A new exclusive tour from tour operator TravelHub - an experience of knowledge, retreat and self-discovery in the Ayahuasca ceremony (Peru, Cusco and San Salvador). Learn everything about this tradition at the very origins of its origins!

Ayahuasca is a plant found in the Amazon jungle known as the “vine of the soul.” Its infusion is used in ayahuasca ceremonies led by shamans for spiritual healing and enlightenment. The origins of ayahuasca go back to ancient times, associated with the mystical rites of the Amazonian Indians, where the plant is considered a sacred tool for communication with spirits and spiritual growth. During an ayahuasca ceremony, participants enter a deep trance, receiving revelations and healing under the guidance of an experienced shaman.
