*Please not that because this event is held deep in the jungles of the amazon the accommodations are very simple. This is a very rural and even rugged terrain which lends itself to an authentic ayahuasca experience. This event is not for the faint of heart as it requires a great deal of introspection, courage, and responsibility.
