My name is Percy Garcia Lozano and I am a curandero from Iquitos in Peru. I dedicated my healing center and more than 20 years of my work to people who are seeking healing: be it spiritual, energetic, psychological or physical. My center has a ceremonial maloca and 12 cabins, two of which are designed for families (4 – 5 persons).
This enables me to work with small groups – the number of clients on ceremonies rarely exceed 10 people. Usually, also facilitator and/or one of my students would make sure that participants are safe and looked after during ceremonies. Small number of clients enable me to follow and monitor the entire healing process of each person from the moment they come until the moment they leave.
Besides three ceremonies per week, the healing is supported by dietas with diferent medicine plants (read more about dieta on the dieta page) and/or other healing work the client would need. I’d like to emphasize that my work is based on high ethical standards, including personal integrity on every level. I make special effort to create peaceful and safe environment in which the healing process may be more successful.

February 22, 2019 at 8:35 amGreat place to do serious work and receive deep healing. I was fighting addiction which was killing me for over 20 years. I went to visit DAS 4 times already and after 2 years of receiving healing from Percy Garcia I’m now almost 1 year fully sober. During last visit in November 2018 I’ve also miraculously gave up on benzodiazepines (which I was taking for about 15 years and trying to give up on for about last 3 years) Now I’m in my 3rd month on benzodiazepines-free life I’m still little anxious and feel anxiety but last visit at Percy’s DAS somehow made me strong in my way through withdrawal. Can’t emphasize enough the beauty and serenity of this place. Also food prepared by Seniorita Ruth is absolutely awesome. DAS is not a touchy-feely kind of place, you going there to do a serious work. Percy Garcia prepares the most amazing medicine I’ve ever tried (and I was trying from 4 other places before), so be prepared for a deep dance with his Medicine, it will be as strong and amazing as the healing you will receive. Highly recommended. Thanks!

November 10, 2018 at 1:04 pmI have visited DAS centrum in 09/2018 for 10 days retreat for second time in a raw (2012). In previous reviews here there are many usefull informations about good organization of the center and I would just briefly comment things which I appreciate the most:
1. I see the leader of the center (Percy) as a very strong shaman who presents his
love and compassion to DAS visitors by creating very safe and secure
environment to relax, process,integrate issues which are being brought up to
light and to be healed.
2. It is up to each individual to use up this safe envirnoment to its full potential by
formulating precisely the theme of which is suppose to be processesed. It
requires personnnal honesty and focus on self healing and the whole place will
provide all necessary support to it.
3. Assisting shaman Erika from Slovenia who is creating very peacefull bridge
for all foreigners to understand not only cultural, but also spiritual differences in
realities, which we are coming from to this place.
4. Equipment and structure of center, privacy of personnal space during stay
surrounded by jungle (great support). Vegetarian food prepared with love and
creativity, very friendly staff and cats to enjoy company if desired.
The center is continuously evolving to create more comfortable envirnoment for all future visitors and this focus is more than obvious. I fully trust this place with my issues and both times I was supprised of help which I have recived there. I am definatelly coming back and I recommend this place to all who are willing to take responsibility for their issues and face them. This is the place.

November 9, 2018 at 7:01 pmI stayed at DAS twice, once in 2010 and then again in 2018. Both times I had a very good experience. Both Percy and his apprentices are fantastic and take traditional plant medicine very seriously. This is a good place to come for traditional Amazonian plant medicine. It isn’t Club Med or some kind of new age Yoga retreat, which I appreciated to no end, understanding some of the things that are being peddled around Iquitos and the way things had changed in the 8 years of my absence. Also, the food is very good, which I see as being of upmost importance while eating such a restricted diet as is required when preparing for an Ayahuasca ceremony. Highly recommended.

