Itinerary & Schedule

 

Our daily itinerary is thoughtfully planned to provide a balanced rhythm of ceremonies, integration, nature immersion, and rest.

Our priority is always to provide the safest, most comfortable, and most meaningful experience possible while honoring the natural rhythm of the Amazon and supporting each guest's healing journey.
