A Sanctuary for Healing in the Heart of the Amazon
The Ayahuasca experience, under the expert guidance of Maestro Don Ron at El Purguero, is a profound journey of self-discovery and transformation. Ron prefers to refer to the events at 'El Purguero as 'ayahuasca workshops' rather than ayahuasca retreats because he feels a workshop more accurately describes the ayahuasca experience, which is characterized by deep inner work - often challenging but always rewarding.
The rustic camp at El Purguero allows you to connect deeply to the Amazon rainforest and to your true self in an inward soul journey free of external distractions. In this raw and authentic setting, you're liberated from the constraints of everyday life. At El Purguero, you're not just a participant; you're an active explorer, delving into the depths of your consciousness, embracing the true essence of your existence.
