Retiros de ayahuasca en la Amazonía peruana: programas de 3 y 5 días desde Iquitos
Estos son los retiros de ayahuasca de Amazon Wildlife Tours: dos programas en una cabaña privada dentro de la selva, cerca de Nauta y a un traslado en bote de Iquitos, con ceremonias nocturnas guiadas por sanadores tradicionales (maestros vegetalistas). Los retiros de ayahuasca en Iquitos exigen preparación y una evaluación de salud previa; no son un tour de naturaleza. La agencia consta en el Directorio Nacional y Regional de Prestadores de Servicios Turísticos Calificados (constancia N.° 183-2025-GRL-GERCETUR). El precio se consulta por WhatsApp. Información verificada en octubre de 2026.
Qué es un retiro de ayahuasca y cómo funciona
Un retiro de ayahuasca es una experiencia de medicina tradicional amazónica guiada por un sanador tradicional. Combina ceremonias nocturnas, una dieta previa, acompañamiento y tiempo de integración en una cabaña dentro de la selva. No es un tratamiento médico ni un tour de naturaleza: es una vivencia introspectiva, con apoyo emocional y espiritual, que pide preparación y buena salud. En Perú, el Instituto Nacional de Cultura declaró en 2008 Patrimonio Cultural de la Nación los conocimientos y usos tradicionales de la ayahuasca de las comunidades nativas amazónicas (fuente: Andina). Los organiza Amazon Wildlife Tours, empresa familiar que opera desde Iquitos desde 2014. Si buscas naturaleza sin componente ceremonial, revisa los tours en Iquitos.
Punto de salida
Te recogemos por la mañana en el aeropuerto o en tu hotel de Iquitos. Desde allí te trasladamos en bote al centro de retiro.
Ceremonias
Las ceremonias de ayahuasca son nocturnas. Las guía un sanador tradicional (maestro vegetalista) y el equipo te acompaña durante toda la noche.
Alojamiento
Duermes en una cabaña privada en la selva. El alojamiento es rústico y las comidas siguen la dieta del retiro.
Evaluación de salud
Antes de reservar es obligatorio completar un formulario de salud confidencial. El primer día hay además una evaluación final y una entrevista individual.
Cómo elegir entre los mejores retiros de ayahuasca en Iquitos
Entre los retiros de ayahuasca en Perú no existe uno mejor para todos: la elección correcta depende de tu salud, de cuánto tiempo tienes y de cuánta profundidad buscas. Antes de reservar con cualquier operador, compara estos puntos.
Pregunta siempre quién guía la ceremonia, cómo se evalúa tu salud y qué incluye el precio. Nosotros lo publicamos: sanadores tradicionales, un formulario de salud confidencial y el detalle de lo que sí y no incluye. El número de participantes por ceremonia se confirma al cotizar.
Cuántos días elegir
Con 3 días haces una introducción: una ceremonia y una segunda opcional, según la evaluación del equipo. Con 5 días hay tres ceremonias, un día sin ceremonia y más tiempo de integración.
Para quién es
Para quien busca una experiencia introspectiva guiada, acepta seguir la dieta previa, goza de buena salud física y mental y asume las condiciones de la selva: humedad, calor, mosquitos y ausencia de conectividad.
Cuándo no te conviene
Si buscas naturaleza y fauna sin ceremonia, elige los tours Pacaya Samiria o un tour Full Day. Tampoco es para ti si tienes alguna de las condiciones de la sección de preparación.
Cómo se fija el precio
El precio se consulta por WhatsApp porque varía según el número de participantes y la fecha. Lo que incluye cada retiro está en la sección de precios.

Pacaya Samiria with Amazon wildlife tours. A great experience in Amazon forest. The 4 day 3 nights tour to Pacaya Samiria with Amazon wildlife tours went excellent. The local guide Herman was of excellent knowledge about the all animals and plants we could possibly meet during the trip. He was very keen for us to see as much as possible and did his outmost. Special thanks to the travel agency that helped us with the boat to our next destination Leticia. Securing the spots and putting up the hammocks. I can really recommend this agency.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Great trip Our 2D/1N Amazon rainforest trip was a fantastic experience, made even better by our guide, Allen. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and made every part of the trip enjoyable. We explored the rainforest, spotted wildlife, and even tried a bit of piranha fishing, which was a fun addition to the adventure. We also loved all the boat roads and spotting the birds. Everything was well-organized, with free transfers from the airport and we always felt safe and comfortable. A great short trip for anyone wanting a memorable taste of the Amazon!Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

One of the Best Ever One of the best tours of my life.. we had 4 days booked with them. Chori our boat captain. Mari our chef and Lezer our guide... Best trio we had for 4 days.. we did more than we thought, they went above and beyond to make sure we see enough of the jungle, find spots to see wildlife. They were flexible with schedule and we went on night as well as day hikes..always ready to go again day and night. This was one of the best experience in my life and made better with this terrific team.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

