Amayama Avaliações 

Ten days ago, I completed an Iboga retreat at Amayama.

I have several years of experience working with different medicines and psychedelics, but I have never experienced anything as powerful and effective as my journey with Iboga.

Beyond the ceremony itself — which was not easy for me physically, mentally, or emotionally — the entire experience was incredible.

The team at Amayama is simply made up of some of the most wonderful people you could ever hope to meet. There is such a warm, family-like atmosphere, delicious, healthy and nourishing food, deep listening that truly comes from the heart, and guidance that is both professional and deeply moving.

Now, ten days later, I am amazed by the effect Iboga has had on me. I am in awe of this new feeling I carry with me as I move through the world.

I wholeheartedly recommend Amayama to anyone looking for a safe and meaningful place to do deep inner work. It is a place filled with love, professionalism, and responsibility.

I know I will be back.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart. ❤️

One of the best experiences I have had in my life if not the best — and certainly one of the most meaningful and interesting.

What makes Amayama so special is that it is much more than just the experience itself. It somehow encourages you to use the power of your own mind to look inward face things you may have been carrying for a long time and approach your emotions and traumas from a different perspective. But at the same time the journey was filled with so much joy warmth connection and beautiful moments.

From the moment I arrived I genuinely felt at home. There was a sense of safety and peace that allowed me to relax trust the process and simply be myself. The villa and the nature surrounding it are beautiful the food was delicious and authentic and everything felt thoughtfully prepared. Most importantly they take the time to understand you and shape the journey around your individual needs while always making safety and well-being a priority.

What truly makes this place exceptional however is the people.

Axis is an incredibly talented and passionate facilitator. The way he leads the ceremonies holds the space and guides you through the experience is something very difficult to put into words. You can feel that he genuinely believes in what he does and deeply cares about the people who come there.

Chiara was like an angel throughout the experience — always present supportive caring and somehow knowing when you needed reassurance or simply someone beside you.

Eve was there for me even before I arrived answering all my questions quickly clearly and patiently. That care continued throughout my stay and made me feel comfortable and supported from the very beginning.

Vicente and Sylvie our wonderful hosts truly felt like the mother and father of the house. Their warmth kindness and calm presence brought an incredible sense of comfort and reassurance. They were a huge part of why I felt so safe and so genuinely at home there.

And Jordi brought another kind of magic to the experience. He is incredibly talented with a beautiful voice and beautiful way of playing music. His music added so much emotion and depth to the ceremonies and created moments that I will remember for a very long time.

What I also appreciated deeply is that their care does not simply end when you leave. The follow-up and integration sessions show that they genuinely care about how you process the experience and how you bring what you learned back into your everyday life.

I came to Amayama for an experience but I left feeling that I had shared something very special with a group of people who genuinely care about what they do and about the people they welcome into their home. I felt safe cared for understood and truly at home with them.

It was a beautiful experience that I will carry with me for a very long time. I am deeply grateful to every one of them. ❤️

È difficile trovare le parole per descrivere ciò che si vive ad Amayama. Non è solo un ritiro quello che offrono, ma un’esperienza profonda e trasformativa.
La casa, immersa nel verde della provincia di Valencia, con i suoi colori e i suoi sapori autentici, è un luogo in cui ci si sente accolti fin dal primo momento.
Axis e Chiara non sono semplicemente delle guide. Insieme a tutto il meraviglioso team, hanno creato uno spazio in cui ogni persona, con la propria storia, possa contribuire a un grande cambiamento, grazie all’uso delle piante medicinali. Il ritiro è guidato nel rispetto delle tradizioni, con rigore, amore e spirito.
Se si è pronti a scavare nel profondo, ad affrontare ciò che emerge e a tornare a casa con consapevolezze che prima non si avevano, si è pronti per questo meraviglioso e intenso viaggio di crescita personale.
Amayama è il luogo in cui vivere questa esperienza nel modo più autentico, sicuro e guidato.
Infinitamente grazie, Amayama.

