Welcome to Lighthouse! Ayahuasca. We are honored to accompany you as you begin a journey of mindfulness, healing, and inner transformation.

Nestled in the heart of the Amazon rainforest near Iquitos, we work in close partnership with the Shipibo communities who have protected this sacred knowledge for generations.

​

We offer Ayahuasca, optional Kambo and Hapé ceremonies, jungle excursions, trips to Monkey Island, as well as dedicated Preparation and Integration weeks.

Your safety comes first

Ayahuasca is powerful medicine and isn't right for everyone. Before we confirm your place, you fill in a medical form about your health, mental health history and medications, and we read every one.

​

Some medicines, such as antidepressants, react dangerously with Ayahuasca, so we go through this with you before you travel. During every ceremony our facilitators stay sober and look after the group. Our staff are trained in first aid, and the nearest hospital is 10 minutes away by our speedboat.

​

Please read our health and safety questions before you book.

Guided by Experienced Shipibo Healers

Our Shipibo shamans bring years of ceremonial experience and generations of ancestral wisdom. They guide each Ayahuasca ceremony with compassion, integrity, and deep care. Through these sacred traditions you are invited to reconnect with yourself, with nature, and with the timeless wisdom of the Amazon.
