Caya Shobo: Authentic Shipibo Ayahuasca & Master Plant Dieta Retreat
Caya Shobo is dedicated to providing profound, personalized healing in an intimate setting limited to no more than 12 guests.
Located near Iquitos, Peru, Caya Shobo is a beautiful healing sanctuary of flowering gardens and medicinal plants. It is one of the few Western-run retreat centers officially endorsed by the Coshikox (Shipibo Conibo Xetebo Tribal Council) for the outstanding quality of our medicine, our adherence to the Shipibo Dieta tradition, and advanced master healers.
Considering a Retreat with Us?
Choosing the right plant medicine path is a deeply personal step. If you have questions about the process, safety, or suitability for your healing, we invite you to book a private consultation call with a Caya Shobo facilitator before applying.
What to Expect
In a 12-day retreat, you will enter an intensive process of deep cleansing, self-reflection, and restoration guided by authentic, high-level Shipibo Onánya (master shaman healers) and caring Western facilitators.
- Up to 8 Ayahuasca Ceremonies: Intimate night ceremonies tailored to your unique physical, mental, and spiritual needs.
- Personalized Master Plant Dieta: Receive a custom-prescribed plant treatment to deepen your connection with ancestral plant wisdom.
