April 6, 2022 Phylicia Berquist

Loreto (Spanish pronunciation: [loˈɾeto]) is Peru's northernmost region. Covering almost one-third of Peru's territory, Loreto is by far the nation's largest region; it is also one of the most sparsely populated regions due to its remote location in the Amazon Rainforest. Its capital is Iquitos.

Aboard the Aria from Aqua Expeditions, we explored the National Reserve in small boats, visiting local villages and viewing the most spectacular array of bird, reptile, insect and animal life on the planet. At night we dined, drank and slept in absolute luxury. A bucket list MUST DO.

I am a solo female traveler under going my first Ayahuasca experience and I could have not asked for a better place! We had 4 ceremonies in total. Don Lucho (main shaman), Luis Jr and Anderson (both shaman in practice) offered spiritual guidance to participants throughout the Ayahuasca experience. They checked in with us frequently and made sure we are safe. In between the ceremonies we did different activities and had some good amount of time with Don Lucho himself. He is an incredible healer who likes to share his knowledge regarding plant healing with everyone who has any interest in learning. He truly cares for the human species to be healed! If you are looking for a good and safe place to do your Ayahuasca ceremonies I can highly recommend this place
