Selva Madre is a family owned and operated center. Our goal is to offer you a unique Ayahuasca experience with the utmost professionalism and loving care. The family atmosphere provided at Selva Madre is unparalleled offering you the opportunity to benefit from a long standing generational lineage of healers in the Rimachi Family. With a loving heart and warm embrace we welcome our guests from all walks of life with varying spiritual and cultural backgrounds. We make every effort to make you feel at home as another member of our every growing family in a safe and peaceful environment.

Selva Madre welcomes guests from all over the world and is considered one of the best places in the world for healing therapy and an authentic Ayahuasca spiritual retreat. Don Luis Rimachi has been a practicing Shaman for over 40 years in local native communities. He is dedicated to healing and guides guests from all corners of the world to achieve positive transformation and begin a new path on their spiritual journey. The Ayahuasca is brewed on site and is made with no additives. We have a strict policy that ONLY experienced Curanderos following a strict Dieta brew our Ayahuasca in order to incorporate the purest and highest energies into the medicine.

The Ayahuasca Ceremonies

The Ayahuasca experience is a permanently transformative process on all levels to include the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual parts of our being.  It helps reveal our higher self and facilitates deep healing.  Our safety protocols are important in order to offer the best experience possible. Unlike other centers that propose five ceremonies or more per week, we feel four ceremonies is the perfect amount per ten day retreat.  Ceremonies are held every other day with a day of rest, processing, and consultation in between. Ayahuasca demands 48 hours to be entirely processed by the body and for its teachings to be assimilated. Doing more ceremonies in a short time is definitely not recommended. We feel a 10 day retreat with 4 ceremonies is ideal for most people, but we offer a range of 2 days to multiple years (for apprenticeships).

Detoxing & Purging

Purging is a central element in Amazonian traditional medicine, the purge is provoked by Ayahuasca in order to release physical, emotional and non physical energies that you may have carried since the beginning of your life which have caused health issues, karmic blockages, and emotional disorders. By the end of your stay you will be cleansed from all toxins and energetic charges and have a final consultation with the Shaman.

Accommodation

You will be staying in a private traditional Amazonian jungle bungalow with cement foundation.  They are comfortable, spacious, and protected from mosquitoes by screens. Each room contains a double bed and private toilet and shower.

Food

The food is very important to us here at Selva Madre.  In order to have the best experience during your retreat we serve fresh and natural local food. The meals are healthy and balanced.  We accommodate individuals with specific dietary needs.

Transport

The transport is provided between Selva Madre and Iquitos Airport or your hotel. Selva Madre is located at the other side of the river Nanay from Iquitos, so the journey takes approximately 1 hour from Iquitos city center including taxi and boat.
