Huachuma (San Pedro): The Path of the Open Heart
Huachuma is one of the most ancient sacred medicines of the Andes — a gentle yet profound cactus teacher that opens the heart and reconnects us with gratitude and presence.
Unlike Ayahuasca, Huachuma unfolds in daylight — walking in nature, listening with the heart, and remembering the deep love that has always been there.

Ayahuasca Healing Guided by Experienced Amazonian Shamans in Peru
Takinuna was founded and is led by native Amazonian shamans with decades of experience in plant medicine and healing practices. Their role goes far beyond leading ceremonies — they accompany every step of the journey with dedication, intuition, and ancestral knowledge.
Our shamans guide each ceremony through sacred ícaros — healing songs that direct the energy and intention of the medicine. But what truly sets them apart is their involvement beyond the ceremony. They hold personal conversations before and after, helping you understand the symbolic language of your visions.
They are also skilled vegetalistas, deeply knowledgeable in Amazonian healing plants. After ceremonies, they may recommend personalized treatments using herbal infusions, vapor baths, tree resin poultices, and other traditional remedies to support your unique healing process. Learn more.
Psychological Integration During Your Ayahuasca Retreat in Peru
Healing that Lasts: Guided Integration with Psychotherapy
The work with Ayahuasca doesn’t end after the ceremony. What truly transforms lives is the way you integrate what emerges.
At Takinuna, all our retreats include professional psychological support, led by Florencia Ferrari — a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and Art Psychotherapist — who guides participants in group integration sessions.
This allows you to understand what was revealed, process difficult emotions, and give structure and meaning to your experience — so the transformation continues long after the retreat ends.
Our approach unites ancestral wisdom with psychological care — we don’t just hold ceremonies, we hold people. Learn more.
“True healing happens when tradition meets presence.”
At Takinuna, you’re not just drinking a sacred plant — you’re being seen, supported, and guided every step of the way.
Real Stories of Transformation
Genuine experiences from those who have walked the healing path at Takinuna Healing Centre.
“I didn’t expect that my first Ayahuasca retreat in Peru experience would be just excellent. I had read many posts saying that it might be scary or evoke many traumatic experiences. At first, I was worried — but during the whole process I felt completely safe.”
— Susie Li“My name is Jose Trujano. I came seeking clarity and direction. What I found at Takinuna went far beyond expectations — healing, meaning, and a deep reconnection with myself and life.”
— Jose Trujano“I returned to my country already thinking about coming back. Takinuna is the only center in Iquitos that offers psychotherapy along with the medicine — and that changes everything. I felt respected, understood, and supported.”
— Juanma Torres“I waited a long time to find the courage. What I received was peace, beauty, and a love for life I had forgotten. Takinuna helped me remember who I am.”
