Review of Inin Nete by I attended a retreat at Inin Nete in the summer of 2025. This was the 4th ayahuasca retreat I attended, and my first time at a Shipibo-owned one.

March 28, 2022 at 10:49 amIn a cloud forest on beautifully worked grounds where birds, flowers and butterflies abound, holds the Hayulima sanctuary. My time there was magical. The accommodations, delicious meals, and staff were just perfect.
Most of all though, the Hayulima family shared their medicines, wisdom and musicianship during the ceremonies in such a giving and safe fashion. The spiritual growth, healing and familial connection I experienced at Hayulima have transformed my life. Thank you!

March 27, 2022 at 7:07 pmI am so lucky and grateful to have sat with ayahuasca for the first time at Hayulima… These pictures were a beautiful summary of my experience. For the first time in a long time, I was able to open my arms and embrace all that is here. All I needed was provided and more! Everything; the food, location, accommodation, ceremonies, and staff was absolutely spectacular and came from a sacred place of love. I trust the Hayulima family with my life. I would recommend this place to my own Grandmother!

I was at Hayulima for 3 retreats as a volunteer between december 2021 and february 2022. The Hayulima family is very welcoming, loving and experienced with plant medecine. The food was amazing, mostly plant-based. The ceremonies were so beautiful and profound. The land is just so generous with all the plants, flowers, birds, butterflies. A perfect place to be held by nature for deep healing with plant medecine.
I’m so grateful I had the chance to deepen my relationship with Ayahuasca, the fire and the human family at Hayulima!
I strongly recommend this place! I’ll be back, for sure!
Muchas gracias Hayulima!
