Our Mission
Our mission is to safeguard the ancient Amazonian healing traditions, unaltered by Western influence, and to share them in their purest form.
History of La Luna del Amazonas
The journey of La Luna del Amazonas began in 1987, when our shamans opened a small village clinic known by the humble name El Consultorio. Though simple in appearance, it was a place where the medicine men and women shared natural remedies and where the songs of the healers carried medicine into the hearts of those who entered. Villagers came first, seeking relief and renewal, but soon the whispers of its healing reached beyond the riverbanks, calling travelers from distant towns, then across Peru, and eventually from lands far away.
In 2016, guided by vision and trust in the medicine, Enrique encouraged the shamans to expand this modest seed into a sanctuary of greater reach. El Consultorio blossomed into what is now La Luna del Amazonas. Private rooms, ceremonies led by experienced shamans, and a circle both intimate and strong. It became a place both ancient and new: deeply rooted in tradition, yet welcoming to all who seek an authentic and safe encounter with the mystery.
And then the name revealed itself. One night, after a ceremony shared with a traveler from Australia, Enrique sat in silence, watching the moon cast her luminous veil over the jungle canopy. In that moment of stillness, the vision descended: La Luna del Amazonas (The Moon of the Amazon).
The moon became our emblem, eternal and watchful, a radiant bridge between earth and spirit, jungle and soul, the vast outer night and the infinite inner sky. Beneath her glow, the medicine deepens, calling each heart into communion with the mystery of life. Here, under the moon and within the forest’s embrace, healing awakens and true transformation begins.
The Circle of Guardianship
Every retreat is carried by a circle of dedicated roles:
- Shamans prepare the medicine, lead ceremonies, and sing the healing icaros.
- Facilitators support guests and bridge cultures.
- Guardians hold silent presence throughout the night.
- Support Team nourish body and spirit with food and care.
Together, they create the container that allows you to surrender fully to the medicine.
