Sapan Inka: Small groups (7 people) and integration sessions

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 wholeheartedly recommend the Sapan Inka Ayahuasca Retreat Center. From my very first email exchanges, I was reassured by the professionalism, warmth, and clarity of Erik and Nilda. This was my first experience with Ayahuasca, and it turned out to be one of the most profound and transformative experiences of my life.
Throughout the ceremony, I felt deeply cared for, thanks to Erik’s genuine attention to each participant. His presence created a safe and supportive environment, allowing me to open fully to the Ayahuasca experience while always feeling secure and grounded.
What impressed me most is Erik’s rare ability to build a bridge between the Western scientific mindset and the wisdom of ancient shamanic traditions. This balance brought an added depth and trust to the process.
I sincerely hope to return to Sapan Inka and to Erik and Nilda soon, to continue this journey of healing and discovery.

Sapan Inka is a place for healing.
Honestly, from the first moment, I felt I was in a special place.
Erik and Nilda are responsible and experienced shamans who guided me, with care and respect, through two deep and life changing ceremonies. The process was intense, but I always felt higly cared an supported.
When I arrived, I had a long conversation with Erik to clarify my intention and guide the experience. There was also a follow-up process throughout the retreat.
The place is wonderful, surrounded by nature, with a unique energy. I went for walks around the area, and it was a very beautiful experience. Nilda cooked delicious food, and the cuisine was excellent to support the process.
The effects of the medicine are still working on me, and its something truly transformative. One of those experiences that change your life.
I highly recommend Sapan Inka if you are on a responsible and deep searching to heal.
I will always be grateful to Erik y Nilda, and to this sacred place to heal.. Thanks you so much…

A journey of Ayahuasca is deeply personal on many levels. However the exterior environment and professionalism can greatly affect the outcome of the process. In all of these Sapan Inka center has been excellent. I have not only been a guest or participant in their House but I have felt I became a part of a spiritual family.

The House is a true sacred space , with a clean , welcoming and deep atmosphere. But what is most important: Erik and Nidal have both have a long history for over 10+ years training and 25+ years working with the Medicine, having been selected as healers, having fought the battles of overcoming and becoming to be true guides.
What is more: very rarely does a shaman have overlook on both traditional AND scientific/ psychological aspects of the process, but Erik and Nidal are one of those very rare ones, even going for a PhD in psychology. Their real interest in learning and evolving while combining a deep understanding of plant medicine makes Sapan Inka a unique and hard to find place on Earth.
On my 5 day retreat I happened to find myself in a unique situation: I was the only one participating on the retreat (has not happened for years)! But the shamans gave me all their effort and attention and went through the process nonetheless as normal. This was a great help for me having travelled across the world not to cancel my retreat and I am humbled to have received All of their support and truly professional guidance. I was also offered to contact them any time in the future if I have any further questions on my spiritual developement.

This was beyond any doubt one of the highlights of my spiritual life and I have had the chance to experience it with true mentors and real friends in a blessed space.
I admit decision before has not been easy for me, but I encourage everyone: take the leap.

I recently attended a retreat at Sapan Inka, where I participated in three Ayahuasca ceremonies. Throughout the entire process, I felt supported and genuinely cared for by Erik and Nilda. The retreat house was very comfortable, the food was nourishing, and the setting in the Sacred Valley was stunning.

The experience felt deeply authentic to tradition, especially as two of the ceremonies were held with a visiting shaman from the Amazon. Their presence brought a powerful and traditional energy to the space. The Icaros (medicine songs) were particularly special and became an essential part of my journey. Erik and Nilda have over 20 years of experience working with Ayahuasca and the shaman, which gave me a strong sense of safety. The ceremonies were conducted in a highly intentional way, with doses tailored to each individual.

Before the first ceremony and again the morning after each one, we had private conversations with Erik. I found this to be especially important for understanding and integrating the experience.

Now, a month later, I can truly feel the positive impact the retreat has had on me. I’ve gained greater self-awareness, a deeper trust in life, and a renewed sense of gratitude. It was a profound and meaningful experience that I’ll carry with me always, and I would love to return in the future to continue the work with Ayahuasca.

I would definitely recommend Sapan Inka to anyone seeking a genuine Ayahuasca experience.

My experience at Sapan Inka was truly life-changing.

The ceremonies were powerful, intense, and held with great care. I felt deeply supported throughout the process by Erik and Nilda, whose presence was warm, humble, and wise. The space itself is beautiful, safe, and rooted in deep respect for the medicine and the Shipibo tradition.

During my stay, I experienced moments of clarity, joy, and deep release. Some visions brought messages of love, others brought shadows to the surface — but all were part of a greater process of healing and remembering. After the second ceremony in particular, I felt something shift profoundly in me.

The integration afterward is not easy, but it’s very meaningful. I’ve made changes in my daily life, and I feel more present with myself.
If you feel called to do this work, I would recommend Sapan Inka wholeheartedly. It’s a place of deep sincerity, integrity, and care.

Thank you for everything.
