LIVING ARUTAM EXPERIENCE la versíon española la version française


Ayahuasca is literally the spiritual vine.

Since immemorial times, forest people in Amazon basin used ayahuasca, in combination with other plants, as source of wisdom and ultimate option medicine. The western culture catalogue ayahuasca as a mind altering plant and chooses to ignore it. We, live in the area where it grows and where forest people still use it for the original reason. In the course of our lives here, we become exposed to spiritual and physiological benefits of ayahuasca and now we don't have any doubts or reticence related to its use.

First, ayahuasca is the most potent physiological medicine we had opportunity to observe. Everybody, after even one time use, feels better the next day. While after using small doses over a period of few weeks, many "incurable" health conditions amazingly go away. Second, ayahuasca is the most appropriate means to get in contact with one's spiritual double and establish a connection between our conscious mind and our subconcious spirit. It's effect, when used in the proper context, is very visual and don't leave any place for speculations about the meaning of each message.

When we speak about proper context, we mean a physiological, emotional and mental preparation before the first ceremony. It takes at least 2 days to get to this point. The method involves immersion with the surrounding living nature, specific alimentary restrictions, and physical / psychological exercises. This preparatory period is indispensable to derive a maximum benefit from the ayahuasca ceremony.

The ayahuasca ceremony, under the guidance of Shaman, traditionally takes place in the night in most appropriate conditions reproducing a native environment. We believe that most beneficial are personal ceremonies where only individual, couple or group of friends participate.

By principle, we are opposed to mass ceremonies practiced by some commercialization conscious organizers.

To participate in the ceremony, first, you must come to Puerto Misahualli: We are in Puerto Misahualli, small village at the end of the road in oriental part of Ecuador. Between Puerto Misahualli, Ecuador and Manaus, Brazil there is few thousands of kilometers of the virgin jungle and many rivers. Puerto Misahualli is at the limit of territory occupied by few native tribes, which had successfully resisted to be "civilized". Puerto Misahualli is only few hours of direct bus from Quito, Ecuador. You must reach Quito on your own.
The only bus going directly from Quito to Puerto Misahualli, of the company AMAZONAS, leves Quito's Central Bus Terminal, once a day, at 10:30. It reaches Puerto Misahualli 17:00.

As you get off the bus on the main plaza, look around. In the N-E corner, you will see two story high building with the green roofs and PORTA agency sign. You will find Jimela there. From there, she will take care of you.

The next day, you will walk to the mineral springs near Misahualli River or you will explore jungle paths observing the birds and the plants around you. In the evening of second day, you will participate in the first ceremony. The following day, you will relax enjoying the sun and taking the occasional dips in Napo River. In the evening, you may want to participate in the second ceremony. We will provide you with the fresh local foods.

All costs are included in one time fee.

In other words, we provide you with the best quality. After 3 days and 4 nights, you go on visiting the beautiful Ecuador.

The one time fee for the ayahuasca ceremony and 3 days 4 nights stay is: US$300 per person.
