Looking for ayahuasca in Medellín? Safe, authentic retreats are located 45–90 minutes outside the city in the mountains of Antioquia. Camino al Sol offers three traditional Ayahuasca ceremonies with experienced facilitators, medical screening, integration support, and transportation from Medellín or the airport.
There are other retreats near Medellín. Here's what makes this one different.
Your guides aren't facilitators trained in a recent certification program. They are Colombian taitas who have worked with Ayahuasca for decades within a living indigenous tradition.
Ceremonies are kept intentionally small. You won't be one of thirty people in a tent. The support before, during, and after is real.
Traditional ancestral music guides every ceremony — live, not a playlist. It's one of the most distinct elements of the Colombian Ayahuasca tradition.
The longest-running center in Antioquia for foreign visitors. That continuity means refined process, not experimentation.
“Everything is done with love. The families who live on the territory are very welcoming and do an amazing job creating a safe environment.”
“The entire staff worked in concert ensuring a safe, positive, and enriching experience. The preparation and integration support made all the difference.”
“My life will never be the same. I'd been carrying the heaviest boulders before this trip and I didn't realize how much energy it was taking to barely tread water.”

We keep groups small so every participant receives close support before, during, and after ceremony.
“I have never learned more about myself than over these ceremonies. Life changing doesn't even fully articulate the experience.”
