Ayahuasca (also called Yagé) is a drink and natural ancestral remedy cooked by our shamans (each shaman cooks his own) and that in the only traditional recipe involves the use of Ayahuasca Vine (liana Banisteriopsis caapi) and the addition of Chacruna leaves (Psychotria viridis plant). This process is in fact a real ceremony that you can experience in our retreats.

Ayahuasca has proven to be safe and effective in addressing common mental health challenges (anxiety, depression, addictive disorders, PTSD, amongst others), as well as improving well-being and performance in healthy individuals, benefiting from improvements in cognition, mood, behaviour, brain function, and social connectedness.

At Aslepay Shamanic Center we strongly believe that environment and guidance are of paramount importance for a totally safe experience. We have therefore decided to work exclusively with the Top Local Master Shamans with more than 30 years of experience belonging to tribes that have shared this medicinal plant for generations.

As you will read in our Retreat Program, we only work with the Top local Shaman Masters with over 30 years of experience. These are shamans also from tribes that have been using this ancestral remedy for generations. The objective of Aslepay is in fact to share the knowledge of the culture of the shamanic tribes with whom we have been collaborating for many years, as well as the medicine they use as a powerful tool for healing and self-introspection.

Your international flight will arrive at Bogota airport. From there you will have the possibility to take a domestic flight. Our staff will be waiting for you at the airport of Villagarzon with a domestic flight from Bogota.

From Bogotá there are two possibilities: with the bus that leaves from the airport of Bogotá and arrives in the center of Mocoa with a travel time of about 9 hours.

The other possibility (the most common) is with a domestic flight (satena airline here the link) from Bogotá to Villa Garzon (duration about an hour and a half). In the case of the first choice please inform our staff as soon as possible. In the second case, a transportation service of the group from Villagarzon to Aslepay Shamanic Center is already foreseen (about one hour of travel).

Our staff will be happy to help you through a local agency to book your round-trip flight.

There are many hotels of various categories near the airport. Normally our participants prefer to meet at the Hilton Garden Inn Bogota Airport hotel (for any information here is the link).

There are neighborhoods to avoid in the city that of course all hoteliers and taxi drivers will be able to point out to you. Bogota is a safe and very beautiful city to visit. The people are very sociable and friendly. It's always a good idea to avoid having objects of great value and a lot of cash, and to follow local customs and traditions (as in any other city in the world).

Guerrilla warfare has always been present in many countries of South America and in colombia it is in the southern part and anyway far from the civilized part (especially far from mocoa).

Mocoa has a very nice downtown and is safe. It can be visited at any time also because of the presence of many international tourists. For any further information our staff will be able to help you during the pick up.

You will receive an email (or even within the group chat) fifteen days before the start of the retreat with all the suggested packing list.

No visa is required. However for more information you can check here at this link.

Colombian pesos are accepted in Colombia (a few also accept dollars). So it is advisable to have some more cash especially if you want to buy local handicrafts or souvenirs. You'll be able to exchange them at a good rate as soon as you arrive at the Bogotá airport inside, right after baggage claim.

For Colombia there are three associated plug types, types A and B. Plug type A is the plug which has two flat parallel pins and plug type B is the plug which has two flat parallel pins and a grounding pin. Colombia operates on a 110V supply voltage and 60Hz.

The ayahuasca experience is one that can give you many insights through a language that can be visual, bodily, mental, or simultaneously all at once. Sometimes integrating in the logical mind some information received can be helpful to share with other people who have already experienced and solved that "puzzle". Developed and deepened by Antonio Siano, Comprehension Therapy aims in fact, using techniques, exercises and dynamics, to give the participant the ability to connect the logical part with the emotional and soul part, creating an alchemy that leads to deep understanding (which in other cases we call "intuition"). According to most of our participants, these sessions are the most important parts of the retreat. All our facilitators have the professionalism and experience to guide the group in this practice.

"If you're looking for a guru or teacher, look within yourself!" - Antonio Siano
