An adventure for the most sophisticated seekers. During our trip, we will have time to get acquainted with several traditions of Ayahuasca ceremonies at once. We will visit different towns and villages of the indigenous people of the Acre region. The path that we will take will transform you, change your life and serve as a starting point for your new future.
To start our journey, it is necessary to arrive in Brazil, Rio Branco, no later than 12/23/2024. Our journey will start from the capital of the state of Acre - Rio Branco. Here our group will meet and spend a few days to get acquainted with several traditions. On the first day we will visit the Centro de Cura Tete Pawã, which combines the traditions of UMBANDA, XAMANISMO and HUNIKUIN at its ceremonies. A ceremony at this center on the day of arrival will open the doors to the Amazon Forest for us. The next day we will get acquainted with the city, and at night we will attend the mass of the religious community of Santo Daime. The participants of the mass drink ayahuasca and communicate with the spirits, often through the bodies of those who enter into a deep trance, the spirits talk. Be prepared for this.
The next day we will spend on the road from Rio Branco to the neighboring town in the depths of Acre Tarahuaca. This city is considered the capital of giant pineapples (abakashi). And also here is the most natural ice cream made from Acai berries. We'll have time to rest a little. To go to the HUNI KUIN Indigenous Festival the next day.
The festival in honor of the birthday of the village leader Assis Kaxinawa Cacique Hani Kun, will last a week. Throughout the week, various ceremonies are waiting for us, including the Ayahuasca ceremony, which will take place every day.

Get ready to plunge into the simple rural life of the Brazilian hinterland. Along with the fact that you will face difficulties and exit from your comfort zone, you will also meet with another completely different from the life of people we are used to, and different from the world we are used to. On the road, we will need two expressions that the locals constantly repeat: Só alegria (only joy) and Segura firme (hold on tight). By itself, a trip without experience with Ayahuasca will be the beginning of something new in your life.
What to expect from this trip
In the Acre region there are deadly viruses that are carried by mosquitoes, so before you plan a trip, you need to get vaccinated against yellow fever and molaria. It is also necessary to have a vaccination against covid, since the Huni Kuin people tolerate this virus very poorly. The weather in the Acre region during the festival period can be from +15 to +40 degrees. Therefore, it is necessary to stock up on sunscreen. It is also necessary to stock up on an anti-mosquito agent and an anti-allergic agent. Mosquito bites should never be combed, otherwise microorganisms can get into the wounds. Redness from bites is an allergic reaction and an anti-allergic remedy relieves itching and redness well. If you decide to swim in local rivers, then you should not have open wounds, so as not to attract predatory fish and amphibians. It is also impossible to relieve yourself in water during bathing, since at this moment microorganisms are attached to the urethra. During the ceremonies in the village itself, you can not go into the forest.
