Wellness Retreat – 4 Days / 3 Nights

HOW TO BOOK: TWO WAYS TO STAY AT KUYANA

Package (this page): Accommodation, all meals, guided activities, entrance fees, and a welcome drink — everything listed below, from dinner on arrival to breakfast on departure. This is the easiest way to experience Kuyana without planning each detail yourself.
 
Room Only: Just the room, no meals or activities included. Best if you’re planning your own itinerary or staying longer than a set package. Book directly on our Rooms page.
 

Who This Is For

The full retreat — more time between each practice, more space between each release. Yoga every morning, a visit to a Quechua family, a ceremony with a shaman, and a final walk to the waterfalls before planting your own closing gesture. Best for those who need more than a weekend to truly slow down. 

What to Expect

Three nights by the Hollín River, where each day carries its own intention — not just an activity, but a purpose. Every stay begins with dinner on arrival and ends with breakfast before departure. Nothing here rushes.

Itinerary

Day 1 – Arrival & Welcome Walk Check-in opens at 3:00 PM.

Dinner is included tonight.

Welcome to your home for the next 4 days. You’re welcomed with a native drink — a symbolic gesture of connection with the Amazon. Our host will walk you through the lodge and your stay; take a moment to settle in and let the sounds of the jungle guide you into presence.

Afterward, a gentle walk along the Guitarracocha Trail — named after a local legend of guitar-like sounds near its lagoon — is your first real approach to the forest. It leads to Kuyana Island and a viewpoint over the Hollín River: an ideal place to slow down, breathe, and begin reconnecting. (Easy walk, roughly 1.5 hours — adjusted to your group’s pace)

Dinner is served at 7:00 PM — a farm-to-table meal made with ingredients from Kuyana’s gardens and nearby communities. Every flavor tells a story of the forest and its people — a gentle welcome to your process of renewal.

Day 2 – Yoga, Waterfall & Cleansing Ceremony

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are included today.

The day starts between 6:30 and 7:00 AM with a yoga and meditation session, wrapped in the calm of the forest — gentle movements that release tension, followed by a brief mindfulness practice to align your inner rhythm with the forest’s.

Breakfast is served from 7:30 AM. At 9:00 AM, the walk to the Ushpayacu Waterfalls sets out — not a goal to reach, but a walk of purification: the path follows springs and living water, and every step invites you to let go of something you no longer need to carry. (Difficulty 3 out of 5, roughly 3 hours total, including the swim and the return — adjusted to your group’s pace) This waterfall is fed entirely by natural springs from the area, with no river tributary upstream — clean water at its source. Reaching the natural pool involves climbing a short rock wall, about 4 meters; the water that meets you there works like a closing ritual — it’s not just refreshing, it’s letting go.

Back at the lodge, take your time to change before lunch.

Your 30-minute massage — by the river or at the Tree House — is included in this package; ask at the front desk to arrange a time that suits you.

Dinner is served at 6:00 PM. Afterward, gather by the campfire under the stars to meet a traditional healer from a nearby community. Through chants, aromatic plants, and ritual, take part in a spiritual cleansing ceremony — an intimate moment to release energy and reconnect with the healing essence of the Amazon.

Day 3 – A Quechua Family, Cooking & Night Walk

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are included today.

The day starts between 6:30 and 7:00 AM with a yoga and meditation session focused on grounding and gratitude.

Breakfast is served from 7:30 AM. At 9:30 AM, a short walk takes you to visit a Quechua family’s chacra — a space to learn about essential oils, medicinal plants, and the work behind Kuyana’s Reforestation Project, told by the people who live it firsthand. There’s no fixed script here: the visit runs 1 to 2 hours, depending on how much you and the family want to share.

You’re back at Kuyana for lunch.

At 5:30 PM, join an Amazon cooking class: you’ll prepare part of tonight’s dinner — maito and chontacuro — followed by hands-on chocolate-making with native cacao. The rest of the meal comes from Kuyana’s kitchen, served at 7:00 PM.

After dinner, a guided night walk invites you to let go of sight — the sense we rely on most during the day — and let hearing and smell take over. Frogs, insects, a forest that behaves differently once no one’s watching the clock. (Easy walk, roughly 1 hour)

Day 4 – Planting Your Legacy

Breakfast is included before you leave.

Your final morning begins with an unhurried breakfast — one last moment of stillness surrounded by nature.

Before departure, join Kuyana’s Reforestation Project along the Hollín River. Plant a native tree as a closing gesture — your own contribution to the Amazon’s regeneration, and the exact place where something of the forest stays with you.

Check-out is at 11:00 AM — if you have time to spare, use it at your own pace: a dip in the pool, or a short, self-guided walk around the lodge.

You leave not just rested, but renewed — carrying the peace and clarity the forest offers to those who actually stop to listen.
