About Luz Y Vida Amazon Lodge
Luz Y Vida Amazon Lodge, nestled along the Yanayacu River in the heart of the Peruvian Amazon, offers a peaceful escape with comfortable bungalows and transformative Ayahuasca retreats. Guided by skilled Shipibo shamans, our sacred plant medicine ceremonies provide a safe and supportive space for healing, growth, and "re-setting." Private consultations are available for sensitive matters, ensuring a personalized journey.
At Luz Y Vida, we embrace holistic healing through our retreat programs and daily jungle expeditions, helping you reconnect with your mind, body, and spirit. Born from the founders' deep understanding of the need for social and spiritual support in a fast-paced, globalized world, our lodge aims to be a sanctuary for those seeking relief from stress, trauma, and emotional challenges like depression.
With 40 years of jungle expertise, our facilitator is always present to guide you through this unique healing experience. Though our supporters are based near Austin, TX, USA, we ensure a seamless, all-inclusive package (excluding airfare) so you can fully focus on your healing journey. To keep you connected, Starlink is available, and we honor military personnel and veterans with special discounts.
Immerse yourself in the beauty of the Amazon, open your heart to transformation, and let us support you every step of the way. Luz Y Vida welcomes you to begin your journey toward renewal and well-being.
If you're simply looking to explore the Amazon jungle and river, we can arrange exclusive expeditions for you. Families with young children are welcome—we even provide babysitting services to ensure everyone has a comfortable experience. Let us help you create unforgettable memories in the heart of the rainforest!
