Your day will begin with transportation from Quito. Around 9 am, the driver will pick you up at your hotels near the airport or at the airport. If you are staying in the center of Quito, you will have to travel to the airport on the day of the trip, from where you will drive together into the jungle to our center. The journey will take about 3 hours. Along the way, you will stop at a restaurant where you can buy lunch. Upon arrival, you can relax, unpack and check in. Then you will have an introductory meeting. We will get to know each other and talk about what awaits us in the coming days.
Cleansing with traditional Amazonian water tobacco
To best prepare you for the ayahuasca ceremony, part of the introductory process is the administration of traditional Amazonian water tobacco, which is drunk in a certain amount. This sacred drink has been used for centuries to deeply cleanse the body and mind.
Tobacco supports the release of physical and energetic blocks. It can cause purgative vomiting in some people, and it has a more subtle effect on others – but it always works throughout the body and helps create the ideal conditions for a safe and deep ceremony.
Tobacco also helps to remove very heavy energies that people sometimes carry from their daily lives. Thanks to this, participants are much better prepared for the ayahuasca work itself and we can avoid the more demanding processes during the ceremony.

You will definitely love this trip – a raft rip on the water awaits you! Depending on the number of people in the group, it will depend on whether you will go on a raft or two boats. The trip will be led by professionals who will ensure not only 100% safety, but also all the equipment – a helmet , vest, paddle, everything needed to make you feel as comfortable as possible.
You don’t need to have any previous experience. This is a safe activity suitable for all ages and I believe you will enjoy it to the fullest. And don’t be afraid of crocodiles either. They only live in stagnant water, definitely don’t expect them on the river.
In the calmer parts of the river, you can also swim during the cruise – drifting down the river in the middle of the jungle? It’s just a divine feeling! After lunch, which will take place by the river, we will then continue further along the river. Later in the afternoon we will return back to our accommodation and have dinner here.
