Ayahuasca Retreats in Peru with Integration
Our Ayahuasca Retreats in Peru with Integration are guided by native Amazonian shamans and supported by psychological care in the heart of the Amazon rainforest.
Rooted in Amazonian Healing Experience
Takinuna was founded through the shared path of native Amazonian healers devoted to the work with plant medicine in the Peruvian Amazon. Its roots lie in lived experience within this tradition, and that foundation continues to shape the work today.
Today, that continuity remains present in the guidance of Cesar Vasquez, whose path with ayahuasca and other master plants has been shaped through decades of practice in the Amazon.
A retreat setting rooted in tradition, held with care, and supported through psychological integration.

The Role of Amazonian Shamans at Takinuna
At Takinuna, Amazonian shamans guide the ceremonial work and help shape the retreat process at every stage. Their presence remains central throughout the experience, holding the work within the tradition from which it comes.
Their role extends beyond leading ceremonies. Throughout the retreat, they accompany what emerges, respond to each participant’s process, and help sustain continuity in the work over time.
They are also skilled in traditional plant medicine and healing practices, including the use of medicinal plants and treatments that may be offered according to each person’s needs. Explore Shamanic Healing in Peru.
Psychological Integration During the Retreat Process
Integration as a Core Part of the Process
At Takinuna, psychological integration is not treated as something separate from the retreat. It is part of the experience itself, offering participants space to reflect on what emerges while the work is still unfolding.
These sessions support participants in relating their experience to their personal history, emotional patterns, and present process. In this way, integration helps give greater clarity and meaning to what is lived in ceremony.
Rather than waiting until the retreat has ended, this support is woven into the process itself, helping participants remain more grounded as the experience continues to unfold. Learn About Integration.
A Safe and Supported Setting for the Retreat Process
At Takinuna, our Ayahuasca Retreats in Peru with Integration offer care from the very beginning. Preparation, close attention, small-group support, and integration all come together to create a grounded and supportive setting for deep work with plant medicine.
How Care Is Held Throughout the Retreat
Before arrival, we take time to understand each participant’s situation, readiness, and current process. This helps us approach the retreat with greater care and clarity from the beginning.
During the retreat, the group remains small, allowing for close attention and continuous presence from the team. Care is present not only in ceremony, but also in the spaces between ceremonies, during moments of difficulty, and throughout the integration process.
This creates a setting where participants can feel more supported, more oriented, and better able to stay present with what the retreat brings forward.
What This Care Includes
- A personal conversation before the retreat
- Review of health, medication, and readiness
- Preparation guidance before arrival
- A retreat guide and personal journal
- A small-group setting with close attention
- Continuous presence of the team
- Ceremony guidance from Amazonian shamans
- Psychological integration during the retreat
