At Sapan Inka, we believe that participating in an Ayahuasca retreat offers a profound opportunity for deep energetic cleansing, spiritual awakening, and personal healing. Our unique approach is a conscious synthesis of traditional Amazonian plant medicine and the principles of transpersonal psychology. We are not a center for spiritual tourism; we are a dedicated sanctuary for psychospiritual exploration, ancestral healing, and genuine personal transformation.
A Safe, Sacred, and Respectful Ceremonial Space
We distinguish ourselves through high ethical standards, personalized care, and unwavering energetic support during every ceremony. We honor a philosophy of conscious support: we respect the wisdom of expanded states of consciousness, allowing the healing intelligence of Ayahuasca and your own inner guidance to unfold naturally without unnecessary interference.
Safety and participant well-being are at the core of our practice:
Depth Psychotherapy & Integration
The transformative power of Ayahuasca is fully realized through structured integration. At Sapan Inka, psychotherapeutic integration goes beyond simple conversation. We provide a professional framework to help you interpret the symbolic language of your visions, bridging deep spiritual insights into tangible, lasting life changes.
Preparation & Commitment
An Ayahuasca journey can be intensely challenging and demands emotional readiness, maturity, and commitment. Our approach is designed for individuals seeking authentic inner work rather than a superficial experience. To ensure safety and deep, personalized attention, we intentionally keep our retreat groups very small.
A Warm Welcome to Your Healing Journey
Embarking on a path of sacred medicine is a courageous step toward self-discovery, emotional freedom, and inner peace. We understand that taking this step requires trust, and we are committed to holding a safe, honorable, and compassionate space where you can safely release old burdens and reconnect with your true self.
If you feel called to work with us, we warmly invite you to begin this journey. Whether you wish to explore the details of our retreats or simply prefer a personal connection before applying, we welcome you to schedule a private 15-minute video call with us. We look forward to meeting you and walking alongside you on your path to healing.

January 6, 2023 at 2:10 pmI attended a five-day ayahuasca etreat at Sapan Inka in June 2022. It was such an amazing experience. Nilda and Eric are wonderful, Nild is a great cook and eric accompanies her wonderflly. They will make sure you are comfortable and you have your privacy. Its an individual unique experience and everyone will receive as they expect. One should definitely try it, you won’t be disappointed.

January 5, 2023 at 9:01 amI did the 6 day retreat which consisted of two Ayahuasca and one San Pedro ceremony in addition, a trip to Machu Picchu, which I thoroughly enjoyed and its an experience I will cherish. Communication between myself and Erik and Nilda was timely and smooth. They set up my transportation from my place to the retreat and back when my time was done, so there really wasn’t anything to worry about. The retreat is located in Urubamba which is about a 1 hour and 30 minute drive from Cusco, the scenery and the local people you see are beautiful so be sure to take pictures.
The retreat itself is set in the middle of nature, surrounded by mountains, with a garden courtyard and beautifully built buildings. The two Ayahuasca ceremonies were visually stunning and intense, and I learned and am still learning from those experiences. I got to share my experience with four other awesome people from around the world over delicious meals that Erik and Nilda provided us. Erik was very helpful during our conversations in helping me interpret my trips I had. The San Pedro ceremony helped me integrate my Ayahuasca experiences and connected me with my surroundings on our hike up the mountain towards the ancient ruins. Overall I had a tremendously great time that I’ll never forget. For myself it was worth the investment.

January 3, 2023 at 12:17 pmI visited the Erik and Nilda in May of 2022 and I must say it was an awesome experience. Erik’s knowledge about western psychology, paired with the ancient Inka wisdom from years of living with Shaman’s in the Amazonian region is key for a Ayahuasca experience. Nilda is a warm and loving soul and has a deep knowledge of herbs and plants. I enjoyed the life transforming sessions with them and the deep conversations I had. It is a very private place and due to the small groups they accept they can focus on each individual which I think it is key for such an experience. I strongly recommend Erik and Nilda to everyone. Love & Light to you my friends and everyone who reads this review.

January 3, 2023 at 5:22 amI had a truly wonderful experience at Sapan Inka with Erik and Nilda; my first ever Aya journey. They were highly communicative in advance, during and after the retreat which was reassuring and appreciated. My trips were not what I expected at all and at first I wondered if I’d ‘missed out’ but with the benefit of hindsight I think Mother Aya was showing me exactly what I needed to see; that my limiting thoughts are what hold me back and what I need to address – and also that sometimes cleansing and unblocking your traumas or depressed feelings (especially when they run deep) is what is needed; more so than strong visuals or confrontations. I expect my next experience with ayahuasca will be very different. I had a beautiful and emotional journey with San Pedro as part of my retreat too and witnessing Machu Pachu was incredibly special. I learnt a lot during my stay at Sapan Inka and am still continuing to learn many weeks later. I naively thought the retreat might be the end of my healing journey, really it was just the beginning though and I’m grateful to have begun it with Erik and Nilda <3.

January 2, 2023 at 9:14 pmI am forever grateful to Erik and Nilda for holding such a loving, safe, comfortable and sacred space for my first Ayhuasca retreat. Their devotion, commitment, and respect for the medicine and their guests was all extraordinary.
The small group size was perfect. We were 6 strangers who bonded quickly during our shared meals together. Through our conversations it was evident that we all received the individual care we needed during our stay, and that we were all really happy to have chosen Sapan Inka. It was also unanimous that the blinking light device was enjoyed by all. There are so many other positive experiences that concur with what others have already stated.
It was an excellent choice to go to Sapan Inka. I highly recommend Erik and Nilda to guide you on your Ayahuasca journey.
