Sapan Inka Ayahuasca Retreat Center

I chose Sapan Inka to be the place for me to experience Ayahuasca for the first time because I am wary of places that host 20 - 30 + participants. I did not feel something like that would be appropriate for my first experience. Sapan Inka's maximum amount of people they host is 6 or 7. I spoke with Erik, the main guide and organizer, beforehand via Zoom. He gained my trust and was very responsive. Also, from the price and all the fantastic reviews, I was convinced that this was a genuine place of healing that was not motivated by profit or commercial success.

One great way to know if you'll click with a center might be to take a look with their negative reviews, and see how they handled them. Were they responsive? Did they deal with the situation in a reasonable and fair way?

I did the seven-day retreat here, and I'm so glad my assumptions were correct. I've only been back home to normal life for a week now, but the change in my life has been palpable.

By some stroke of fate, I was the only attendee when I arrived during one of the busiest seasons. But no expenses or services were spared for the whole duration of my stay. They were happy to take me in, treat me like family, and show me all this medicine had to offer. I drank with a Shibipo priest from the jungle, took part in a traditional blessing from an Andean priest, and experienced perhaps one of the most unique and inspiring musical performances from their Healing Sound Session on San Pedro Day.

The schedule was all planned out and well organized. The food was modest but delicious and exactly what was needed. After each ceremony, Erik provided invaluable psychological and scientific insight into how to interpret my experiences, and he outlined a path on how to continue my development after the retreat ended through local resources in my hometown, literature, and lifestyle changes.

Now I am back to my normal life for several weeks and still buzzing with high vibrations, although I can feel it waning slowly. However, my mind, body, and spirit feel clean, and my energy and lifestyle have changed. I lost about 10 lbs, and I can feel this renewed energy reverberating to those around me in real tangible ways and results. I am so grateful for the experience and glad I did it at Sapan Inka.

I had a wonderful 5 day spiritual retreat here, wonderful owners are highly ethical/-focused on spiritual and therapeutic journeys in small groups. Comfortable facilities with warm beds and delicious vegan meals. This place is very well run, focuses the n indigenous reciprocity, deep spiritual connections.

The ideal place to experience the traditional ways of the Inca for healing therapy with herb medicine. Erik is a great Shaman with education of western medicine. Combined this is essential for western tourists like me. His wife Nilda is a warm soul with great knowledge in herbs and plants and spreads a warm and welcome female energy. I so enjoyed my stay and learned the lessons I came here for. I highly recommend this place.

Hi my name is Stephen.

I went to Sapan in February if last year.

I just lost my wife and was wondering looking for something. I had been researching Ayahuasca for many years.

I found Sapan and I was drawn to it right away.

I waited a while to review because wanted to see how my life changed.

Erik asked me what do expect. I said just peice of mind and a little closer.

I found it with my journey there. He said it will not solve all your problems you know that right. I said I know.

The love I got from Erik and Nilda was amazing and there Newphew also. Great kid.

I went in broken and came out better but real life still happens so it help me ground myself here back home.

I will be back to see them one day and can't wait.

I love you all and thank you for helping me with my journey.
Erik and Nilda. And that great little man keep drawing and all the things you want.

Stephen O'Rawe.

10/10 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Erik & Nilda are incredible and led a series of amazing ceremonies over the course of the 3 days I was there. The retreat house is stunning, and they welcomed me with open arms, making me feel comfortable right from the start. My experience here will last a lifetime. 10/10!

Thank you for the amazing experience. It was by far probably the best 10 star initiation experience one could hope for to work with this medicine. These two are VERY professional and generous with their practice, meals and accommodations. Will return. Wow... just WOW

Beautiful place to go if you want to explore the traditional way! Many thanks to e&n for being so kind and understanding. We wish you all the best, most kind regards g&k

Una experiencia hermosa, super sanadora, Erik y Nilda tienen mucha calidad humana, buenos anfitriones y preocupándose por cada uno de nosotros, tomándose su tiempo para escucharnos después de cada sesión.

Es complejo resumir en pocas palabras la GRAN experiencia que viví gracias a Nilda y Erik, dos personas de tanto una vocación como un corazón enormes.
En un ambiente lleno de amor, acompañan a la perfección la búsqueda de autoconocimiento y sentido universal de aquellos exploradores interesados en profundizar…
¡Eternamente gracias!

Me gustó muy tranquilo,camine varios quilometros sin qué nadie me molestara solo Vi montañas, flores, río naturaleza pura se puede, pasear a pies, en auto o motos.acá es una zona rural, por lo tanto hay plantaciones de frutillas, maíz y algunos vegetales. Le dicen turismo rural.

No deberían dejar sola a la gente bajo los efectos que son larguísimos... nos mandaron a dormir cuando apenas eramos capaces de subir las escaleras...