¡Excelente experiencia con un gran equipo! Hicimos el tour a Pacaya Samiria de 4 días/3 noches y tuvimos una experiencia increíble. El equipo de guiado que nos acompañó (Lisser, Mary y Chorri) fueron de primera. Tuvimos aventuras desde las 5:30am hasta las 8pm sin parar, cada una mejor que la anterior y con mucho respeto y admiración por la selva. Todos los guías conocen a la perfección la flora y fauna presente en la zona, tuvimos la oportunidad de observar aves constantemente y de encontrar ranas, serpientes y escorpiones en nuestras caminatas nocturnas. Es una experiencia que recomiendo definitivamente para cualquier persona interesada en la naturaleza y aventura.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Amazing! My experience with Wildlife Amazon Tours was absolutely incredible from start to finish. I stayed for 3 nights and 4 days, and honestly, I wish I could have stayed even longer. A huge part of what made this trip so special was Alan. He is unbelievably knowledgeable about wildlife and the Amazon ecosystem—it felt like every walk, boat ride, or excursion turned into a fascinating learning experience. What really stood out, though, was how much he genuinely cared about making sure we had the best possible time. He went out of his way again and again to tailor the experience, point out hidden wildlife, and make every moment memorable. The food was another highlight of the trip. Every meal was fresh, delicious, and thoughtfully prepared. It added so much comfort after long days of exploring, and there was always something new and satisfying to enjoy. The entire trip was also extremely well planned. From activities to timing, everything flowed smoothly without ever feeling rushed. It struck a perfect balance between adventure, relaxation, and discovery. Overall, this was an unforgettable experience. If you’re considering an Amazon tour, I can’t recommend Wildlife Amazon Tours enough—especially if you get the chance to explore with Alan. I’d go back in a heartbeat.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Amazon wildlife and cultural experiences I want to start by saying that exploring the Amazon River was by far one of the most fabulous experiences I've had. The lodge offered a perfect mix of adventure and comfort. Wildlife sightings were amazing, we saw sloths hanging in the trees, baby caymans at night and even pink dolphins. We had the chance to swim in the river along the dolphins and it was magical. Our guide Allen was outstanding; he was always responsive and knew everything about the jungle. He personally took care of every part of our trip, making it effortless and completely enjoyable. Because of him, we were able to enjoy every second of our stay and not worry about other things. Allen made this trip unforgettable.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Incredible We spent three days in the jungle with Allen, and the place was absolutely incredible—far beyond anything I had imagined. We explored the Amazon River, where we encountered fascinating local wildlife. We fished for piranhas and even swam with dolphins—truly unforgettable experiences. I also had the chance to participate in an ayahuasca ceremony. Allen arranged for a shaman from a nearby village to lead the ritual. I’ve had psychedelic experiences before, but this was something entirely unique. The presence of the shaman, the atmosphere he created, and the strength of the brew itself made it an unbelievably powerful experience. I highly recommend this trip—not only for those who want to explore the jungle, but also for anyone seeking a deeper, more intense experience.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Just amazing! Got a recommendation from a guy we met in a hostel to go on this Tour. We didn't do to much other research and just booked the three day tour. Best Decicion we ever made!Allen our guide and owner of the companie is an great guy, he loves what he is doing and his English is excellent!The different activities, the Lodge we stayed and the really amazing food we were served, didn't left any wishes open. Also there is a starlink connection in the lodge, so we were able go online when needed.For the first day it was just the two of us and Allen. We basicly had a privat lodge and tour. The second und third day another couple joined us. So no big group and incognito feeling. Very personal and individual premium experience. We saw many different wildlife and enjoined the wild nature.Highly recommend to book this tour. We will remember this trip for ever. Thank you Allen!Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Couldn’t imagine doing Iquitos/the Amazon any other way My friend and I were looking for a day trip to explore the Amazon River and rainforest given our limited time in Iquitos. She found Amazon Wildlife Tours from reviews on Google and Trip Advisor and we’re so glad we did; I can’t imagine having done Iquitos any other way.Allen was very responsive and asked what we wanted to see and customized the experience for us. Our first day, we went on a tour of the Amazon River. On the way up, we stopped at Fundo Pedrito where we saw some wildlife, and at a lodge where we did a rainforest hike (we saw several species of monkeys, a sloth, and some birds) and had an amazing lunch. On the way back to Iquitos, we went piranha fishing (my friend caught 3!) and dolphin watching. It was exactly what we wanted to experience. Allen inquired about our plans for the next day and offered to help us with our planned excursions (to go to the Butterfly House and see Belen Market) and suggested we also visit the Bora tribe. We hadn’t realized we would need a boat to get to the Butterfly House. We were iffy on visiting the Bora tribe because we were concerned about trivializing an indigenous people. But Allen recommended it and it was a great experience and didn’t feel that way at all. He has a great relationship with the tribe and the experience was respectful of the tribe and their customs. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Allen is extremely knowledgeable, having worked for years in various tourism-related jobs around Iquitos. His english is impeccable. He pays attention to what you’re looking to experience and works with you to tailor the experience.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

From a short city tour to the Belem market, to a canoe trip on the Amazon and the Rio Nanay—everything was perfect and competent.

