Iquitos, Peru - November 14, 2025 / Blue Morpho /
Loreto, Peru–Blue Morpho has established itself as the leading destination for authentic plant medicine healing experiences in the Amazon rainforest. Operating from Iquitos, Peru, for over two decades, the retreat center has guided more than 15,000 individuals through life-changing healing journeys under the guidance of Maestro Hamilton Souther.
The retreat center's founder became the world's only Western-recognized Maestro Medico Vegetalista after training directly with Don Julio Llerena Pinedo in the deep Amazon forest. This unique qualification allows him to offer authentic ceremonial experiences that honor traditional indigenous practices while maintaining modern safety standards.
Safe Ayahuasca Retreats with Proven Track Record
Blue Morpho has developed industry-leading safety protocols for safe Ayahuasca Retreats over its 24-year history. The center conducts thorough medical screening for all participants. Emergency procedures and local medical facility relationships provide additional safety layers for every ceremony.
The retreat's approach combines traditional Maloca ceremonial spaces with modern amenities and safety features. Participants receive extensive preparation, including dietary guidelines, ceremony education, and mental preparation support. This foundation allows individuals to approach their plant medicine healing journey with confidence and proper preparation.
Plant Medicine Healing Programs in the Amazon
Located in Iquitos, Peru, the retreat center provides direct access to sacred plants in their natural Amazon habitat. This authentic setting allows participants to work with fresh plant materials while maintaining the energetic connection between healers and the forest environment.
The retreat offers both Ayahuasca ceremonies and San Pedro retreat experiences, providing multiple approaches to plant medicine healing. Each program addresses different healing needs and participant comfort levels while maintaining the same high safety standards and traditional authenticity.
Traditional Ceremonies with Modern Safety Standards
The ceremonial approach at Blue Morpho balances respect for indigenous traditions with participant safety requirements. Experienced facilitators monitor each participant throughout ceremonies while providing guidance and support as needed. The facilitator-to-participant ratio allows for individual attention during life-altering experiences.
San Pedro retreat programs take place in natural outdoor settings during daylight hours, allowing participants to connect with earth and sun energies. These gentler ceremonies provide an approachable introduction to plant medicine work while maintaining profound healing potential.