An amazing experience. Axis & Chiara were very knowledgeable, kind and caring in guiding me through the experience. I felt safe and supported at all times which made for an unforgettable experience. The medicine space feels sacred and calm, a perfect set and setting. Also the house is very pretty and there is a lot of nature around which makes for a very nice quiet space perfect for plant medicine. Also the food was 10/10. I would wholeheartedly recommend Amayama <3 <3

I attended Amayama in Valencia seeking support for military-related PTSD after it was recommended to me by Axis and Chiara. Rather than pursuing ayahuasca, they suggested Iboga due to its positive track record with veterans, and I'm very grateful that they did.

From the moment I arrived, I felt safe, welcomed, and genuinely listened to. The team created a warm and supportive environment where I felt comfortable throughout the entire process. The treatment itself was a profound experience, and I found it genuinely helpful in my ongoing journey with PTSD.

What stood out just as much as the retreat itself was the quality of the follow-up care. The support didn't end when I left; the team continued to check in and provide guidance, which made a real difference in helping me integrate the experience.

I would highly recommend Amayama to any veteran exploring alternative approaches to healing from PTSD. My experience was positive, professional, and supportive from start to finish.

My husband and I experienced profound healing at Amayama. Located in the countryside near Valencia, the retreat feels peaceful and welcoming from the moment you arrive. The home is surrounded by beautiful gardens and thoughtfully designed to create a tranquil environment. Everything was clean and comfortable.The food was also incredibly fresh and delicious.

We were drawn to Amayama because of its focus on small groups and couples, which felt unique compared to many of the other retreats we researched. We appreciated having many opportunities to connect with each other, while also receiving personalized guidance and support for our own individual experiences.

Axis and Chiara are knowledgeable and deeply committed to the work they do. Together with their teachers, Sylvie and Vicente, they have created a beautiful and intentional community. We felt welcomed immediately and supported by everyone there. Some parts of the experience were powerful and challenging, but we always felt safe and guided through each step, including the integration process afterward.

We left feeling more connected and deeply grateful for the experience and the care we received at Amayama. We look forward to returning.

There truly aren't enough words to describe how much the Iboga retreat at Amayama has changed my life. After years of various therapies and significant resources spent trying to resolve longstanding issues, I was on the verge of giving up hope - until I found this incredible group of people.

Axis, Chiara, Sylvie, and Vicente are masters of their craft. They are highly skilled practitioners who facilitate the Iboga medicine with immense pride and sacred integrity. They treated me with the profound care and dignity usually reserved for family. From the preparation to the integration, I felt completely held and supported the entire time.

The house and the beautiful garden are a healing sanctuary in every sense. A quiet oasis, creating a peaceful and nurturing environment that made it possible for me to fully surrender to the medicine. Everything about the week was spectacular - even the food was handled with so much love that it felt like medicine in itself.

I also want to extend a huge thank you to Eve, Guido, and Jordi who supported my process as well. Their presence was a steady anchor of compassion, and I felt their genuine care in every interaction. They are truly beautiful souls.

If you are serious about the deep healing that Iboga offers and want to do it in a safe place that feels like a 'system reboot' for the soul, look no further. I will be forever grateful for the week I spent here.

Really amazing environment with even more amazing people. Was a little hesitant and nervous for my first time experiencing this type of work but the family here at Amayama could not have been more accommodating and helpful , finding the perfect balance between being there in support and letting you have your own experience. Also some of the best food I have ever tasted was a big plus. If you feel the calling there is no better place to go.

From the moment we arrived, we immediately felt warmly welcomed and lovingly cared for. The house is surrounded by beautifully cared nature, different animals and vibrant life energy. It’s impossible not to feel uplifted and at peace there. Every moment was filled with love, kindness, positivity and a deep sense of connection. A heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone at Amayama for creating such a special place and sharing it with so much love. Truly a priceless experience🙏✨

The whole place and experience is impressive: the old trees in the gardens and the stories of where they came from; the ambiance the garden provides and it being great place to connect with nature after or before a ceremony; the practical tips given prior to ceremonies; the authentic people in Axis, Chiara and team who are determined to give each a very personal and supportive experience. I feel I had a lot of luck and fortune in finding this place.

