The Ayahuasca Ceremonies

Alice, Sandro and their entire team of support made our stay incredibly comfortable.

They were responsive to every need, and we truly felt the experience was tailored to our interests.

We felt embraced as part of their extended family — held with love and care throughout our time there.

The whole experience was holistic and thoughtfully curated, helping us to fully relax.

We highly recommend this experience to anyone wanting to connect with nature and grow spiritually.

It was a truly special week here. Alice was an amazing host, organizing everything seamlessly and creating a relaxed, flexible schedule with no pressure. I really enjoyed the yoga and Alice even arranged a Spanish lesson after I mentioned my interest in learning the language which was very thoughtful.

Eliana is a very special woman with deep wisdom. Along with the support of Paula, she made me feel safe, comfortable, and supported during the ayahuasca ceremony and in opening up emotionally.

I genuinely felt that Alice, Eliana and Paula truly cared and wanted to help, generously giving their time and energy. Their care and support continue even after the retreat.

The accommodation was very comfortable and the food was excellent.

I would highly recommend a retreat here.

Thank you Alice, Eliana and Co.

The peaceful setting—nestled in the mountains with breathtaking ocean views—made each morning magical, waking to vibrant sunrises and birdsong. The retreat felt like home, with kind, beautiful souls ensuring every moment was special. The ayahuasca ceremony with Eliana and Paula was the most spiritual, heart-opening experience of my life. Truly unforgettable. I’m deeply grateful and already looking forward to returning next year for more healing and connection.

Una súper experiencia que todos deberían hacer, si quieres renovar y tomar tiempo para ti

Incredible, incredible experience with Alice and her partner Sandro. I was searching for a healing, quiet and spiritual experience in Palomino and reached out to her on last minute whim...she accommodated my dates, arrival and made a custom itinerary for me all within being 10 days post partum!!! A truly incredible person. The accommodation is up one a steep hill and away from the town so if you are seeking peace and stunning scenery this is the place. The activities were varied, healing and well curated everything from massage to paddleboard to plant fragrance. If you feel called to do a ceremony then you are in the best hands (and place in the world) with the Shamana Eliana, truly a life changing experience (I mean it!). I would recommend booking a few nights at a quiet location after (either with Eliana by the sea or Alice up in the mountains) to rest and soak up your learnings. My only regret was not staying longer.

I have never felt so welcome in a new country. The organization of this retreat has been flawless, warm and truly inspirational. I can confidently say that my life has changed ever since I met Eliana and Alice (in the most positive way). I would recommend anyone who is interested in ancestral medicine or yoga to book this retreat and prepare for an unforgettable experience.

our 4 days in the Sierra Nevada area provided many lasting memories. A custom itinerary of yoga and other activities. Beautiful views, such a peaceful destination. Opportunities to learn about different and interesting aspects of the local culture and traditions, meeting local artists. Bonfire nights. Great date/booking flexibility. Healthy fresh food. The people were friendly kind and accommodating. Thank you Alice and company !!

Todas las actividades incluidas estuvieron muy buenas y muy cheveres.

Everything was perfect. The hosts, the place, the ceremonies, teachers and therapists. This place and this stay will have a special place in my heart forever. Thank you for all Alice, Eliana and all the team.

The peaceful private bungalow was amazing! Helpful staff always attentive for any need. The shaman Eliana is a special person with a lot of knowledge ready to share her over 20 years of experience. Sweet Liney always around with yoga and quality healthy food. All in all a very good experience!

Very well organised overall, very private and authentic. All instructors involved are extremely nice and knowledgeable.

The time we spent with Alice and Eliana was amazing. It felt like an honor and privilege to experience first hand the world of plant medicines, carefully guided by a highly experienced curandera. This is not a conveyor belt retreat, rather, it is done in small groups (we were 3 and 4 participants in our sessions) and with great attention given to each individual.

Alice was incredibly accommodating for the entire duration of our stay. Casa Gaia is a beautiful little place, a lush garden with hummingbirds, butterflies, leaf cutter ants and so much more of nature’s wonders.

The food was surprisingly tasteful despite following a strict “dieta”.

Alice is an amazing host and yoga instructor. The cabanas are perfect, clean and comfortable.

From even before I arrived Alice was so welcoming and had organised everything to perfection. The food was nutritious and high quality, the accommodation was simple but nice, in a gorgeous wooden cabin. Alice helped me feel comfortable when I was nervous about the ayahuasca ceremonies, and made me feel safe in whatever I shared. And I was so glad I made the decision to go with a female shaman, Eli was truly wonderful. I felt so lucky and grateful to have had private ceremonies with Alice and Eli - they were both so wonderful guiding me through a difficult ceremony the first night especially. The ceremony setting by the beach meant it wasn’t too hot and it was comfortable due to the breeze. I feel like I can never thank them both enough for all they gave me in my week there. If you’re going to do ayahuasca - do it here.

Las personas que conocí y los lugares en la montaña, así como su cultura.

I had a wonderful time, full of new interesting things and personal growth :) Alice is very carrying and gives a feeling of a safe space. Thank you for everything!

