From the middle of Paris to the middle of the jungle…

I felt blessed to stayed in Pisatahua for 6 weeks as a volonteer in february 2019.
The center is amazing, part of a reserved in a small community where you can enjoy boat ride and guided walk in the jungle to observe wild life and identify plants.
All the rooms are situated by the lake where you can enjoy a swim, they are built in a traditionnal and confortable way, every night beautiful music of the jungle take me to deep sleep.
Its situated only 45mn from the aeroport of Riberalta, where you can enjoy açaï juices at the market and nice restaurants or hotels if you want to stay before of after your retreat.

The relation with Erik the manager and is wife Sasha was amazing from day one. They make this place magic, and magic is real!
I felt at home and in a familly…
The Shaman Wayra and is assistant Guido where perfect guides throught the Ayahuasca ceremony nights, beautiful musicians and singers. They teach us about cosmology, gave us tabaco ceremony and other medecine plants every day on top of a strict diet. I love the morning yoga and meditation with Sara too.
My expérience was rich of insite, beauty and heart opening, today I can see the great change it did in my life.
I am full of gratitude for everything I received during my stay, and I am planing to come back…Yes I recommande 200% this retreat center.

After traveling for six months in South America and reaching a perfect point in our lives, my partner and I decided to attend an Ayahuasca Retreat in the Bolivian Amazon. After thorough research, we signed up for a 10-day retreat at Pisatahua which included 4 Ayahuasca ceremonies and 1 tobacco ceremony. Erik and Sasha were very helpful and happy to answer any queries we had before arrival.

This retreat could not have been more perfect. It’s idyllic setting in the Aquicuana Reserve, next to a beautiful lagoon was a bonus to all the benefits of this retreat. The cost includes everything you need during your stay: Airport transfers, food, water, accommodation, guided jungle walks, and a boat trip. Our hut was private, peaceful and overlooked the lagoon. We enjoyed waking up to the birds every morning and falling asleep to a variety of jungle sounds.

My intention during the retreat was to receive insight into my direction in life but I learned so much more. Each person on the retreat had a unique experience and every ceremony was completely different. The healers (Niño and Josefine) from Casa de Pawua did an excellent job of holding the space for everyone during their 10-day journey and were professional and knowledgeable in their work. Niño has a deep connection with the jungle and the plant medicine which was an integral component to the ceremonies. It really is an experience you will never forget.

I am forever grateful for my time spent a Pisatahua, with the healers and the strangers who became family. I thoroughly recommend this retreat and hope I have the opportunity to return later in life.

My partner and I came to the Bolivian Amazon for healing and to receive insight about our direction in life. We wanted a retreat that honored both the land and the plant medicine in a sacred way and thanks to Pisatahua, we got just that and more. We attended a 10 day retreat which included 4 Ayahuasca ceremonies and a tobacco ceremony. A second tobacco ceremony was offered to me as I was in need of additional cleansing.

The healer (Nino) is native to the Bolivian jungle and had that deep connection with the plant medicine and the natural world. He knew just how much medicine to serve, he channeled the medicine through powerful sacred song (icaros) and had a genuine care for people.

The venue employs local people in the community and directly supports the preservation of local natural resources. Our cabin had a nice view of the lake and was very private. The accommodations and food quality were well worth the cost and the staff tended to our needs with care. They held a wonderful space for our group to come together and we are very happy with our decision to choose Pisatahua.

Erik, Sasha and Chaca made sure we had transportation from the airport, to our hotel in town and to the retreat center. They even surprised us at the end of the retreat with a trip to go swimming at a beautiful local lake. If you want an authentic experience with staff and healers who are committed to supporting your journey with the plant medicine, you’ve found it.

My experience with Pisatahua was profound and healing in so many ways. I am so inspired by this project as it provides a loving and supportive community to honor your own healing journey as well as healing for the earth. A percentage of the funds earned for the ayahuasca retreats held go to preserving the Amazon Jungle. The cabin accommodations were the perfect balance of feeling comfortable in the jungle but immersed at the same time. The staff and healers went above and beyond to create a memorable experience for all the participants. For me, the ceremonies brought forth deep childhood trauma to heal and I felt safe accessing these very vulnerable parts and sharing with my community of new friends. I am honored to have the experience to learn more about the jungle plant life and animals as well as having the opportunity to cook the “medicine”. A big heartfelt thank you for the work you are doing in this world!

I had the blessing of attending a ten day retreat at Pisatahua on March 2019 and I don’t have enough words to describe the love I feel now for this place and the people I met here. It is located in the Amazonian jungle, not so easy to get there but the host, Erick, picked us up at Riberalta’s airport and took us to the retreat center. He always looked that we had everything we needed to be comfortable (i.e. water, laundry, flashlights, candles, food, etc.) The location is stunning; there are wooden huts hidden amongst the trees and overlooking the river. We loved the hammock in the rooms where you could lay down and relax. The food was delicious, although keep in mind that there will be some days with very restricted diet due to the ceremonies. Remember to take insect repellent as well, do not underestimate the Bolivian jungle!
Our healers, Wayra and Guido, where for sure cut-out for their jobs. Although they look young, you can definitely tell they have the knowledge and wisdom of all their ancestors. The way they conducted the ceremonies was beautiful, the music was perfect and they really knew how to read the room. They were also readily available for any questions or for just talking during the day. Needless to say that my experience with the ceremonies was always beautiful and it completely changed who I am, I felt so much love for everything and everyone there (new brothers and sisters), and I felt forever closer to my Inner Light.
All in all, I would say that if you’re looking for the real deal of a life-changing ayahuasca retreat then look no more. Pisatahua is the best place you will find, I cannot recommend it enough.
