Taking ayahuasca in Peru. What is the best way? |
I am intending to go to Peru and take the hallucinogen Ayahuasca to experience visions and learn from them. I look on the internet and there are a few places that offer retreats to do this they seem expensive, are they worth it? Or should I simply show up in Iquitos and hire the services of an independent shaman? Or should I go well off the gringo trail and take the long journey to Huancabamba to get the right shaman for Ayahuasca? I would have 2 weeks in peru to get this done, is this long enough or should I take more time? I have read many books on Ayahuasca and can see how the natives are very much correct when they describe it as a teacher plant. I would be looking to have a very meaningful experience with Ayahuasca that would provide insights into myself, this world and beyond.
If you are knowledgeable on these matters, what do you think?
If you've never heard of Ayahuasca I recommend that you google and watch "The man who drank the universe" to understand this subject better.

Hello
I lived with a shamen outside Iquitos and it was an amazing experience. I was in Peru for longer than 2 weeks though and had time to build up a relationship with the shamen.
There are people in Peru who could help you but it would be helpful if you can speak spanish.
I also took san pedro in Huancabamba but have to say the route is dangerous and I didnt get as vivid visions with this than with ayahuasca.
It is a brilliant experience but better on the body if you do not drink alcohol and eat much before the ceremony!
Suerte and if it is right for you to take it you will meet the right people to guide you. |

Wow! Have just watched the video. Very interesting. Will certainly be doing some reading up/checking online on it.
Would also be very interested in trying it. Seems quite amazing!
Sorry as I am not knowledgeable I can't offer much advice other than as much local information as possible is necessary, and for that you would need a trusted source. I guess that was the advantage of the group in the video. It wasn't a scam. It was the real thing.
The downside obviously is the expense. But if you had more time, it's probable that you could come across a shaman who was the real thing.
Best of luck! |

Two weeks doesn't seem a very long time to me, to sort it all out from scratch. |

My wifes says you can do it by yourself or in a group. She says the most important thing is the shaman who is guiding you. He needs to be a longtime shaman who's ancestors were shamans. She said you need to follow the diet and restrictions given by the shaman.
good luck and watch out for the shysters |
