View our retreats

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:

  • Ceremony Duration & Direct Care: Our ceremonies last approximately 3 hours. At the end of each ceremony, the healers check in personally with every participant.
  • Dedicated Support: If you feel unstable, ungrounded, or unwell at the conclusion of the ritual, the healer will remain with you in the ceremonial temple for as long as necessary until you feel fully balanced, clear, and grounded.
  • Overnight Vigilance: All guest rooms are located very close to the healer’s room. Our healers remain attentive and accessible throughout the entire night. If you require help, care, or reassurance at any hour, support is always immediately within reach.

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.

    I was referred to Sapan Inka via a dear friend of mine and in all honesty it took me a few years to come to a place of “readiness”. I have struggled with depression, anxiety and suffering from childhood trauma for most of my life. I have been in therapy since I was sixteen years old, half of my lifetime thus far, and had struggled to come to terms with life experiences and past pains. It wasn’t until last year that I came to a place of acceptance and willingness to participate in plant medicine as a chance for healing and growth. Making the choice to venture into ancient plant medicine, and with the support and guidance of Erik and Nilda was one of the best decisions and gifts I have ever given to myself.

    Before arriving to Peru I was able to speak with Erik via zoom and share my feelings and fears. He was understanding, empathetic and receptive and offered some tools for preparation of the ceremony a month out. One of the main reasons, besides my friends glowing recommendation is that the retreat is small and intimate. It’s 6 people per retreat versus some of the others which have larger groups [up to 25]. For my first time, I felt more comfortable being in a more intimate setting where I could feel supported and seen throughout this process.

    Upon arriving in Peru, they arranged for a taxi from our hotel in Cusco to their home. I felt very safe, supported [energetically, spiritually and emotionally] throughout the entire experience from ceremonies to the integration sessions the following days. The work that they offer anyone who visits is deep, personal and their awareness of that is felt through the 1:1 integration sessions, the rooms [which are comfortable with warm showers], the food prepared [Nilda makes such nourishing and delicious meals] and the place itself. There’s so much room to move around in the garden, in the living room, it’s very spacious and they make you feel at home.

    I will be going back again in July of this year, a testament to how beneficial this place has been for me in regard to healing and self mastery work with plant medicine. I feel safe and comfortable doing so at Sapan Inka, I feel trust with both Erik and Nilda, I feel the respect they have for the work they do which [again] shows in the home they offer, the food they feed you with the support/care given post ceremonies.

    I will always be so grateful for their knowledge, experience and love.

    It is rather difficult to capture in words the depth and breadth of the role Eric and Nilda played in our ayahuasca experience. We truly could not imagine having this experience anywhere else or with any one else. We feel so grateful that Eric and Nilda were our spiritual guides and Shamans throughout this life changing experience.

    They are enlightened souls and it was a pleasure to share their home and their presence with them. Eric’s understanding of the human consciousness makes him a really well rounded shaman- the integration conversations with him after the ceremonies were just as eye opening as the experience itself and helped integrate the lessons from Mother Ayahuasca and San Pedro into this reality.

    Nilda’s food was just as good for our soul as sitting quietly in their garden sanctuary. The walk to the beautiful mountains near their house is a memory we will carry with us forever as well the beautiful sound healing ceremony towards the end of our stay.

    If you are ready for these medicinal plants to truly expand your consciousness in the safest, most loving setting imagine able, please look no further than Sapan Inka. We loved that the groups were really small- only 5 people which made it a really intimate experience.

    Some day, if the plants ever call us again, we can’t imagine going anywhere but here.

    Four months later, the plants continue to speak to us back home in our everyday life and we couldn’t be more grateful for the lessons. Thank you Eric and Nilda!

    I am so grateful to have found Erik & Nilda and to have had the opportunity to experience such a powerful life changing retreat with the two of them facilitating. The property is beautiful, and coupled with the warmth radiating from the hosts made for a very comfortable journey.

    The small group (6 people total while I was there), though fully prepared meals, peaceful grounds, nearby hiking, incredible private sound journey, powerful ceremonies, well organized trip to Machu Picchu…all highlights of this invaluable experience.

    If ayahuasca is calling you and you’re looking for an affirmation, let this be it. My life has changed tremendously and in ways that are hard to fathom. The medicine is still working & I am still tapping into everything I took away from my time in Peru. I can sincerely and wholeheartedly recommend Erik & Nilda to guide you through your ceremony.

    I received the inspiration to go and have this experience, after seeing on TV how Ayahuasca has worked since ancient times in the human being; then after researching all the online sponsored retreats I came to Sapan Inka for a wonderfully powerful, healing and transformative retreat. Sapan Inka inspired confidence and I confirmed with the help given by Erik, Nilda and La Negra (the Dog) an important member of the house in her beautiful, cozy and spacious place.
    My experience was so important and revealing that I am going to repeat it this coming May 2022…

    Everything was PERFECT! Nilda and Eric are amazing people. Very kind, caring, and loving. Their house is beautiful and very peaceful. We really enjoyed staying with them for a week in 2020. Highly recommend them. Thank you both for everything 🙂
