I could say so much but actually everything‘s already said in all the beautiful reviews before and I can just confirm 100% what all the people are saying about Lighthouse. I‘ve never been to such a peaceful place and have never experiencing so much love in my life before. What the whole Lighthouse family is creating and offering there is above and beyond you could ever imagine. They‘re giving all of their heart to the place and their work and you’ll feel like part of this family right from the start. If you‘re considering doing Ayahuasca in Peru please do yourself a favour and choose Lighthouse. I can’t imagine a better place. I just finished my 3 week retreat with them and I‘m already pretty sad to left the jungle behind. I‘ll be back for sure and can’t wait to meet the guys again. It literally feels like a soul family far away from home. I‘m in deepest gratitude for my experience there. Also for me it was life changing and I‘m happy to found a place where I can always return to to remember how beautiful life is ♥️ gracias gracias gracias from the bottom of my heart!

This Lodestar, this Pharos namesake, this Beaming Amazonian Guidepost of spiritual edification and revelations aligning one to zero point... "Lighthouse!"; definitely lived up to it's name. The lights are on and somebody's home... you're home...your home away from home during the duration of your stay. You're going to be taken care of and be in good hands. Before even arriving Ivan was on the job getting me ready and prepared for the experience, answering any and all questions, making himself available through texts, emails, and video calls. Thank you Ivan! The Lighthouse Team did excellent work facilitating transfer from the airport to the retreat destination. Upon arrival, like I said, it feels like home. Structurally built to safely cradle all guests, while still remaining open enough to feel immersed within the Amazon wilderness. I truly miss this place: the environment, the atmosphere, the vibe, the energy, the delicious all natural, healthy, balanced meals, fresh squeezed juices, friendly cats and dogs who also call this place home, and of course the vital spark that ties it all together, the wonderful staff of people. Jino, Christian, Maestro Antenor, Lady Di, Joy, Yoko, Lenin--words can't begin the describe my depth of gratitude and appreciation towards these outstanding humans. The world truly needs more humans like these! The Lighthouse staff has figured out a formula that works by catering to a humble assembly of humans at a time, making each individual feel recognized, acknowledged, accepted, and attended to; truly impressive! Fresh fruits and teas are always available to assemble how you'd like and reading material is also available and I do recommend not to shy away from it...the information is truly enriching! The excursions are fantastic and memorable, keeping my mind in the right place of being connected to nature and Mama Aya. As for the pièce de résistance, the ceremonies...Mama Aya has something in store for each of us and each individual's encounter is different and unique. Words do no justice here...it's just something you have to experience...and trust! you will not regret it. During the ceremonies Maestro Antenor made me feel at ease and comfortable...it's like you know you're in more than capable hands. The staff are also present during ceremonies and available for much needed support, and if you're lucky, may also synchronize with the Maestro's icaros and the occasional guitar may come into play. The Maestro's icaros are like supernatural songs, tuning the chakral notes of your spiritual body, until finally resonating in harmony with Mama Aya. After each ceremony personal time is set aside between you and the Maestro and this allowed for deeper clarity and insight. Truly fulfilling! In its entirety, I must say, the Lighthouse Ayahuasca Retreat is incredible and incomparable! After it was all said and done it's like I was reborn through Mama Aya. If you're searching for an Ayahuasca retreat, look no further, because this is it! You'll be thankful you chose "Lighthouse! Ayahuasca Retreat "!

Lighthouse did not disappoint! I'm so glad my spirit chose this place. After researching & reading review after review, I found Lighthouse on AyaAdvisors & Lighthouse pulled on me immediately. My heart said...Go there & I'm so glad I did. The entire team was amazing from beginning to end. From the moment you arrive it's all love and you feel safe and secure. I could not ask for a better more supportive group of people. Thank you, Ivan for answering any and all questions before the journey even started. Jino, Christian, Lady Di, Joy, Maestro Antenor, Lenin and Yoko, I have nothing but respect & love for you all. Everyone is amazing! They treat you with respect, love and genuinely care. I now consider them family.❤️ I appreciate the small groups, the undivided personal attention, the authenticity, the love, the private room w/bathroom & shower. I was able to unwind, let go, rest, be peaceful, reset, reflect and shut off my phone. The hike in the jungle (to see the vine & leaves to make the brew), the walk on the beach in the middle of the amazon river & the boat ride on the Amazon are only and added plus of the retreat. The ceremonies will be your own unique experience and Mother Aya did not disappoint me. Maestro Antenors Icaros are soothing, peaceful & powerful. I appreciate the talks the day after the ceremonies. It gives you time to talk with the Maestro & the facilitators about what you experienced, any questions that you may have & to get feedback. Following the Ayahuasca diet for 2 weeks before my arrival was a little difficult, lol. However, I can honestly say they make the food taste great with no salt or seasoning and the natural juices are amazing! I enjoyed & looked forward to breakfast, lunch & dinner! There is also always fresh fruit, tea & water available for snacking. If you're looking for some bougie resort, this is not it. Lighthouse is like going home. It's LOVING family, comfortable, welcoming, and exactly what you need, including the dogs & cats! At Lighthouse you may walk in nervous, but you will leave peaceful. From the spiritual flower bath on day one to the goodbyes on day six, I could not have asked for a better experience for my introduction to Mother Aya. I plan to try & return once a year! If you a searching for a place for your 1st retreat or your 10th retreat...STOP SEARCHING! Go on home to Lighthouse!

