Ayahuasca in Medellin: The Uncharted Healing Heart of Colombia.
Not a lot of people know there are Ayahuasca retreats in Colombia, even fewer are aware of Ayahuasca in Medellin.
When most think of Ayahuasca, images of faraway jungles in Peru might come to mind. However, the rich traditions surrounding Ayahuasca are just as ingrained in Colombian culture as they are in Peru.
As the world’s consciousness expands, so does the interest for genuine, transformative experiences.
Medellin, often renown for its innovation and vibrancy, is emerging as a hotspot for those seeking profound Ayahuasca experience.
The city is surrounded lush green mountains valleys and in one of those valleys an hour south of Medellin we established LaWayra, a retreat that has managed to carve its space right in the forefront of this awakening.
What sets LaWayra apart is not just its commitment to personal and affordable retreats but its strategic location. While being surrounded by nature, providing that essential serene environment for introspection, we’ve also ensured that essential amenities, like public transportation and even a hospital less than 10 minutes away (that we never yet had to use)
AntioquĆa of which Medellin is a capital seems to have been perfectly designed to become a hotspot for the retreats. Perfect temperature all year round, not too cold and not too hot and always green.
Colombia got overlooked during the first wave of Ayahuasca tourism for a simple reason that in Colombian indigenous languages Ayahuasca is called Yage. Don’t let this fool you, not only Yage is not worse it is arguably a better more stronger version of Ayahuasca.