A month after returning from Amayama, I look back and it all feels like a dream.
I cannot think of a better place to have your first experience with plant medicines. The care, love and support you receive is overwhelming
You will experience a series of carefully curated ceremonies, no two the same, with a mix of live and recorded music, dance, song and other traditional rituals and a ton of support to help you before, during and after.
All the ceremonies combine into an overall healing experience and each one plays their part. The facilitators of the ceremony are perfectly tuned into your emotions to curate the perfect experience.
I came here to reconnect with my feelings and be more present. The medicine did the trick and I received many more insights and appreciations.
The web site describes "a sanctuary of healing" which is a very accurate description, and would be a great place to heal even without any medicine. The environment is perfect and Axis, Chiara, Eve, Vicente and Sylvie are all beautiful humans.
The food is amazing, the house, the garden, the surroundings, the warmth. They are all so key to the experience.
I will come again without a hesitation and I have made deep connections for life.

I went in the beginning of December 2025 to the Iboga and Yobo retreat.
It was the best time of my life. I am so happy that I went and made this amazing experience. I really feel connected and healed alot.
Thank you so much. All the team meet me with so much love and compassion.
It is the greatest gift one can give itself for spiritual growth and healing. I will come back!🙏😊🎉🍄🧘‍♀️🌞🌴🥳♥️

My time at Amayama has led to profound change. This was my first time working with the medicines. I found the ceremonies very difficult and I was not certain at the time that much good had come out of them. Most of my fellow companions reported good experiences during the ceremonies but this was not the case for me. I am very grateful to Axis, Chiara, Silvi and Vicente for the amazing support they gave me while I was with them and after I returned home. It took time to notice the changes. However, I am writing this review two and a half months after the ceremonies and I can happily and gratefully state that there are changes and they seem to be permanent.

I am much more confident. I have tried through therapy, exposure experiences and acting classes over decades to help myself with my fear of public speaking. These all helped a lot to the point where I can speak in public but I always need to push myself through the fear. After the ceremonies I had an opportunity to speak in public and was very pleased to see that I only had a tiny buzz of anxiety that only lasted a few seconds! I now look forward with excitement to future public speaking events.

I have also tried for decades to work on my posture and as I am getting older I experience more back pain because of it. Over the years I have done physiotherapy with exercises, work on retained primitive reflexes (which was the most effective but only helped a little), Alexander Technique and various somatic psychotherapies. However, after one weekend at Amayama my upper middle back is completely normal. My shoulders rest in a downward and backward position as they should with no effort on my part! I look forward to future ceremonies as hopefully they will do the same to my neck and lower back. I was also suffering from a frozen shoulder for months before the ceremonies and there was a very marked improvement soon after I left to the point where I had near normal range in movement.

As I am aging my skin in aging. My love of being outdoors has not helped my skin. I noticed within a couple weeks after the ceremonies that the skin on my forearms looks younger and more hydrated. My eyesight has also improved slightly, not so much that I don’t need glasses but a little which is lovely. I’ll take it! In addition, I noticed that breathing feels freer. I have not had difficulties with breathing and tend to breathe from my belly however after the ceremonies it just felt much freer.

I have noticed other emotional/psychological changes. I get less stressed by work. I am quite efficient and I have not done anything new with regard to this, but I am significantly more efficient! When things go wrong, I still have an emotional reaction to it but it lasts for a very short time and then I move on to a solution much faster.

One weekend working with the medicine is not going to cure every physical, emotional and mental issue I have. However, I was very surprised by how much did change for me and as difficult as the ceremonies were for me spiritually, physically, emotionally and mentally, I look forward to future ceremonies with the experienced and caring support of Axis, Chiara, Vicente and Silvi.

