Ayahuasca Retreat Cusco has a qualified and trained team, including an Emergency Nurse who will be present throughout the ayahuasca ceremony. The nurse will perform checks to ensure that all participants are calm and stable after the ceremony has concluded.

The ceremonies are guided by two highly experienced shamans, who come from local community families. They are deeply trained and familiar with the ancestral traditions and techniques that have been passed down through the centuries.

The ayahuasca brew used in the ceremony is a mix of Ayahuasca and chacruna, and does not include any other plants in the beverage.
