wisdom of the Shipibo lineage

Rao Kaya means Spirit of the Medicine, a name that reflects the heart and soul of the Shipibo plant medicine tradition.

With deep respect for the wisdom of nature, the Shamans form a spiritual connection with the plants through the intense practice of dieta. This sacred practice involves following a strict diet over extended periods of time to build a deep connection and bond with the spirits of the plants.

Through this deep connection, the plant spirits reveal ways to heal, teach, and restore balance within the mind, body, and spirit.

After many years of dedication and countless dietas, our Shamans have gained the knowledge and skill to navigate the spirit realm. With their wisdom and experience, they can offer true healing and transformation to those who seek it.

Personalized Healing

Healing is deeply personal, which is why we tailor the experience to meet your unique needs. Whether you’re seeking emotional balance, physical healing, or spiritual insight, we work with the shamans and plant medicines to create a path just for you.

Ayahuasca and the plants are powerful allies, but true healing requires focus and effort. The journey isn’t always easy, but it leads to profound transformation. 

Because healing can be both vulnerable and challenging, we’re here to ensure you feel safe and supported every step of the way. At Rao Kaya, you’re not just a guest—you’re family.

Frequently Asked Questions

You can take a flight from  Lima Airport (Jorge Chavez International Airport) to Pucallpa Airport, where we arrange for you to get picked up.

Ayahuasca is a sacred plant medicine brew that contains the naturally occurring psychedelic compound DMT. For centuries or maybe even millennia, indigenous Amazonian communities have used it for profound physical, emotional, and spiritual healing. It can help with personal growth, trauma healing, and gaining a deeper understanding of yourself. Each experience is unique and guided by our experienced Shipibo maestros.

Safety is our top priority. We ensure thorough health screenings before your retreat to understand your medical history and current condition. During ceremonies, our facilitators and Shipibo maestros provide a safe and supportive environment to guide you through the process.
