Iquitos Peru Amazon Lodge

I've known Oscar for many years, a guide who is very attentive to the well-being of his guests, with an excellent knowledge of the jungle, its flora and fauna, medicinal plants and the shamanic culture practiced in this region. The first time I immersed myself in the heart of the Amazon jungle, I felt this spiritual call. Thanks to Oscar, I was able to meet a shaman and open my consciousness to another dimension with the plant during an Ayahuasca ceremony.

I have done ayahuasca several times in Peru in different retreats. My experience in this retreat has been the best so far. That's why I went back there later. The location and shaman are perfect, which made the experience much better in my opinion.

Luz y Vida is the most authentic and true Amazon experience I could have ever hoped for. The amount of wisdom and knowledge Oscar (the owner and your personal tour guide) has regarding all the different plants and animal species is astounding. He is a wealth of knowledge on so many intriguing historical and folklore topics to really gain a profound perspective of the area. Furthermore, you can feel his passion and kind hearted spirit permeate through him providing a sense of ease

I want to thank R and M, for asking me to join them on their recent trip to Peru! R, who I’ve always known as Dennis and his bride M , are partial owners of a retreat in the jungles of Peru, just off the Amazon River. They invited me to give my medical opinion, (such as it is) on ayahuasca as a medical treatment for people suffering from PTSD and other symptoms. I went to and recorded five tea ceremonies, talked to Oscar who is partial owner, caretaker and facilitator of the retreat, the shaman and his assistant. I also spoke with a gentleman that was there for treatment. To be honest, I didn’t reserve much hope for him
