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.

    Raúl. I am from Panamá – 47 years old. I heard about the term ayahuasca on 2011 for first time, when I began to read and take a look at many videos about personal experiences, documentary and scientist research. Then I took the decision to live this spiritual experience and selected the Sapan Inka Project, after a period of looking for a confident and serious place during 4 years.

    I have participated in these retreats in December 2015 and December 2017. In both journeys I had experienced an extremely spiritual and mystical connection with the rest of universe both at a particle and at an existence level.

    The job Erik and Nilda make is to guide every participant to face what the medicine would immerse every person in a unique way. Every detail of the retreat is carefully taken by them including logistical steps, vegetarian feeding, one to one talk before and after every experience, the selection of the house, the room, every step of the ritual, the icaros, etc. I felt them with me in my internal journey, even when I was under intensive catharsis trances. When they sing the icaros, their voices move the male and female energy to clean everything in our body, constituent elements, particles, in the material, mental, astral and many other dimensions that makes part or a connection within our existence.

    In my case ayahuasca retreats in Sapan-Inka allowed my more vivid experience than all the information read and heard for the last 20 years, from many mystical sources.

    If you need to go an step ahead in your own existence, no matter how elevated you feel to be, in my retreat experience I have seen there is always something to clean in our very profound inner dimensions. Based on this extract I recommend to those who want to be in charge of their destiny to visit Erick and Nilda at the Sapan Inka Project. I universal hug to everyone of my sisters and brothers.

    If you are like me, you’ll be scared that you will either die or go crazy (or go crazy and then die!) during the ayahuasca ceremony. Yet, I’ve lived to tell the tail and I believe the experience have put me on a more psychologically even keel. Erik and Nilda are kind and sincere and at all times you will feel safe and taken care of. I would have awarded the experience 6 stars if I could! Francois, South Africa

    My experience at Sapan Inka Retreat Center was deeply profound. For years I have desired to travel to Peru and attend ceremonies. I have researched dozens of retreats and reached out to several of them. I finally choose Sapan Inka because I believed they were the most authentic and that their hearts were truly in it. Now that I’ve stayed there, I know those beliefs to be 100% true. The ceremonies were beautiful. Erik and Nilda’s amazing music and voices carried my psyche through the currents of the plant medicines in beautiful harmony. The retreat center and its surroundings are peaceful and picturesque. Spending the days reading, meditating, and walking around the valley was therapeutic. The vegan meals were delicious and fulfilling. The arrangements for our trip to Machu Pichu were also perfect. I am very grateful for the opportunity to attend a retreat at Sapan Inka and hope to experience it again.

    I did my research prior to picking Sapan Inka Retreat. Initially I wanted to have my ceremony near the jungles of Iquitos but I am so thankful I chose Sapan Inka instead. The ceremony was held in Sacred Valley inside of a luxurious villa. There were no bugs, running toilets, warm showers and comfortable beds.

    Erik and Nilda were very warm to the entire group. My group consisted of only 5 people. 4 women and myself (a male). Everyone was very comfortable during the ceremonies and Erik did an amazing job debriefing everyone after each ceremony.

    I followed the aya diet exactly as prescribed and I was very happy I did. The experience was very spiritual, loving and positive. I have since recommended it to anyone who has asked me and if I ever return to Peru I hope to give Erik and Nilda a visit!

    I found Sapan Inka retreat online and decided to try it out for my for my first ayuyhuasca retreat while traveling in Peru… heard rumors saying retreats near a Cusco were a scam but felt a connection with Erik and Nilda through their emails and knew this was the one… and must say had zero regret they exceeded my expectations. They limit the number of participants to 5 but in our case there were only 3 and it was great we bonded and were able to share our experiences in a super safe environment. As explained in their website they only offer 2 ayu ceremonies per retreat because they believe it’s enough.. it’s not about the money or quantity but the quality of the experience and the ability to guide each participant in an intimate space.

    The first ceremony was quite intense for me and every time I felt afraid or lost I could feel their presence surrounding and guiding me… if they could they would have walked the path for me but I knew I had to do it alone… it was like having the mother and father along the journey it was rough and beautiful at the same time highly recommend anyone in Cusco to find time because it’s was a unique experience.

    House, food, transfer, nature was all amazing and had all my needs met. Will definitely revisit next time I’m in Peru.

    Hard part is leaving and continue the path and lessons alone but I know if I ever need help they are always available a click away.
