Yachay Wasi

The name “Yachay Wasi” means “House of Knowledge” in Quechua, the language of the Incas. Located in the Peruvian Amazon, approximately 3.5 hours by boat from Iquitos, Yachay Wasi Ayahuasca Centre offers a serene and natural environment for healing and spiritual growth.
At Yachay Wasi, we offer authentic and transformative healing retreats rooted in ancient Amazonian traditions. Our family of experienced healers brings over 130 years of combined wisdom to guide you through your healing journey.
Don Rómulo, our principal healer, has passed his sacred knowledge to his son Don Winister and grandson Don Winister Junior. Together, they have more than 60 years of experience leading Ayahuasca ceremonies and shamanic healing practices.
Our Ayahuasca ceremonies offer a safe and sacred space for emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual healing. By honoring the connection between mind, body, and spirit, participants can begin to release emotional blockages and reconnect with their true selves.
Each ceremony is approached with great care. Furthermore, we hold deep respect for the medicine and the powerful process it initiates. With this holistic approach, healing unfolds in a grounded and supportive way. In addition to the ceremonies, we provide personalized guidance to help you integrate your experience. After all, true healing continues long after the ceremony ends. For this reason, we emphasize integration as an essential part of the journey. Moreover, our experienced shamans and kindhearted facilitators create an environment where you feel held and understood. Combined with the peaceful setting of the jungle, the experience becomes even more transformative.
Ultimately, whether you seek clarity, release, or connection, we are here to support you—every step of the way.
Our commitment is to provide genuine, traditional healing rooted in love and respect for the plant medicine. We believe in the power of this sacred path to bring clarity, release, and spiritual awakening.

I have worked with different curanderos in Peru in the past but have never experienced such a deep care and a feeling of ease and generosity like I did during this month with them. They are incredible healer who deeply care about the process I was going through and held me every step of the way. They clearly have a very strong and deep connection with the Plant Spirit realms and have an incredible knowledge of the jungle and its medicinal plants as well. I felt in total trust with them and would highly recommend this beautiful place in the deep jungle to anyone who is looking for deep healing. Thank you to Maestro Winister and Junior for being my guides and curenderos during my time here. Lauren Johnson2025-03-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It's impossible to say enough good things about my experience here. Yachay Wasi is a truly magical place for deep healing and transformation. I highly recommend this incredibly special centre to anyone seeking an authentic, safe, powerful experience with the medicinal plants. Maestro Winister & Junior carry such deep love, power and mastery of the gifts they have cultivated in harmony with nature's divine intelligence over many years, and they generously shared with me. From the very start, I was treated like family. Their hospitality was kind, comforting and supportive. The lush jungle that surrounds the centre is pure magic and a perfect backdrop for deep self-discovery. The accommodations are simple and comfortable. The food is clean and delicious and prepared by Rocio with love. I had an overall enchanting experience with the sacred wisdom of the plants. It is one of the purest forms of wisdom since it does not originate from the mind, but from the light of the sun and the spirit of the Earth. With much gratitude, thank you Maestro Winister & Junior for lighting the way.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
