Ayahuasca & Andean Healing Retreats

Discover deep healing and ancient wisdom at Kinti Yaya, La Ruta Escondida, Ecuador

We offer transformative healing retreats rooted in the sacred Andean traditions, where plant medicine and your connection with nature guide your journey. Choose from three immersive retreat options, each designed to bring deep healing through plant teachers such as Ayahuasca and Huachuma, and ancestral Kichwa teachings.
