Before participating in my first Blue Morpho ayahuasca tour, I was a concept to myself. Not a false concept, but still only a concept. My understanding of myself had been built on years of trying to figure out who I was, what I was good at, what I had come to achieve. I had pretty much explored all tools available to me and had reached a relative level of balance and success. I had gathered a lot of information. Put myself through a lot of challenging experiences. And here I was, this interesting multi-dimensional concept, that felt dead inside. During my week in Iquitos, I was given the gift of the experience of myself. I was offered the blessing of the experience of true love and the peace that comes with it. I received insight on the workings of my mind and how to put it at the service of my experience instead of the other way around. I have never felt so alive as I do today after this extraordinary experience. I am in motion again, moving onwards on the path of this incredible journey that is life. I feel immense gratitude towards Blue Morpho shamans and team for creating a safe and protected environment for this life-transforming experience. I have felt supported, loved and accepted every step of the way. The camp is set in a unique environment, conducive to a communion with nature and yourself; it is beautiful and intimate. The team is friendly, cheerful, discrete and customer-oriented. Food is delicious. Finally, I am blessed with many new friends who have reminded me how beautiful and vibrant our human connection is.
Before even meeting the team, or making the life changing acquaintance with ayahuasca, I could feel I was in a place that is made up of one thing and one thing only, and that is love. The entire Blue Morpho experience allows a person to feel completely comfortable, safe and at ease to begin a journey of healing and discovery. Every small detail of what I went through – of making the journey to Iquitos, of meeting the most amazing team on earth, of being guided through the ceremonies, of being given the wealth of insights just by being there and by awakening to the divine force within through the medicine – was filled with love and understanding. The camp and facilities are amazing. Everything is put in place so that visitors only have one thing to do and that is to relax and enjoy the healing of the beautiful, magical yet oh so real and sometimes challenging ayahuasca medicine. At Blue Morpho you discover your truth, and you can discover the universe of wisdom and the universe itself. It was incredibly hard for me to leave after a week of receiving and finding divine love. But the most amazing thing is that you get to take it all with you. Because the love and the medicine never leave.
Two years ago I visited Blue Morpho for the first time and came back twice since then in search of deeper internal shifts. The trip to Peru itself is the most magical experience one can think of: the peacefulness of the jungle, the safe feel of the camp, the beauty of the ceremonies, the kindness of Blue Morpho team – all have stayed with me. As did the medicine, that has guided me ever since and has helped me heal a lot of emotional and even physical issues. Not only I was able to let go of a lot of pain from the past relationships but also my health improved greatly: untreatable – according to my doctors – autoimmune condition just disappeared, and I was able to overcome drug and alcohol addictions. I look forward to returning to Blue Morpho and continuing my journey soon!
I would not entrust my soul journeys and my healing process to anyone else. Going for a BM retreat is a pilgrimage for me, a special secret on my path of becoming a better human being and contributing to this world my best. BM has been reviewed by so many media organizations and has such an incredible safety record. This and the recommendation of a friend was what drew me to it. The sharing, advice, guidance and communion that I receive there is what keeps me going back. What an incredible place with an incredible team. Love my journeys to the moon and back and can’t wait to go back there. The connection with the BM team is very personal and they know how to handle the journey of all of us in the group, to mediate the energies of a ceremony, to guide and assist everyone’s journey when it gets tough and when it’s elated. I cherish those days and conversations so much! Thank you, BM for all that you do and for the devotion everyone on the team has to making this a better, more healed world.
The overall experience at Blue Morpho was the safest and supportive environment to work with sacred plant medicine that I could have ever imagined! The staff upheld the highest level of integrity for our community, and the plant medicine was pure and prepared in the traditional manner with the sacredness, respect, and love. We received an abundance of information, instruction, support, and guidance, before, during, and after the retreat. The retreat location was pristine, clean, comfortable, and anything that was needed was available and provided for. The food was fresh, delicious, generously and beautifully prepared with respect to individual and dietary needs. The extra tours and yoga classes were a welcome addition to soothe the soul! Above and beyond the creature comforts, there was a sense that everything was infused with genuine kindness, caring, and compassion. The healing and transformation that took place was life-changing… We not only participated in the journey, we became the journey!
