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.

    Sapan Inka no es solamente una lugar o espacio para poder conectar con la sabiduría de las plantas, sino que es, en si, un proceso de sanación. Desde el primer día con la charla con Erik se inicia este proceso de apertura y acompañamiento durante todos los días. Su acompañamiento te brinda el sostén de la experiencia, la capacidad de poner en palabras y observar el contenido de las ceremonias. Y por otro lado esta Nilda, quien me brindo un amor y un entendimiento necesario para poder ingresar en las profundidades de la experiencia. Es un privilegio haber realizado el retiro en este espacio sagrado y con personas tan mágicas.

    Ya han pasado varios meses desde que estuve en el Sapan Inka, y aun sigo trabajando con los procesos de sanación que se develaron en las ceremonias.. Al mes de haber terminado mi retiro tuve una conversación con Erik de nuevo, ya que le solicite ayuda con parte de este proceso, y no dudo en responderme y enviarme material de lectura para poder seguir profundizando en mi camino. La posibilidad de sanar de la mano de personas tan armónicas y sabias como Erik y Nilda hacen que todo el camino valga la pena., Recomiendo a todos los seres que deseen profundizar en sus procesos internos poder ser parte de Sapan Inka.

    Voy a estar agradecida toda la vida con este lugar, este espacio sagrado y la sabiduría y amor de Erik y Nilda, ya que han sido parte de una sanación para toda la vida. ¡Gracias inmensas!

    I can’t say enough about how grateful I am for my experience at Sapan Inka. Erik and Nilda are wonderful hosts and genuinely amazing souls. I felt welcomed, comfortable, and safe from the moment I entered their sacred land. There is a special energy here, which is important when dealing with these plant medicines. They are masters at performing ceremonies in their acoustically perfect temple. The sounds they produced with their music, chants, and songs cannot be explained, only experienced. The way they move energy through the room and through your soul is mind blowing. Not to mention, the setting in the Sacred Valley is just so beautiful! Erik was very clear and thorough about what to expect leading up to this and when I arrived. We had a very real talk about what to expect and how to prepare. I followed all of the recommended preparations a month before going into the retreat and would recommend doing so for anyone. Take this very seriously and the you will experience same rewards that I have found. I participated in 2 ayahuasca ceremonies and 1 San Pedro ceremony. I felt completely at peace and like Mother Earth had been wrapping a big hug around me. Erik and I had a conversation the next day after each ceremony and he gave great insight on how to interpret my experience, and how to carry what I learned back into every day life. He also said to contact him anytime I need guidance in my life. Nilda is an amazing cook, all of the meals were delicious and in line with the dieta. She also has one of the most beautiful voices I’ve ever heard. This was extremely eye opening and healing for me. I got out of this what I set my intentions to, plus way more than I could’ve ever Imagined. I would recommend Sapan Inka to anyone and everyone, and I see myself coming back again. This is a very real experience and was life changing for me. 5 stars is not enough to give. Thank you so much Erik and Nilda!

    I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Nilda and Eric. The entire service: communication, transfer, accommodation, feedback, food — all of this is beyond praise. It’s hard to imagine a better people and place for Ayahuasca retreat

    As for the ceremony itself, any words seem primitive and rude to convey the experience that occurs during the ceremony.

    I would also like to address those who are going on this trip for the first time: just follow all the rules and trust shamans

    It’s been 4 months since my experience at Sapan Inka and I have lots to say. First of all the location is wonderful there is something magical about this place, you can feel it as soon as you arrived that it’s sacred and powerful. The landscape around the house is gorgeous. The house itself is wonderful. I felt like I was at the right place. And then I met Erik and Nilda. You can also feel a powerful energy coming from them, it’s like they have been choosing by the gods to help people, and they’re doing it so well. They are the nicest people and I felt like I was in good care during my journey over there. The food is incredible and so natural, Nilda is such great cook. As for the experience of the Ayahuasca, I had 2 ceremonies. The first one was an introduction, it was very intense and physical. The second one was my epiphany, the ayahuasca changed my life that night, it showed me so much about myself and the world that it changed my point of view about life and my future forever. I will be forever grateful for everything that I saw that night. During the ceremony the presence of Erik and Nilda is very heartwarming, they’re controlling the energy and the spirits so well that without them I don’t know if my experience would’ve been the same. The next day after the ceremony we all have a meeting with Erik one on one and he guides us trough the experience of the night before and it helps a lot to understand the meaning and the purpose of what we saw. In general I have one word for my journey at Sapan Inka: Grateful ! My life has changed drastically since then and I could never go back to the old version of me after everything I saw and experienced over there. I recommend to everyone that need to open their mind and their heart to have this beautiful, sometime painful, experience. It is necessary,. If you feel the call of The Ayahuasca, don’t hesitate and Sapan Inka is the place to go. Thank you Erik and Nilda
