Sacred Spiritual Journeys in the South of Ecuador

Chakapita is a beautiful, intimate retreat that provides guests a unique healing experience. Each retreat is no more than 8 guests in total which enables the shaman to give each guest the attention they need. The retreat is situated in a stunning part of Ecuador, surrounded by majestic mountains and breathtaking nature including several rivers which are visited for cleansing before ceremonies. We work with Ayahuasca, San Pedro, Tobacco and a rare plant called Huilka (also spelled Vilca or Wilka.) This plant is taken as a snuff blown up the nose. It contains DMT and 5MEO DMT. She is a feminine spirit and can be incredibly healing, especially for those with addictions or serious disease. It is a short ceremony, lasting about an hour. All of these plants can help people to release bad energy and emotions and past trauma that are inhibiting them. We have the utmost respect for these plants and feel eternally grateful for their benevolence and love towards us humans. They are wise teachers and we are humbled to share their magic with you.

We look to ensure that all guests are as comfortable as possible during their stay and provide freshly prepared locally sourced food every day.
