Best Ayahuasca Retreat

Which Ayahuasca retreat is the best? Well, it depends on what your criteria are, so here are the best in each category:

Highest Rated on AyaAdvisors: Spirit Vine

With a solid 5-star average from 254 review – which is really impressive since it’s normal to have at least a few people that are dissatisfied with you, no matter how good you are – Spirit Vine currently holds this impressive record.


Most Affordable Ayahuasca Retreat: Gaia Sagrada

Gaia Sagrada Ayahuasca 6

To be honest, “most affordable” is very hard to judge because there are so many variables that it makes an apples-to-apples comparison rather difficult. But based on the number of nights, number of ceremonies, and lowest-priced options, Gaia seems to provide the most affordable options.


Rated #1 in Europe: Avalon

Avalon Ayahuasca Retreat

Here’s another retreat center that has somehow managed a solid 5-star review out of 77 reviews at the time of writing this article, and they offer a very broad range of plant medicines (about 7 of them). And being located in Spain, they are one of very few retreat centers that we’re aware of in Europe. So for our European friends, we’re glad Avalon exists as a good option for them to choose from.


Rated #1 in Cusco, Peru: Sapan Inka

Sapan Inka has been a long time member of the site, and maintains an impressive reputation. They seem to cater toward smaller retreat groups, which some might find appealing, and they also help organize trips to Machu Picchu which is a nice bonus. Eric – who helps organize the whole thing – is also known for his work in the field of psychology, which could be a very beneficial set of skills to offer as a retreat facilitator.


Those are the best of the best at the moment, but there are many glowing examples of amazing retreat centers on the site. And we invite you to check more of them out here.

You may also want to search by location.
