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.

    Sapan Inka was my first Ayahuasca experience and I have to say that I enjoyed it a lot. After doing some research, I decided on the Sapan Inka retreat because they offered two Ayahuasca sessions and one San Pedro ceremony. I thought that would be enough for a beginner and was not disappointed. Erik and Nilda were great host. Very warm and welcoming. The food was delicious and their pets were an extra perk when visiting. As other people have mentioned, the villa is gorgeous and comfortable. My only suggestions would be – use some insect repellent as I got bit in the jungle during the San Pedro ceremony.

    All in all I really enjoyed their method of using the plant medicine in tandem with light therapy and music.

    Would recommend to anyone and am planning to go back myself.

    I had a an amazing experience at Sapan Inka with the hosts Erik and Nilda who were so warm and lovely since the moment we walked into the retreat center. I had some visa issues and had to postpone my tour which they understood and kept an empty spot for the next batch. I had decided to participate in a 5 day Ayahuasca and San Pedro (huachuma) retreat which included 2 Ayahuasca ceremonies, 1 Pandora Star light session, 1 San Pedro ceremony with Pachamama ritual and a hike to the Inca tombs on the nearby hill ending with a sound healing session. Number of participants is limited to 5 people in a batch and this really helps as it enables Erik to conduct a one on one session with each individual.
    This was my first Ayahuasca experience and it has really made a deep impact in my life. I feel relaxed and grateful for everything this nature provides.Content and Light headed.
    I would like to describe my first Ayahuasca session as an introduction into the magical world of visions followed by my second Ayahuasca session as a journey through higher dimensions. The way Erik and Nilda set up things beginning with individual assessments to guidance through the ceremonies without interfering your personal space is commendable. Their approach to this ancient technique is in a modern scientific way.
    The San Pedro ceremony provides a deeper understanding of visions from the Ayahuasca followed by a clarity in thoughts which left me in awe.
    The property is beautiful and located in a peaceful and relaxing place. The sound of water from small fountain inside the premises itself provides a deep relaxing meditating experience throughout the day during preparation for the ceremony in evening.
    The house is clean, tidy and always feels fresh.
    The food is simple yet delicious and Nilda really has magic in her hands.
    The cute little dog (Negra) is a special character in the house and interacting with her is a therapy on its own.
    I had an overall amazing experience at Sapan Inka and would recommend it to everyone and would definitely participate again in the near future.

    Love,
    Paresh (India)

    I researched a lot different ayahuasca retreats and I was so glad and happy that we chose Sapan Inka to have our plant medicine experience at !
    Erik and Nilda are like family, they are so kind, caring and compassionate, from the very first moment that they greet you and welcome you into their beautiful home you know that you are in for a beautiful experience and a great retreat.
    Sapan Inka was definitely an experience to remember. We took part in 2 ayahuasca ceremonies and 1 San Pedro ceremony and I cannot say enough about how much my wife and I experienced so many emotions and healing in those three sessions. We had an excellent group that was fun and supportive of each other.
    My experience at Sapan Inka was very profound and changed my life in so many ways, I feel so much lighter and in sync with the Universe than ever before.
    Erik has a PHD in Psychology and he recommended several great books that were “spot on” and really helped me on my journey after I left Sapan Inka. If you are reading these reviews and have not yet made up your mind please consider Sapan Inka as I feel that it is the very best and most highly recommended ayahuasca retreat that provides everything that you could possibly want to help you on your journey to enlightenment !
    Thank-you very much with lots of Love Erik and Nilda !

    First, I heard about Sapan Inka 5 years ago and it took me 5 years to pull myself together and mentally mature for AY ceremonies. I am glad I’ve chosen Sapan Inka at the end. Before I start talking about ceremonies let me just say that the facilities are great, very comfortable and renovated to really high standards. There is also a nice big garden with fountains where you can stroll and ponder over your experience.
    Now about the ceremonies: At first sight the shaman Eric does not seem to be very talkative. He prefers to listen to you to what you want to share and have to say. Only then Eric starts talking and trust me every word is counted and carries a deep and profound meaning which you may not even realize at the first glance.
    I keep still coming back to what Eric said earlier and I find more and more meaning and sense. I also read some other reviews. Some people felt disappointed because the AY ceremonies did not meet their expectations. I felt that too after the first ceremony when I did not feel anything at all. But: I listened to Eric’s explanations attentively and trustfully. I did believe him at full heart when Eric said that the invisible hand of mother AY and the healing has already started and is already working on me even though I felt like nothing happened. This is just the deceitful perception of your body and mind but not your consciousness. Eric proved himself right when during the next healing ceremony, I was hit big time and got an overwhelming experience making up for all past if you want to apply the Western term for the justification.
    I cannot stress enough the point that it is so crucial to have an experienced and proficient guidance when you do the AY healing practice who can help you to understand what’s going on within you, with your body and you mind. All you have to do then is to trust the guide and your experience. Eric is the guide I did and I do not regret. And I will come back again one day.

    Erik & Nilda facilitated an amazing retreat at Sapan Inka.

    My friend and I participated in a 5 day Ayahusca + San Pedro retreat with 3 other people. We were all incredibly satisfied with the facilities provided and the ceremony. The accomodation is very nice and the location was perfect.

    Erik & Nilda are genuinely great people. Their intention to help others was very clear. If you choose Sapan Inka I’m sure your experience will be as positive as ours. Thank you very much for your amazing service Erik & Nilda. I wish you both all the best!