October 8, 2018 at 9:10 pmI visited DAS Centre in July 2018 with my boyfriend, for one week and three ceremonies as our first experience with ayahuasca. DAS is situated in the jungle, a 30-45min walk from the main road, and at night you can hear an array of animals. Upon arrival we were greeted politely by Percy, Joseway and the other guests and shown to our bungalow. The bungalow was very comfortable modest accommodation with mosquito nets around each bed. There was no electricity but candles were provided. The toilet was the flush-with-a-bucket-of-water kind and there was no showers, however you can swim in the river, where the flower baths take place, at anytime. The food at DAS was great, a good variety and very tasty.
Percy conducted every part of the ceremonies with the upmost respect for the participants and the medicine. He facilitated group and individual discussions before and after ceremonies. He has built a beautiful maloka over the river to assist with the flow of energies and spirit in the ceremonial space. The ceremonies lasted around 5 hours of which Percy, with Joseway’s assistance, sang beautiful icaros. At the end of every ceremony we were invited to stay in the maloka as long as we liked or return to our bungalow as we desired. During my second ceremony, once the ceremony had officially finished and Percy had left the maloka, I had an extremely intense outpouring of emotion. I was crying and screaming like I’d never had before. Percy came back into the maloka to make sure I was okay, and with the help of Joseway and a few other participants, helped ground me while I worked through some deep emotional trauma that I’d been holding on to – something that I’ll forever be grateful for. Our last ceremony was held during the daytime, I was initially unsure about this, but it turned out to be the most beautiful ceremony and I would highly recommend asking if this can be facilitated during your stay.
I have very limited experience with ayahuasca and have only visited DAS but from my experience I highly recommend going to this centre. The accommodation is basic but all the more better for you to disconnect with the outside world and focus upon introspection. A few reviews on Aya Advisor did give myself and my boyfriend some doubts about Percy as a Sharman, I feel they are completely unfounded and I would return to continue working Percy.
I found a lot of personal and spiritual growth at DAS and left knowing my work wasn’t finished – but it has started me on a path that will change my life for the better. And I wish whoever reads this, all the best on their journey towards enlightenment.

August 28, 2018 at 6:21 pmHaving just arrived home from my 5 week adventure in Peru I am now able to fully appreciate the deep deep healing that was undertaken in my 10 days working with Percy at center DAS.
As I walk the streets of my neighborhood and city, where formerly there was judgement towards people, there is now none.
I feel connected to each and every individual I interact with, with so much compassion and love filling my heart.
The fear, doubt and confusion that was instilled upon me as a child and youth has been lifted off, leaving me feeling strong, directed and protected.
I cannot remember a time when I felt so free, so pure, so light.
For 10 days, under the magical facilitation offered by Rak Razam, Percy devoted his undivided attention on each and every individual that was staying at the retreat.
Whether it be in ceremony, holding space, calling in the spirits to heal us.
Cleansing flower baths held each day (which may be a special bonus of our specific 10 day program).
Lessons held in the dining hall teaching us about the science of the plant medicines he works with (including ayahuasca preparation, perfume demonstration/preparation, medicinal plants of the jungle).
Or just offering his presence wherever you may find him, a shining beacon of light, calming, purifying, soothing the delicate soul.
It was clear to see that the center was his life work. I never could have expected such a divinely conscious and natural setting. One part hospital, one part garden of eden, the facilities consisted of a completely off-grid mostly self-sustainable system.
Whilst there was no power, gas or the common western privileges, we were blessed by the light of the moon, the flow of the beautiful jungle stream, and the crackle of the cooking fire.
This allowed the attunement with the spirits to begin, aided by the gastronomically inclined dieta meals we were offered (the quality of which was startling to say the least, organic, nourishing, always seemed to be planned specifically for the state of the guests ie post ceremony soup with ginger for our delicate bellies) and the absolute comfort of a family home offered by the beautiful staff.
As the days progressed, the connection with the spirits increased, and as my loud and chatty mind eased it’s barrage of endless thoughts and began to quiet, the plants in the jungle surrounding us began to be heard.
Through dreams I would be given guidance, and during waking hours and especially post ceremony, the higher frequency communication of the plants could be heard clearly.
In ceremony, Percy became a trusted older brother. Calm and assured he would translate the words of the mother through his icaros, the power of which was able to be appreciated on the experiential level.
If ever there was a time of darkness being experienced by anyone in the ceremony, and I would find myself slipping off into thought or negativity, Percy’s vibrational presence acted as an anchor, pulling me back into the light.
I feel so so blessed and grateful to have been lucky enough to spend time at center DAS, the first visit of many. I leave with the experiential knowledge that Percy is not only a master healer, medicine man, curandero, but also a true friend and brother.
