Marosa Healing Center is a family-led, Shipibo-run plant medicine retreat for those seeking deep healing, personal transformation, and a genuine connection to traditional Amazonian medicine. Whether you’re navigating chronic illness, emotional challenges, or a call toward spiritual alignment, we offer a grounded, supportive environment to do that work safely and intentionally.
Our retreat is designed for people who want more than a surface-level experience. Here, you’re not just attending ceremonies—you’re stepping into a living tradition. Guests are welcomed into a small, heart-centered community where healing unfolds through ayahuasca ceremonies, plant diets, and daily connection with the jungle.
We intentionally keep our groups small (maximum 14 guests) so each person receives real attention, care, and space for integration. Accommodations are simple, private, and comfortable—created to support rest, reflection, and deep internal work.
Rather than focusing on luxury amenities, we prioritize the quality of care. Our team includes highly experienced Shipibo healers with decades of practice, guiding each process with precision, integrity, and compassion.
This may not be the right place if you’re seeking a luxury retreat or a casual experience. But if you feel called to work deeply with authentic Shipibo medicine—especially through traditional plant dieting—you’ll find a meaningful and supportive home here.
Retreats begin every Sunday and Wednesday, with flexible scheduling based on your intentions. Whether you’re joining for a shorter stay or committing to longer, immersive work, we’re here to meet you where you are.
Marosa Healing Center is led by Maestra Angela Sanchez Rios, a highly respected Shipibo healer with over 25 years of experience working with ayahuasca and Amazonian plant medicine.
Known for her warmth, presence, and deep level of care, Maestra Angela works closely with each guest, tending not only to the ceremonial space but to the full healing process. Her approach includes a range of traditional practices such as plant vapor baths, personalized plant remedies, and the preparation and guidance of master plant diets.
Her work is rooted in both strength and compassion—holding each person with the same level of attention and care she would offer her own family.

January 10, 2024 at 6:24 pmI have spent two weeks at Marosa and it has been a beautiful, but challenging journey through mind and the world of healers and shamans. The authentic and rural setting doesn‘t allow a lot of outside stimulus to get in, which makes it a perfect place to go deep!

It was my first experience with ayahuasca and I was looking for an authentic and simple place with good shamans. I didn’ want a fancy “holiday resort” with group activities and other distractions. I found here a perfect place for healing. I am very grateful for what Marosa did for me. I arrived there extremely weak, depressed and anxious. For the first 2 days I could not even talk to people without crying. Maestra Angela and Maestro Eber took care of me with love and my anxiety went down, plus my energy and joy went up! I have a cancer and I am aware that an 11-days stay is not long enough for a total recovery, but the healing process starts from the Spirit and the body will follow! I will come back and I definitely recommend Marosa if you’re looking for a peaceful. place without mosquitos. I was the only participant for the first week and this was a real priviledge! A big thank you to all the staff, including Tony, Raquel (best cook ever), Manuel, Joao and the cutest one, Claudio (a 7-years-old boy) who cheered me up with his smile!

November 14, 2023 at 3:25 pmOverall experience was good. I really like the food a lot. The people who work and leave there were extremely friendly and welcoming. I felt I was well looked after. Some little things that were listed were missing, but at the end it didn’t matter. The bungalows were good and the bed is comfortable. We had a bit of WiFi and enough electricity. The retreat itself is very nice and I liked the property. If you go there at the time when none of English speaking facilitators are present some stuff will get lost in translation. I went there in off season and was the only one participating in the ceremonies at the start. That another guy came. So, having the place and a ceremony to your own is pretty good. The result of my stay and the ceremonies has exceeded my expectations.
They also offer jungle tours there it is absolutely must.

September 26, 2023 at 9:18 pmMy girlfriend and me stayed one week at marosa. It was a beautiful experience and everyone was very kind especially Toni the owner was alwas really helpful. We are currently learning spanish so there was a slight language barrier with Maestra Angela and Jorge the second shaman there but Toni speaks englisch very well and translates to the shamans.
The ceremonys were deep, wild, intense and i felt like really authentic. I drank four times in this week and it felt like three weeks for me. The singing of the shamans and jorge was just beautiful to listen to and really helped in the experience. All in all i would definitly recommend Marosa if you want to experience Ayahuasca by Shipibo Family,

September 20, 2023 at 6:17 pmI spent 3-Months at Marosa to assist me in healing cancer. This is by far the most authentic shamonic experience I have ever had. It is not for the faint of heart, but the healing is worth it. I highly recommend Marosa.
