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.

Sitting here two years later – planning Honeymoon with my future wife and as part of it want to do my first retreat since then, again at Sapan Inka. The experience still feels very close and it was the start of a transformation process that eventually would bring together the different pieces of my life (and ad some missing ones as well). I see positive effects of it daily.

I can highly recommend Sapan Inka and say that the entire experience had a very positive impact on my life.
I choose Sapan Sinka because they have a lot of experience with Ayahuascua but are also well versed in western psychology, I strongly appreciated their offer to have online integration sessions and was very glad to make use of them when questions arised well after the Ceremony.
From the start I had a lot of trust in Eric/Nilda and I felt that they believe in their cause and really want to help people. After the ceremonies Eric never drew hasty conclusions but rather just listened and explained what outcomes he has seen with other participants.
As for how it has changed my life: Eric will be the first to point out that taking Ayahuascua is not the solution but only the starting point – he will emphasize on the importance of integration after the experience.
Taking Ayahuasca at Sapan Inka has made many things clear to me and it helps me everyday in being my best self – thank you for that!

April 5, 2024 at 10:42 amI participated in the 6 day retreat with Sapan Inka and it was extremely transformative for me. It was my first time trying Ayahuasca and I got way more out of it that I ever could have imagined. The retreat center was very serene and Erik and Nilda are very nice people.
In my one and only ayahuasca trip it took me quite a long time for it to kick in and it was close to when the ceremony was over. Nilda and Erik stayed with me for several hours after, and it was nice to be supported during that time.
We also went to Machu Picchu one day and Erik and Nilda set us up with all the travel and transportation in addition to a great guide which was wonderful.
All in all a great experience.

April 4, 2024 at 8:15 pmI did the 3 day retreat with Erik and Nilda and it was an experience I’ll never forget. We were a small group what I really liked, because Erik would spend a lot of time with each person and advise him according his personal needs. Everything was great starting with accommodation, amazing healthy food prepared by Nilda and finish with the ceremony. This is something that everyone should try in his life. The way they lead the the ceremony makes me to want go back do it again. My wife did it at another place with 20+ people and now I want her to go to Eric and Nilda and experience the difference. And the most important in a less then a year after the ceremony I’m experiencing amazing changes in my life that I never expected to happen!

April 1, 2024 at 9:14 amI take a deep breath before writing this because I want to do justice to the experience I had at Sapan Inka.
Before travelling I did some light research and reading, completed the thorough questionnaire for this retreat, and spoke with Erik to ask any questions that remained about the retreat. I felt ready, calm and happy about the plan.
From arrival everything moved in to place to open up the full experience of the retreat. Every day and every moment felt comfortable and intentional. The structure and intent which Erik and Nilda have created welcomes and embraces you to let go and allow yourself to succumb to the experience.
I felt supported and comfortable throughout, which was especially important during points where some challenges arose for me. Integration sessions with Erik were extremely insightful. We spoke after the retreat and follow up resources were shared which again really helped with the continuation of my journey.
I could go on but I will stop here and summarise that I would whole heartedly recommend Sapan Inka to all of my closest friends. Erik and Nilda have created a beautiful, welcoming space and I am truly grateful to them that I was able to experience it for the days I was there and in my heart afterwards.

April 1, 2024 at 5:50 amI have spent 5 days with Erik and Nilda (and their rescued 2 dogs Negra and Laika and cat) back in October. Words alone cannot describe what a wonderful experience it was. Erik and Nilda are truly special. They are deeply kind and genuine and made me feel at home. I can’t wait to join them again in their new home and get to see Negra (the black dog) I have become attached to and vice versa.
Peace and Love