Great Experience in the Amazon We just got back to the US from Peru - Allen the rest of the team gave us a great experience in the Amazon.We had recommendations from a local friend for the rest of our experiences in Peru, our stay in the Amazon was the only one we found on our own. So we were a little nervous flying into Iquitos going off online reviews. We were met at the airport by a trusted cab driver known to the team. We were then taken to the river and the adventure began! It is a small operation - it was just me, my wife, and 8yo son for the trip to the lodge, along with Allen and Julio the pilot of the boat (although others were at the lodge). They found us some grey and then pink river dolphins, then we went swimming in the Amazon. They were always flexible in what activities we did when, planning each day to fit what made sense based on the weather and our preferences. My son saw so much wildlife, held a caiman, caught and ate piranha, swam with dolphins. It was an amazing experience.On our last day our flight was late in the evening, so Allen helped us to spend some time in Iquitos rather than wait in the airport (Iquitos has a beautiful boulevard along the river). He held our bags for us and also went out of his way to make sure we had transportation to get to the airport on time. Full service!At the lodge the food was very good. There was plenty of filtered water available for us to fill our water bottles (the only time we found this in Peru). Everyone was very friendly and accommodating, particularly to our 8yo who had lots of questions and frequently wanted to feed the chickens. Highly recommended.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.

We had the BEST time on our 3 day, 2 night tour. Piero was the most incredible guide, knew all the best spots, and had answers to all of our questions. The communication with the owner was excellent. They provided PLENTY of delicious food at every meal. Highlights of our trip were catching 11 piranhas and visiting monkey island. We also did several walks through the jungle to observe biodiversity and a couple of canoe trips on the lake behind the lodge. We cannot recommend this experience and this company more! So thankful that we chose them for this once in a lifetime experience. Make sure to bring bugspray :)Posted on Google![]()

We absolutely loved our 4-day trip to Pacaya Samiria with Amazon Wildlife Tours! Allen was an incredible guide with so much knowledge about the wildlife and the national park. He was so organised and planned out amazing days for us, making sure we got the most out of every moment. We saw an incredible amount of wildlife and had the perfect mix of adventure deep in the jungle while still being comfortable at the lodges. The beds were comfy, the food was fantastic, and we were so well looked after. Breakfast, lunch and dinner were all delicious, and we were well fed throughout the entire trip. Having access to showers and toilets at the lodge was also a huge bonus after long days exploring. We also had a local guide from the village near the lodge who was amazing. His ability to spot wildlife and guide us through the jungle was unbelievable. His knowledge of the area and the animals made the experience even more special. We honestly couldn’t recommend this tour enough. Our only regret is that we didn’t book more days! Thank you so much to Allen and the whole team for such an unforgettable experience. We would absolutely do it again!Posted on Google![]()

Hicimos el full day de la Isla de Monos y fue una experiencia excelente. Desde el momento en que nos recogieron en el hotel hasta que nos dejaron de regreso, todo el proceso estuvo muy bien organizado. Todo el staff fue muy amable, puntual y atento, lo que hizo que el tour fuera muy cómodo y agradable. Nuestro guía fue el señor Armando Meléndez, una excelente persona. Más allá de explicarnos minuciosamente cada detalle, tuvo la paciencia de responder cada una de mis preguntas. Lo aprecié muchísimo porque, como persona curiosa, sé que hacer muchas preguntas a veces puede llegar a abrumar a la gente.

Our trip to the Amazon in Iquitos, Peru was seriously unforgettable. We saw monkeys, sloths, colorful birds, amazing plants, and even grey and pink river dolphins, all surrounded by incredible jungle scenery. The guide was super friendly and knew so much, sunset boat rides on the Amazon River felt magical. The lodge was really comfortable, the food was great, fresh and tasty, and falling asleep to the sounds of the jungle was such a cool experience. The whole trip was adventurous, relaxing, and eye-opening. I’d definitely recommend visiting the Amazon in Peru if you love nature and a little adventure.+6Posted on Google![]()

The local tour guide named Ermán was exceptional, always eager to show the animals spots and taught to do some sounds to call them 🌴 Swimming with dolphins at sunset was incredible, thanks to Erman for all the tips and sharing a lot about his community and growing in Pacaya. Juanita cooked amaaaazing! She prepared vegetarian food very nicely and wasn’t expecting such variety of dishes and beverages 🤤.

