancakes, fish / chicken) while respecting the diet! it may seem a detail but after several weeks to eat relatively poorly in some centers, it also counts.
In short there are many centers in Peru, but I really have great memories of this retreat despite the difficult times that can result from working with Ayahuasca.
A very big thank you to all the team of accompanying persons and congratulations for the quality of the retreats.

August 4, 2018 at 9:15 amI posted my initial review of Caya Shobo shortly after my retreat ended in June 2018.
In it, I mentioned that after participating in countless ceremonies around Iquitos, this was the first ayahuasca center which I considered visiting again.
I decided to update my original review to include some additional observations.
As time goes by, I have even more appreciation for this place. It doesn’t have a commercial feel like other centers. Also, the ayahuasca brew itself is one of the best. I drank a variety of ayahuasca teas in the past, such as thunder or black and yet, the one at Caya Shobo is so unique, it lasted longer and created new sensations which I never felt before.
Shamans at Caya Shobo are another reason why this place is so special.
When I was having a difficult time during the ceremony and needed help, their icaros did wonders on my body. I could feel their power, the songs were guiding my body and mind in a way I never felt before.
Also, I believe that the plant diet was another important factor which enhanced my experience. The appropriate plant is selected for you by a shaman and even though I wanted to diet on a different plant than the one recommended by the shaman, I came to understand why the other one was prescribed to me.
My recommendation for potential guests at Caya Shobo is to come for at least two weeks in order to fully benefit from what this place has to offer. Also, participants attending short-term retreats will not be able to eat some of the healing plants because they require a longer diet.
