Ayahuasca Retreat Reviews — Helping You Stay Safe with 5,000+ Independent Reviews
La Luna is run by Maestro Don Guido Rimachi. The center was first opened in 1987 as the local village clinic by the Rimachi brothers, and used to serve mainly local patients. As time went on the word was spread, and patients from all over Peru and the rest of the world started to show up. Throughout the last 30 years people have traveled to Santa Maria de Ojeal for healing.
2015 Don Guido decided to expand the village clinic into a full-service Ayahuasca healing center with private bungalows for visitors traveling abroad, wishing to stay many nights and focus on personal healing.
In 2016 the new facilities were opened with a different name, but the sacred Amazonian healing techniques remain. Our shamans work the traditional way with Ayahuasca, passed down through many generations.
Today, La Luna del Amazonas is both one of the oldest and the newest centers around. The center is traditional yet modern, perfect for those who want access to ancient healing in a comfortable environment.

April 18, 2018 at 4:52 pmLa Luna del Amazonas. This means family atmosphere, wonderful surroundings and a bis spiritual experience!
When I came here I instantly felt the love and happiness which is floating through the whole area. The centre is placed in the jungle, there is just nature which gives La Luna its full and beautiful spirit. So you can hear and see monkeys, birds and insects all the time.
The owners, Enrico and Karina, are wonderful people you feel really welfare in their company.
The food is just amazing and also the private accommodations are fantastic so you can feel connected to nature all the time.
In the ceremonies I always felt very safe and the temple is a perfect place to recover and heal yourself. The shamans are doing great, professional and magical work.
I wish I could stay longer, it is really a place to stay forever.
Well, I defenitly will come back, not just once!
Thank you guys so much!
Love and light, Lena

April 18, 2018 at 3:01 pmAfter an hour by boat on the Amazon and a twenty minute walk through the jungle. I discovered the center “La Luna de Amazonas”. A magical place built away from civilization.
It was here that I had planned to spend my two retreat prayers. Quickly, I fell in love with the peace and beauty that reigns in this place.
Between monkeys, birds, frogs and insects. The jungle offered me every night a wonderful concert.
I dreaded the diet a little because of past experience. I met here an exceptional chef who with his expertise made me discover a multitude of possibilities of dishes and delicious flavors. Thank you José!
Under the benevolent attention of the two shamans and their apprentices. I participated in the maximum of four ceremonies per week that La Luna offers. It is inside the splendid temple of the center that I spent many night in connection with Ayahuasca. At the rhythm of the powerful icaros I traveled in me and in the universe. There are no words strong enough to describe the benefits and wisdom of medicine. Go ahead and experiment for yourself!
I finally stayed a month in this little paradise. I feel like I have learned as much as I did for many lives.
It is with the heart that I recommend La Luna del Amazonas. For anyone who wants to do a long caring process or just come a few days to discover Ayahuasca.
My sincere gratitude to the whole La Luna team! Thank you for your presence and support during this adventure.
Hasta Luego!
With love

April 2, 2018 at 5:06 amI had an amazing stay at La Luna in beautiful, peaceful surroundings. All of the staff are really understanding and super kind, and together with all the guests looking for healing they create an amazing atmosphere of loving acceptance. I’ve never before experienced anything like it, and it has helped me be aware of and spread the love that I am. My view of life was altered significantly for the better during my stay, and I’m forever grateful for everything. Peace and love!

February 4, 2018 at 12:58 amI blame Maestro Benigno Maestro Guido and especially GrandMasterMaestro Enrique for the immense good fortunes I have experienced since communing with La Mamita under these Gentlemen’s watchful warm embraces..I am dating a hothothot Arab Physician, got formally invited into the Masonic Brotherhood, won a gnarley weed dispensary raffle for like $500. These may seem like small paltry things but I have only been home three days.
I have not one even slightly negative thing to say…
Viva La Luna

November 30, 2017 at 2:20 pmThe rave reviews for La Luna have not been exaggerated. If you are looking for an affordable ayahuasca retreat with dedicated staff, powerful shamans, and a strong brew, look no further. Everyone here works extremely hard and is totally committed to the betterment of your health, and will go the extra mile for your healing process. Enrique is honest, upstanding, professional, and extremely kind. Don Guido and Don Marcial are trustworthy, hardworking, generous with their time, and 100% dedicated to their ceremonies and your holistic healing (and extremely kind as well ☺). While I had a decent time integrating my ceremony experiences while I was there, some of my compatriots did have difficult experiences. The staff and the shamans were very understanding, patient, and loving in hearing out these experiences, assisting participants in integrating their more taxing visions, and always willing to fully and attentively engage both in and outside of the vision sharing meetings that take place each day after a ceremony. Due to this dedication and small group sizes, La Luna fosters a powerful atmosphere of appropriately intimate mutual care, concern, and love. Everyone was always looking out for one another.
Suffice to say I arrived at La Luna filled with anxiety, constantly combating suicidal ideation, and doubled over on a cane from a terrible and mysterious pain in my leg and sciatic nerve that made any locomotion whatsoever an excruciating trial. Getting out to the jungle was difficult, but I had a ton of support from the staff the whole way, and by the time I had finished with my two-week stay, I could walk without my cane. If that wasn’t enough, I felt consistently emotionally better and better every single day after taking the ayahuasca, – revivified, grateful and glad to be alive. This feeling has not diminished upon my return to the western world. In fact I feel as though my mental and physical well-being has only continued to improve.
Trust and faith are tantamount for the success of this process and the staff and shamans of La Luna are worthy of your trust. The brew is powerful, the center is beautiful, and these people are absolutely the real deal.
