The Best Healing Centers in Peru

As a spiritual home, it’s hard to beat the location of the Healing House, right in the the San Blas neighborhood of Cusco. San Blas is the bohemian part of Cusco, with great access to the Plaza de Armas, and the sacred Inca ruins are only a short walk away. The Healing House feels like a family home and will welcome you with open arms. Their healers and teachers offer classes throughout the day that range from yoga to sound healing and reiki. You can book a room or rent out one of their larger houses in San Blas for your retreat.

La Luna Del Amazonas

The tradition of ayahuasca ceremonies comes straight out of the Amazon rainforest, which is right where La Luna Del Amazonas is located, about an hour’s boat ride from the city of Iquitos, and there’s no better place to drink it than at its very source in the Amazon rainforest. The retreat has various shamans, with more than 40 years of experience leading ceremonies, in their spectacular temple surrounded by the Amazon rainforest. Enrique, the manager and part-owner, helps accommodate guests with translations and anything else they may need. They also offer kambo and San Pedro ceremonies, and excursions along the Amazon River.