I came to Blue Morpho with a broken heart. My husband of 14 years and I had abruptly split up nine months prior. I was completely blindsided by it. I knew that I loved him like I knew the sky was blue; it was an absolute truth. I was devastated. In the months since, I had been in so much pain. I couldn’t feel anything else. I couldn’t process anything else, I couldn’t rest, I couldn’t sit still. I was expending time and energy on things that were not serving me, anything to distract myself from the howling hole in my heart. I had become angry, and my relationship with my ex had deteriorated to a point that we couldn’t even have a conversation anymore without it exploding into a fight.
My first ceremony felt like ripping my heart out all over again. I cried the entire time. It was like re-living our breakup. It was so gutwrenchingly painful; I could feel myself splitting open inside. But I also gained a lot of insight. I saw how hard I had been on him at various points in our marriage, how little sympathy and compassion I had given him at times when he was struggling. For the first time, I really allowed myself to see the role that I had played in our undoing and to feel accountability and remorse for that. I also realized that I don’t have to stop loving him. I think part of what had been stifling me was trying to stop those feelings. The ayahuasca showed me that I don’t have to. That I love him so so much and that’s what my heart wants to do. Even if our marriage didn’t work out, I can still continue to love this beautiful human being. Because I do.
I went into my second ceremony with a sense of dread because I didn’t want to feel all that hurt again. The shamanic team encouraged us to talk to the ayahuasca and to ask for what we need. I asked – no, begged – the ayahuasca to go easy on me that night. And it did. I still cried a bit, but not the whole time, and then the medicine actually felt very gentle and soothing, raining beautiful patterns on the backs of my eyelids and sending delicate crystalline currents through my body. I felt safely embraced and tenderly nurtured. The first night was like ripping open and the second night was like a gentle irrigation of the wound.
On the third night, I had a profoundly beautiful heart opening. The ayahuasca was strong and it felt good. I actually felt a little guilty, like I wasn’t doing any work, I was just enjoying the sensations. I was listening to maestro singing (he has this deep, resonant, wonderful voice) and he was moving these huge torrents of energy around the room and through all of us, SO powerful, and he was just dancing with it. I was filled with so much awe and reverence for the amount of knowledge and understanding and respect that he has for this medicine. It was so beautiful and amazing! As the ceremony intensified, I had the sensation of being energetically deconstructed – as though all of my pieces were held in suspended animation – and I felt this incredible movement of glorious energy wash through me. I felt the blockage in my heart move! That thing that had been stifling me like a cork MOVED! It was gone. I took the deepest breath I had taken in nine months. I could instantly feel my own energy flowing clean and unobstructed. It’s the most beautiful thing that has ever happened to me. I am so grateful. Even as I’m typing this, tears are welling up again, because I am so so so thankful to have my happiness back. This experience has been the most incredible gift. I am humbled, awestruck, and forever grateful.
Thank you.
Team: I rate a 120 score for the team – all of them are a very professional, pure-hearted, and lovely people. I received support far beyond from what I expected, they constantly listened to me and they paid attention to everything I needed. They surprised me over and over again.
Medicine: in my experience, it was a very hard and long process with a lot of crying and screaming, to be honest… I felt that I made my transition in the first night’s ceremony and all the rest was just a bonus for me. In addition to Ayahuasaca, I felt that I cleaned all the major part of my emotional pain, fear and blocks in my life.
Surrounding: just perfect. In my retreat all of the participants were very good, quality people. For me it felt like “heaven.”
Facilities: everything was far beyond my expectations.
Information: from the first correspondence with Blue Morpho until after the retreat ended, I received full guidance, and they helped me with every kind of questions that I asked them. I have nothing but deep love, admiration and gratitude to Blue Morpho.
It’s not just – drink this. This is the real deal, plus a few creature comforts (food!), and most importantly an epic team that will take care of you through your transformation, not only in the jungle, but once you return from the jungle and continue your transformation at home as well. I can’t give this place enough stars. Infinite Stars! This is the best place on Earth!

