Temple of the Way of Light
Location: Iquitos, Peru
Tags: ayahuasca, traditional, shamanic, jungle
Core offerings are immersive 12-day retreats, including a Living in Alignment format with an optional five-day integration extension, plus specialized programs such as women-only retreats and a healing-the-healers retreat reserved for medical and mental health professionals. Ceremonies use ayahuasca brewed from vine and chacruna sourced from Shipibo territories, complemented by yoga, individual support, and structured self-inquiry.
The setting is deliberately unplugged. Guests reach the Temple by road, boat, and jungle walk, roughly two hours from Iquitos, with group transfer from the city included, and stay in traditional tambos spread through primary rainforest. The immersion trades modern amenities for depth: expect simple accommodation, a preparatory diet, and a full integration program afterward.
The Temple is also known for its reciprocity work with the Shipibo-Conibo people, supporting the preservation of indigenous healing knowledge. Retreats run monthly year-round, with application, medical screening, and a deposit required well in advance; programs regularly fill months out.
