Ayahuasca in Peru

I had just finished a two year service in the army, which i entered straight after high school. Totally lost in direction, hating the idea of regular work, CBF with the idea of education. I went back to Australia to try an ignite an old flame. Fighting. The only thing, pretty much i knew how to do. Years and years of abusing my body, my heart and ego. 

But life as we know, had other plans. Sometimes we had to learn the hard to what those plans are.

So after a series of unfortunate events, it was time to drop the bucket, quit my job, leave my old life behind and head to the jungle.

Planning for Ayahuasca..

So in Iquitos, Peru. The Ayahuasca industry is massive. Tons of tourists from every inch of the globe, flock down to this small city on the basin of the Amazon River just to encounter the magical plant Ayahuasca in the hopes it will lead them to something more than what this life has to offer. To those who come with an open heart, it gives them exactly that.

When you land in Iquitos, which is a two hour flight from Lima (the capital of Peru), you will notice you fly across untouched jungle, no agriculture, no other towns or cities. Just pure jungle. Very Beautiful.

If you have done your research, you will also know that there are many many big and small retreats in Peru. Now I am not here to tell you why the one I am with is better than any other, but i will tell you why it is fucking awesome. Why you should definitely pay for quality, and also why it is a good idea to experience the intensity of Ayahuasca in a safe comfortable environment.

There are a lot of different people, who think that if you don't go hard core, trekking through the jungle, doing Ayahuasca with a shaman in a hut somewhere in the middle of the amazon. You won't get an authentic Ayahuasca experience.

From my experience, and my belief. That is just complete and utter bullshit.

What you need for a true Aya experience, is a

1. Powerful, good hearted Shaman
2. Your courage.

That is it.

This is also why, you want to have as much comfort and safety in the environment as possible. You do not want to be shitting your guts out, puking uncontrollably or tripping balls in an uncomfortable environmental. It will complete freak you out, ruin your trip and possibly cause you harm.

For example, in the middle of the jungle. If you are deep under the medicine and lets say a snake crawls up your pants. What the fuck will you do?

That's why it is so important to choose a place, with knowledgable westernize people, who can provide that comfort, that safety, so you don't have to worry about that shit and concentrate on yourself.

The other reason why it is better to do research, and plan ahead is because there are many wolves in sheep's clothing in Peru. They will say their uncle is a shaman, and then take you to the middle of the jungle, rob you and leave you there.

That will be an opposite experience. You do not want.

So here is pretty much all you need to know on why you should plan ahead, and pick somewhere recognize and pay for quality as well.

I will place the link to the retreat i will be working for. We provide an authentic experience, we have great shamans, personally i have worked with 5 different ones. We have a great camp, great modern facilities, awesome food. Good activities. Just clean, professional and fucking fun people. So check it out.