I have attended 4 different retreats with Blue Morpho, the most recent of which occurred in November of 2016, and I am already signed up for 2 more visits for 2017. Everything has always been top notch on all points. I have zero reservations in recommending Blue Morpho to my friends or family.
The team is great and offers as much or as little hand-holding or discussion that you want. Everyone from the ceremonial staff to the people behind the scenes that make everything run smoothly are very nice and super professional. It is the reason I have been down as many times as I have and the reason why I plan to be down many many more times. Keep in mind it is the jungle but the surroundings and facilities are beautiful. The rules and what is available onsite is very clear, fair, and consistent.
The information offered before the journey, during the week, and then afterwards in terms of integration was not lacking. I’ve found that I get out of the conversations/discussions/talks whatever I put into it and over time have encouraged myself to participate more and more. As I have pushed myself the staff has been present and skillfully aware at helping me navigate my own journey. I would recommend this organization to anyone without reservation.
Anyway I thought I should let you all know that at Blue Morpho I had a healing…for about a year I’ve had this weird discoloration on my stomach, and it always reminded me of a pre cancer mark, so I was juicing and trying to be extra healthy to get rid of it. (Since I don’t do doctors, I have no way of knowing for sure what it was). Anyway, when I’d do a lot of juicing it would get lighter, and when I would kind of binge snk snk snk, it would get darker. I was disappointed that I wasn’t making much head way with it.
When I got back from Iquitos, I had this inner voice tell me to take a look, that it would be gone. I have no idea how this could have happened, or why even that an inner voice told me to do that. So I went to the mirror and was shocked to see not a trace. I was so incredulous that I almost put a mark there just by trying to examine the area where the mark had been. So TA DAH!! I’ve been SAVED!!! LOL Wheeeeeeeeee!
Blue Morpho has created a beautiful, sacred space, safe from the outside world, in the heart of the incredible jungle. I loved my time there, and will always cherish my memories of the place. Everything was planned out nicely and executed with an attention to detail and a loving touch. I learned a great deal at Blue Morpho and am now awakened to the possibilities of the spirit world. I will return someday!
A friend introduced me to Ayahuasca and Blue Morpho. I did not know a thing about Aya at that time, but it strongly resonated and felt the right thing and the right timing for me. 3 months after the first talks I was in the jungle (December 2016).
Yes, the experience is a life changer, and believe me, it is not the vocabulary a French person usually uses (yes I am French).
Yes, the staff is amazing, all of them. So much love and dedication, so rare nowadays. 24/24, 7/7 you can talk to them and they will genuinely take the time to go through your questions or doubts or fears or joys.
Yes, you feel extremely safe, free to focus on your journey. You probably have read horror stories on the web, none of this can possibly happen at Blue Morpho. They are there for you, watching your back.
Yes, you feel at home, because you are safe, but also because Blue Morpho shamans are tuned into western world and approach the experience in a way you can handle it.
Yes the food is great! Uttermost importance for a French. It is such a relief after a rough night to get some treats and reward your body and mind.
Yes the medicine stays with you and works with you way after you have left Peru. I am still being woken up at night by flows of energy working in my body. The Integration pack created by Blue Morpho helps me to go on with that work.
Yes, I would gladly come back and without any hesitation I recommend Blue Morpho.
I’ve been to Blue Morpho for six different plant medicine journeys:
– 4 ayahuasca
– 1 San Pedro (huachuma)
– Sanango
I will continue to go back as the medicine calls me. The reason is that you can not find a more experienced staff and retreat program than Blue Morpho.
They take great care in evaluating each guest who applies to attend a journey. And then take great care to empower each guest with information about arriving to Iquitos or Cusco prior to their arrival.
Going to a third world country, and into a city that is surrounded by the jungle and is chaotic with the number of people that live there, can be intimidating. But the Blue Morpho team make sure new guests are prepared for what to expect.
You will see many return guests at Blue Morpho. There is a reason for that. The team, the accommodations, the education about the medicine, the medicine experience in ceremony… They all create a wonderful experience that provides growth in an individual.
I’ve personally brought three people with me over the years that were ready to experience the medicine. I hope to do it again in the future. And I will definitely be back myself. I hope to see you “in the space” too!
