5 & 7 Night Ayahuasca Retreat in Costa Rica & Peru

About Us

Expanding the definition of healing

Under the guidance of Indigenous Peruvian Shipibo healers, we combine plant medicine ceremony, supportive embodiment practices, and a unique integration program to empower each guest in their healing over the long term. 

Our decades of combined experience holding ceremony and doing medicine work allow you to experience in-depth healing in a safe and loving environment.

Immersed in the seaside tropical forest of Costa Rica, or the breathtaking mountains of the Sacred Valley, Peru, we offer retreats of varying lengths, and lodging options, allowing you to find what works for you in order to step fully into your authentic self.

Retreats at the Sacred Valley ayahuasca center location

Nestled in the heart of the Andes, where majestic mountains converge with verdant landscapes, we invite you to breathe deeply and be fully here as you connect to the natural rhythms and healing lands supporting our deeply intentional retreat programs in the Sacred Valley of Peru.

Immerse yourself in the vibrant tapestry of natural beauty, ancient history, and rich cultural heritage of this region, as our beloved Shipibo Maestros and trauma-informed facilitators create a container of safety, presence, and connection to support your healing.

As we enter into sacred space together, let this land be a portal to catalyze the ceremony of your life.

Playa Blanca, Costa Rica Location

Retreats in a Blue Zone of the World

Soltara Healing Center is located on the calm and pristine Gulf of Nicoya in the mountainous jungle of Costa Rica’s Nicoya Peninsula.

Possessing the highest density of biodiversity of any country in the world, it is also labeled as one of the 5 “blue zones”, a term coined by National Geographic author Dan Buettner, describing places where a high percentage of the population lives active lives over the age of 100.

Despite spending only a fraction of what many countries spend on healthcare, Nicoyans are twice as likely to reach a healthy age 90 compared to Americans, and seven times more likely to reach age 100 than a Japanese male (Okinawa, Japan is also considered a blue zone).

The secret lies not just in quantity, but in quality of life – and make no mistake, those living longer are still enjoying the riches of life!

About aYAHUASCA

What Is Ayahuasca?

Supporting guests from intake to integration

At Soltara, we hold a high standard for every aspect of the healing process. We believe all those who feel called to work with the medicine at an ayahuasca retreat, regardless of where they choose to partake, should understand the current knowledge, traditions, and recommendations, both spiritual and medical, in preparing for such an experience.

Ultimately, the goal of your ayahuasca retreat preparation & integration (post-retreat) work is to help you potentiate your experience with the medicine. You’ve invested your time, energy, resources, and commitment to your healing, and we encourage you to see your efforts as an investment in yourself and in devotion to the plants & the Shipibo tradition that stewards this work. 

Our holistic before and after-care offerings are here to help you realize and connect to the answers and agency you already have within you.

Our before and aftercare support extends beyond your ayahuasca retreat, and includes:

Why people love Soltara

Justin S Designation

“The views are amazing yeah. And the food is also equally amazing if not more, but the best part of Soltara is the staff. Everyone on the team there excel at what they do to promote a healthy experience. I went there for the medicine but I'm going back in the future, for the caring people I met when I got there.”

Josie G Designation

“Just finished my 7-day retreat at Soltara. It's been a life-transforming experience, beyond all expectations. It was important for me to feel safe and trust the expertise of the amazing, hard-working staff. My deepest gratitude to facilitators, and the shamans for their dedication to plant medicine in such a powerful way. If you are considering to have an Ayahuasca ceremony, Soltara is THE PLACE to do it. You are in good hands. The resort is beautiful, food incredible, and you get to look at the magical night sky from the star deck every night! Will be back, for sure.”

Tiffany W Designation

“Soltara Healing Center was a dream come true. I can’t thank them enough for the truly life changing experience I had (and I don’t say that lightly!). Everything exceeded my expectations, from the amazing facilitators to the healers, pasajeros, & staff.”

Tony P Designation

“After going to Peru 4 times for Aya retreats I decided to try somewhere new, and I am so glad that I did! ...The facilitators are some of the most wonderful, caring and compassionate people that I have ever had the pleasure to meet. They are there for you anytime that you need them for anything.”

Anders H Designation

“The food is excellent, the staff is some of the sweetest people you'll ever meet and you'll be in good hands throughout your stay. It's not even that expensive. And flying to Costa Rica is much cheaper than flying to South America. My dear friend, I recommend Soltara with all my heart <3”
