People come to Peru today looking for more than just physical healing. They come to find meaning, inner peace, and a stronger link to life. We at Peru Shamans respect this holy tradition and will make sure you are safe on this deep trip.
What is Ayahuasca?
These are the two main plants used to make Ayahuasca: Psychotria Viridis (a leaf) and Banisteropsis capi (a bush). They form a drink together to clean the minds of spiritual ceremonies, to keep in touch with high stages of consciousness and open the heart.
The cutchua language gives the plant an ” Ayahuasca ” name, which means “the wine of the souls.” As the name says, it is known for bringing soul dipped events that are often called life changes, challenging and deep treatment.
Why Ayahuasca in Peru Is So Unique?
One of the most real and holy places to have an Ayahuasca ritual is in Peru. This is why:
- Family Knowledge: Peruvian shamans have taught people about Ayahuasca for many generations. Because they know and value the plant, the ceremonies here are very strong and safe.
- A landscape of spiritual importance: The energy from Peru’s forests, mountains and rivers provides a very spiritual dimension to the healing process.
- Cultural significance: Ayahuska is an important part of the indigenous people in Peru. It is used to go to spiritual guidance, treatment and visual assignments.
Our experienced shamans at Peru Shamans hold traditional ceremonies in holy places to honour the wisdom of the ancestors and help you on your own journey.