So I've been curious about Ayahuasca for some time now. Three weeks ago, I came across Amayama. At first, I was a bit hesitant, but after reading the reviews, I decided to book the retreat. And how glad am I that I did! The whole experience was absolutely amazing. Axis and Chiara are the most friendly and lovable people. They took the time to really listen to my story and answer any questions or doubts I had. The ceremonies themselves were done very professionally in a specially designed and crafted environment. They made sure everybody felt safe and secure. After the ceremonies, they were always available for integration and any questions we had.

Besides that, the retreat is in a house surrounded by a beautiful, serene garden where you can truly relax and let go. The food is homemade, and let me tell you, it is absolutely delicious. They even made sure to accommodate me with my gluten intolerance.

If you are on a spiritual path or considering the plant medicine, this is the perfect place to go. I feel like I made lifelong friends and am truly grateful to them for their generosity, love, and care they have put into this experience. I myself will make sure to return at some point. Axis, Chiara, and the rest of the Amayama team, thank you!

Amayama family are very welcoming, warm and understanding. I've enjoyed my stay there. The retreat is sacred and reminiscent of the Amazon very beautiful and spacious. I can't recommned them enough

My 5 days retraite in July was a great experience in a safe environment.
The guidance by Chiara and Axis was outstanding and sincerely.
I wish it for everyone to have such an experience…

Die Betreuung ist total herzlich und fürsorglich. Sie kümmern sich sehr gut um Körper und Seele, super Essen und unterstützende Gespräche in Einzel- oder Gruppengespächen. Die Unterkunft ist super schön. Ich habe mich sehr wohl gefühlt und kann es jedem empfehlen!

Words fall short of the amazing work…
Words fall short of the amazing work carried out here!
Attending this Ayahuasca retreat was he most profound and healing experience of my life. It wasn't my first retreat, but was definitely the most rewarding, thanks to Axis and Chiara.
The facilitators supported me on a level that I had never experienced before. Their wisdom and compassion created a space where I felt completely safe and supported.
Since returning home, I still experience the benefits, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. Everyone around me notices the change, I'm lighter, more centred, and more open-hearted.
On top of the medicine, I had an osteopath session with Axis which healed a skin condition that I’ve had for 7 years, that really is a miracle.
If you feel called to Ayahuasca, I 100% recommend this retreat, it's a truly special place and the facilitators are amazing at what they do.

This is a lovely house. Set behind a high wall in established gardens with ancient olive trees and a pond with frogs. It's gorgeous, private, quiet, large with space to be private but also outdoor space to be in groups. The pool looks great but as I went in late spring so it was not in use.

The house is spacious, nicely decorated. I wanted a room of my own so had a very comfortable space with a good bed, peace and privacy. There were 2 big dining spaces for everone to gather and we did! To chat gather and eat. The food was lovely, freshly cooked, varied, always available.

The retreat was do beautifully curated. Axis and Chiara are beautiful people, kind, witty, creative, calm and receptive. This was my second retreat with the same facilitators because it was such a calm, open, experience in which I was accompanied by the guides on my own journey without interference but with loving kindness.

My experience was amazing. Life changing in subtle warm gentle ways that are hard to pinpoint but real and tangible to me. The plant medicine is managed beautifully and curated to one's own needs and desires. Care and consideration is taken and guidance if desired offered in conversation and together.

The group of 10 was amazing. People from across the globe across the ages and from differing backgrounds, heritages, religions and politics and we came together over 5 days to be a collection of people on the same path but on our own journey. Together, alongside each other. We had fun and talked late into the night. There was even dancing.

I can not recommend highly enough the people and the place!

At Casa Tierra Florida I was beautifully held through a deep personal transformation. The house is situated in a wonderful valley of orange blossoms and water springs.
Around it an astonishing garden provides shelter and shade even in the hottest summer, with a pool for a refreshing dive!
Food is offered with love, often in the traditional cuisine of the region.
The team takes to heart the work carried in the retreat and walks the inner personal transformation through and towards real, tangible change in the everyday life.
