    I recently spent 5 days at Dreamglade and I enjoyed every minute. The staff is great and very caring and personable. The owner was happy to pick us up from our hostel and drive us to Dreamglade which is located in a beautiful and fairly remote location outside of Iquitos.
    An ayahuasca diet was included with our stay. It was three meals a day (sans dinner on ceremony nights) of plain but very fresh and tasty food ? lots of fresh vegetables.
    We participated in three ayahuasca ceremonies, including one on our very first night there. The ceremonies are beautiful and I felt very safe and cared for. The architechture of the moloka is awesome, it was a pleasure to experience the ceremonies in such a great space. Despite the apparent lunacy of travelling to the Amazon Jungle to drink an awful tasting viscous concoction that induced vomiting and wild ?out of body? visions and experiences, I felt absolutely safe and was never afraid even for a second.
    After staying in hostels for a week and a half I really enjoyed the perfectly clean bathroom facilities.
    I have recommended Dreamglade to many of my friends. For the reasonable price, high quality, and exceptional experience ? it can?t be beat.

    I’ve drunk Ayahuasca quite a number of times, with quite a number of shamans, in quite a number of locations and this has got to be my favourite.

    First off, the location is stunningly beautiful, away from everything but really only a short distance from Iquitos in Stacy’s four wheel drive. The maloka (ceremony house) and tambos (cabins) are set round a natural lake that you can swim in, complete with water lilies. For me, being next to the body of water added even more to the calm and safe feeling of the centre. The deck also provides a great space to soak up some jungle sunshine! Thankfully, there are few pesky bugs or mosquitos but plenty of wildlife such as butterflies, dragon flies, frogs, birds and even a few toucans that do a normally rarely seen fly-by.

    The staff are fabulous. Isabel is such an experienced and skilled shaman. I felt that working with a woman shaman added a very special level of wisdom, not only for other females as myself, but also for the guys that were there. And she oozes experience that has been built by being part of generations of curanderos. Stacy is great. He’s natural and refreshingly unpretentious in what can be a minefield of ‘woo woo’ Ayahuasca centres.

    I went for one ceremony and was so impressed I straight after booked myself in for a ‘dieta’. Isabel is incredibly attentive and regularly checked how it was going. Throughout the week I felt so cared for by Isabel, Stacy and Drew and the rest of the staff. It made it very easy to relax and take full advantage of the dieta process.
    The centre is also incredibly comfortable and so clean, with modern tiled toilets in the main area, and the tambos and other areas keep a great authentic look and feel at the same time as being clean and safe. The attention to quality and detail is lovely. And the food is fresh, good and plentyful.

    I really liked the Ayahuasca ceremonies, again always with a lot of care and attention with quality Ayahuasca. There were a number of people who were drinking for the first time and a lot of time and attention was taken to explain it and provide help. I see it as a very good place for anyone wanting to experience Ayahuasca for the first time. The maloka is beautiful and spacious, with polished local wood floor. I had a tambo, but on ceremony nights I chose to stay with the group and sleep in this lovely maloka after each ceremony.

    Everything about the place helped everyone to relax and really make the most of the experience. The location, buildings, staff, food and of course to remember the resident pets – the very entertaining and affectionate cats and dogs.

    I feel very lucky to have found this delightfully exquisite and special place – I hope you find it as well. I know I’ll be returning.

    Thank you everyone at Dreamglade.

    One of the most beautiful centers I’ve been to, and I’ve seen a few. Stacy is a great host and has put a lot of love in his place, the ceremonial maloka is astonishing. He works with a very qualified shipibo shamana that has been working with the medicine for many years. If you’re looking for a safe place with good medicine, I can strongly recommend this center.

    I highly recommend ‘Dreamglade’ for those wishing to experience Ayahuasca. A beautiful Shamanic retreat in the jungle, half an hours drive outside the city of Iquitos in Peru. Owned and built by Stacy, a Londoner who has lived in Peru for many years, he realised his dream of creating a spiritual retreat, it’s built on a lake and is the perfect setting to take Ayahuasca. The Shaman is a wonderful woman ‘Isabel’ a native Peruvian who started studying Shamanism when she was 5 years old, taught by her Grandfather, she’s now 45 and under her guidance I ‘drank’ for the first time. To say this was an amazing experience is to understate it! Her singing and chanting was one of the most beautiful sounds I’ve ever heard as she guided me through, with Stacy translating where necessary, the love and care I felt can’t be described, I can only say again that it was one of the most amazing experiences of my life, so much so that I booked another one straight after! If you want the real thing in a stunning setting visit Dreamglade!