I love this retreat! I booked it just to getaway and relax from my busy life but I left feeling rejuvenated and healed from my childhood trauma (unexpectedly)

Thank you, Alice! You are such an angel sent on earth to help heal the world. I appreciate you so much!

I highly recommend this retreat!

We loved everything - from the passion from Alice, the various activities, the delicious food, the friendly staff, the dogs and the 2 parrots, the beautiful bridge through the mangroves, the location at the beach and much more.

I really loved and enjoyed this yoga retreat. Alice is a wonderful person and an amazing yoga teacher. During the days of the retreat we had classes of different yoga styles combined with various ceremonies and meditation. These days were really grounding for me. Above all, it was a safe space where you could feel very comfortable. Also the retreat is taking place in a nice accommodation (with nice staff and vegan food) at the beach.

I recommend this yoga retreat 10/10. I can’t wait to participate in one of Alice‘ classes or retreats again! All the best.

Honestly I loved everything about this retreat, I flew all the way from New York just for this retreat and it delivered everything it promised and so much more. This has become one of my favorite yoga retreats (trust me, I've been to many). Beyond grateful for Alice, she went above and beyond with so much love & light. the accommodation was beautiful, the hotel staff, the chefs, the beautiful location & all the other extra people and activities were perfect. I felt very safe here, I never locked my door. It was an honor being here. Beyond grateful. Highly recommend.

Found this retreat by chance and very glad for it. Alice, the yoga instructor and creator of this yoga concept, is not only a great teacher but is also dedicated to sharing the wisdom and spirituality of the native people of the Sierra Nevadas. The retreat is extremely well balanced with a mix of physical activities every morning, changing daily with yoga, fitness training, martial arts, free dancing and more. The rest of the day is focused on discovery activities such as speaking to a spiritual leader or shaman, meeting with members of the Kogui native people or a silent walk in the woods. It’s very important to go into the retreat with an open mind as you will be amazed time and time again.

The setting is simply unbelievable. Imagine a wide open complex with a fine sand beach and the turquoise waters of the Caribbean! The yoga studio is completely open to the surrounding nature and you get to practice with the sound of the waves crashing onto the sand. Truly amazing!

The facilities are on the rustic side but impeccably clean and tastefully furnished. The food we were served was 100% vegetarian and very tasty, though a bit heavy on the carb side to my liking, but that might just be my impression. The kitchen crew is super friendly and accommodating, always dancing and singing and having a good time, and this shows in the food they prepare.

I highly recommend this retreat! It has bot only yoga, but do much more!

From start to finish this retreat with Alice was so beautiful and powerful. Alice brought her authentic and enlightened personality into each day and was able to bring the culture and the spirit of Columbia closer to all of us. It was so much joy to attend her classes and workshops that she prepared. Such an amazing and wonderful experience. I would like more of those retreats. Have a mixture of yoga and culture backgrounds.

The eco hotel was beautiful. The beach area might need more comfortable sunbeds or more hammock.

The food was amazing, absolutely delicious. A big thank you to chef Sebastian. He made all wishes come true.

Thank you for this exceptional amazing and authentic experience. Special thanks to Alice and her team. Keep up this great work.

Alice was a wonderful leader who brought together a rich programming of movement, music, and ancestral teachings. Loved how we were able to experience so much diversity in perspective from the local community and participate in some unique workshops that I wouldn't have expected. Alice is a gentle soul filled with a lot of passion and wisdom, and she took extra care to make sure each of her guests had a personally tailored experience that was enjoyable and expansive. Can't recommend this retreat enough and the village of Palomino is a magical place! We kept extending our trip and vow to return one day soon to relive the magic of the land surrounding the Sierra Nevada mountains. Thank you Alice!!

Eine wundervolle Erfahrung in einer verständnisvollen Gruppe

Viele Aktivitäten zusätzlich zu den Yoga Stunden

Alice hat sich sehr viel Mühe gegeben uns abwechslungsreiche Stunden zu bereiten.

Wow I can’t speak highly enough about this retreat!! Alice is such a beautiful human and facilitated such a breadth of activities and work shops. We did everything from yoga, to vegan desert making, to kirtan chanting, to bonfires, to drum circles, to a ceremony with sacred indigenous medicines, to silent walks on the beach. I feel so in touch with myself and with nature after this retreat. The vegetarian food was delish and fresh, the accommodations were cute, the service at the hotel was awesome. The location could not be more ideal, nestled in the middle of rugged ocean/amazon coastline. Truly a remarkable and heart opening experience. I can’t recommend this enough

Gute Organisation, tolle Kurse und Workshops in denen man eine Reise zu sich selbst antritt, super gutes und gesundes Essen ( toller Koch) , herzliche und liebevolle Menschen, tolle Unterkunft die mit allem ausgestattet war, danke an Alice, die dieses Erlebnis für uns so besonders gemacht hat

This was a beautiful retreat! An opportunity to slow down and focus on the breath again. Self care, self love, community, cultural immersions, delicious food, amazing location, and Alice & her team are incredible! Thank you!