Hicimos el tour a Pacaya Samiria de 4 días/3 noches y tuvimos una experiencia increíble. El equipo de guiado que nos acompañó (Lisser, Mary y Chorri) fue de primera. Tuvimos aventuras desde las 5:30am hasta las 8pm sin parar, cada una mejor que la anterior y con mucho respeto y admiración por la selva. Todos los guías conocen a la perfección la flora y fauna presente en la zona, tuvimos la oportunidad de observar aves constantemente y de encontrar ranas, serpientes y escorpiones en nuestras caminatas nocturnas. Es una experiencia que recomiendo definitivamente para cualquier persona interesada en la naturaleza y aventura.+4

Preguntas frecuentes sobre los retiros de ayahuasca
¿Qué es un retiro de ayahuasca?
Es una experiencia de medicina tradicional amazónica guiada por un sanador tradicional, con ceremonias nocturnas, dieta previa, acompañamiento e integración en una cabaña dentro de la selva. No es un tour de naturaleza ni un tratamiento médico.
¿Cuántas ceremonias hay y qué diferencia hay entre el retiro de 3 y el de 5 días?
El de 3 días incluye hasta 2 ceremonias, la segunda opcional según la evaluación del equipo. El de 5 días incluye 3 ceremonias, un día sin ceremonia y más tiempo de integración. Mira la ficha del retiro de 3 días o la del de 5 días.
¿Cuánto cuesta un retiro de ayahuasca?
El precio se consulta por WhatsApp, porque puede variar según el número de participantes y la fecha. No publicamos una tarifa fija.
¿Qué incluye y qué no incluye el retiro?
Incluye traslado de ida y vuelta desde Iquitos, cabaña privada, comidas especiales basadas en plantas amazónicas, las ceremonias de ayahuasca, un ritual de baño floral, apoyo emocional y espiritual, agua purificada y tés de hierbas. No incluye vuelos, propinas ni gastos personales.
¿Quién guía las ceremonias?
Las guían sanadores tradicionales (maestros vegetalistas) con experiencia en medicina tradicional amazónica, apoyados por un equipo profesional durante toda la estadía.
¿Necesito experiencia previa?
No es obligatoria, pero sí debes completar el formulario de salud, seguir la dieta previa y las indicaciones del equipo. Si es tu primera vez, coméntalo al reservar.
¿Quién no debería participar?
No se recomienda en casos de epilepsia, problemas cardíacos, hipertensión, trastornos psiquiátricos (incluidos antecedentes de esquizofrenia, trastorno bipolar o psicosis) ni embarazo. Tampoco si tomas medicación psiquiátrica sin consulta médica previa.
¿Es seguro participar en un retiro de ayahuasca?
Ninguna experiencia con ayahuasca está libre de riesgos. Por eso hay un formulario de salud confidencial antes de reservar, una evaluación final y una entrevista individual el primer día, y criterios de exclusión claros. Consulta con tu médico antes de decidir.
¿Cómo debo prepararme?
Tres días antes evita carne roja, frituras, azúcar, sal, alcohol y cafeína, y no consumas drogas. Prefiere frutas, verduras, arroz, quinoa y agua. Evita también la actividad sexual al menos 3 días antes y después del retiro.
¿Qué debo llevar?
Ropa cómoda, linterna, repelente de insectos natural, botella de agua reutilizable, artículos de higiene personal y, opcionalmente, un objeto simbólico para tu altar personal.
¿Cómo se llega al centro de retiro desde Iquitos?
Te recogemos por la mañana en el aeropuerto o en tu hotel y te trasladamos en bote hasta el centro de retiro, en las cercanías de Nauta. Regresas a Iquitos hacia las 2:00 p.m. del último día.
¿Cómo reservo un retiro de ayahuasca?
Escríbenos por WhatsApp al +51 946828733 o por correo a info@amazonwildlifetours.com con tus fechas y el número de personas. Antes de reservar debes completar un formulario de salud confidencial. Te enviamos el precio y las fechas disponibles.
¿Puedo cancelar o cambiar la fecha del retiro?
Sí. Con más de 48 horas de aviso devolvemos el 100 % de lo pagado, salvo impuestos, cargos bancarios y comisiones de transacción. Con menos tiempo no hay reembolso, pero puedes reprogramar una vez en 12 meses. El detalle está en la política de cancelación.
¿Cuántas personas participan en cada ceremonia?
No publicamos un número máximo de participantes. Pregúntalo por WhatsApp al cotizar, porque el precio también depende del tamaño del grupo.