Where do I even begin to describe my experience at Lighthouse? After almost two years of searching for an Ayahuasca retreat where I could feel truly comfortable, I finally found Lighthouse. I literally typed “Ayahuasca retreat in Peru” on Google and went down the list one by one, reading reviews — and Lighthouse stood out. It was the only retreat with all 5-star reviews and no negative ones, plus the small group size was exactly what I was looking for. Going into the jungle to meet Mama Aya isn’t something you do on a whim, but from start to finish, Lighthouse made the entire experience amazing. The Team Ivan: Thank you for being so responsive and accommodating — especially when I had passport issues and needed to reschedule my retreat date. Gino: You radiate kindness. Thank you for coordinating everything and always offering support. Lady: You are an incredible woman. Thank you for your words of encouragement and your wisdom. Christian: Thank you for your beautiful morning serenades during breakfast, your guitar playing, and your stories. Joy: As I write this, I’m starting to tear up. THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for holding my hand through my entire ceremony, for your kind words, and for your loving support. You and the entire team are truly amazing. Maestro Antenor: Thank you for sharing your wisdom and knowledge with us, for your powerful Icaros, and for offering insights after each ceremony. Leni, Yoko, and the rest of the team: Thank you for all the behind-the-scenes work — keeping everything running smoothly and making sure we were well fed and cared for. The Retreat The place has everything you need to be comfortable. You won’t find a pool, spa, or gym — and honestly, that’s exactly what I wanted. I wasn’t looking for a fancy resort; I wanted a real, authentic experience, and that’s what Lighthouse offers. You have your own private room and bathroom, time to relax and reflect, and even short excursions when the weather allows. One of the best parts is the small group size (maximum of 8 people) — please, Lighthouse, never change this! It creates such an intimate, supportive environment and is one of the main reasons I chose this retreat. Mama Aya Well… what can I say? During my first ceremony, you didn’t show me much. I came in open but quietly expecting something. Instead, you taught me patience and that not everything in life is about instant gratification. During my second ceremony, I surrendered completely and asked you to be kind and show me what I needed to learn — and you did. You showed me everything I needed to see, even things I didn’t know I needed. No video, documentary, or story can truly prepare you for this experience. Everyone’s journey is different, and Mama Aya will give you exactly what you need. Overall: I would choose Lighthouse again and again. The entire team radiates compassion, love, and care. I don’t know how they do what they do — it takes incredibly special people to guide others through such deep healing work. Joshua, you have built something truly extraordinary with an amazing, caring team. P.S. Please keep the group size just as it is — it makes all the difference. 💚

Really incredible! Thanks Christian, Lady, Joy and all the others! The Intake As I believe going to a retreat for a week to be part of an ayahuasca ceremony is not a decision you make on a whim. And with the personal , quite vulnerable nature of the entire process, I found it reassuring the have an almost hour long talk beforehand to get to know the people behind the organization and the reasons for wanting to be part of the ceremony. Information After the intake a lot of information was shared to prepare for the ceremony beforehand. From meditation to dieting requirements. The crew They couldn’t have been more welcoming, loving and supportive. They were simply great! A big part of the very positive experience! Ceremony The ceremonies were taken very seriously, setting the right supportive atmosphere, the importance of it, the maloka where it took place and the maestras who guided the ceremony with their íkaros; very special. And one - I believe - very (!) important aspect: group size. They are limited to 8 participants, which some organizations don’t do. I don’t want to imagine a group of 16 participants, no way! Mama Aya The ayahuasca root en the chacruna leaves. Just wow (!) what an experience, you can - and they have - write books about it. But…: you just have to experience it! But don’t take it lightly, it is intens, beautiful but intens. Down to basics The facilities were basic, decent and I liked that. It suited the ceremonies. It’s just you, the Amazon and the reason you’re there. (Okay there was also wifi ;-)) Good food and juices within the dietary restrictions Getting your food to taste good without salt is harder than you imagine. But as with anything, you get used to it. It makes you feel better as well. The different fruit juices and creativity in the dishes made it quite good really. (The first dish with salt and all the forbidden elements after the retreat was indescribable!)
