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.

July 16, 2014 at 12:00 amI went on the Sapan Inka Project not fully knowing what I would experience. The journey I had and lessons I learnt were life altering. It will always be a time that I cherish and look back on with fondness.It is also something that I would now do again as I understand more and more how important this ritual is. My life has changed drastically for the better since my experience, I am eating healthier, I am more aware and my compassion has grown. I am reading and learning many things on the subject to continue my growth and development. I am building on the tools and knowledge I learnt on this retreat.
I could not have asked for a better spiritual guide then Erik. His knowledge, wisdom and calmness were at the forefront. The ceremonies were beautiful and purposeful. Nilda’s voice in the ceremonies lifted you to new heights and realms while her cooking was world class.
The whole retreat is brilliantly organised and you will come out with meaning and guidance.
I look forward to my next visit which hopefully will be soon.

July 15, 2014 at 12:00 amI had been reading about ayahuasca for a few years but I never thought I would have the courage to participate in an ayahuasca ceremony. This year I started feeling the urge to experience this as I wanted to improve myself and get more understanding about myself and life. I had no idea how to chose a retreat so I let my friend Chris chose one because I know he always makes good decisions and is pretty lucky in life. After some search he emailed me the Sapan inka project website by telling me: this is the one! I m feeling good about this one. I took a look and trusted his choice. We went to Peru and spent a couple days in Cusco before getting picked up to go to the retreat and even though I was nervous, everything felt right. We arrived in the village and were welcomed in this lovely house by Nilda and Erik. They were very sweet and simple. We were a small group of 3. We had a one on one talk with Erik before the ceremony to address our goals expectations and concerns. The ceremony started at 8 pm, I was very nervous. The medicine was very potent and strong but I felt protected as if there was a shield around us. Every time I was panicking inside I would hear the soothing voices of Nilda and Erik singing the Icaros and that would calm me down and help me feel safe. The next morning we woke up to the healthiest breakfast I ever had. Fresh fruits and vegetables, smoothie. We had a one on one talk again to address the experience and help understand if better. We then decided to go walk for a bit and got up to a waterfall which I had seen in my visions the previous night. I felt reenergized. The second night ceremony was also very intense but once again I felt the good energy from Nilda and Erik and felt safe.
I ll never forget the beauty of Nilda and Erik and how harmonious their living is. I felt in a different world full of peace and love. I hope to go back there one day again. What I experienced there in just 2 days is shaping my life and destiny now.

July 10, 2014 at 12:00 amI signed up with Sapan Inka once I saw the transformation of a friend who just came back from Peru. He was not drinking alcohol any more and his health was better than ever.
My personal experience was extraordinary and much more than what I expected! We were an small group of four and we were given such a close attention that none us wanted to leave at the end.
The Ayahuasaca experience was something out of this world and we each saw and experience things that we have never experienced before.
The San Pedro was just a great closure for our trip! I felt united with nature and felt as I was part of the trees and mountains. Just extraordinary!
I honestly believe that with the amount of time and care that they devote to each individual they should charge much more!! We all told each other that if we stayed in a regular Hotel for four days, we would be paying more!
I have been in 41 countries and experienced many things but nothing like this.
I thank Erik & Nilda for doing this for me, God Bless them.

May 27, 2014 at 12:00 amSapan Inka Project is a place were serious work with the plant medicines are done. The healers/guides from this retreat primary concern is your healing and not your money like most other retreats. They incorporate plant medicines, Andean rituals and psychological development to help you integrate your life.
Erik and Nilda are one of the most humble and profound guides that I have drank the medicine with. They are the reason why I have returned to their retreat twice to continue the work. Their retreat house is surrounded by enormous mountains and vegetation. Their vegetarian meals are simply delicious. On clear nights, you can see millions of stars and the end tail of the Milky Way.
However, the best aspect of this retreat is that they are small…4 people max. Therefore they focus all their energy on healing you. In addition, you have at least 3 one to one sessions to discuss your progress during the retreat which is unheard of in other centers since they pack 15-20 people in one retreat.
Overall I highly recommend this retreat to those who want to heal on a more profound level. It’s serious work, but the rewards are permanent.
