Ayahuasca Retreat in Colombia — MahaDevi
Authentic Yagé Ceremonies in Putumayo. Jungle Luxury. 30-Day Integration.
You have done the research. You have been sitting with this decision longer than you want to admit. This page is not here to convince you that Ayahuasca works. It is here to show you what a Yagé retreat in Colombia looks like when every single detail has been built around one thing: giving you the conditions to do the deepest work of your life.
Led by Taita Miguel Mavisoy
Camsá Tribe, Putumayo
Three Ways to Experience a MahaDevi Yagé Retreat
The ceremony is the same. The medicine is the same. Taita Miguel leads every retreat. What changes is the depth of engagement you choose and the level of comfort you come home to each night.
The Retreat The MahaDevi Retreat
The complete Yagé retreat experience. Three Ayahuasca ceremonies in Colombia led by Taita Miguel, your choice of Cooked or Crudo Yagé, the full ceremony program from Rapé through Cacao, the Fin del Mundo hike, daily sharing circles, one-on-one sessions, and 30 days of integration support after you leave. Nothing is missing from this retreat. It is what we built MahaDevi to be.

Most Comprehensive MahaDevi + Extended Integration
Everything in the MahaDevi Retreat, plus a dedicated extended integration journey after you return home. You are personally matched with the right integration specialist for your specific experience, your background, and your goals. Extended one-on-one sessions continue the work long after the ceremonies end. For the person who understands that the ceremony opens the door and integration is what you do with what you find on the other side.

The Medicine Maker Retreat
On certain retreats, a small number of participants are invited into the preparation of the medicine they will later drink in ceremony. You will learn the Camsá way of working with the vine. The identification, the cleaning, the pounding, the layering, and the intention that enters the brew at every stage. When you sit in ceremony holding medicine that your own hands helped prepare, under a 12-generation lineage in the region where this medicine was born, something shifts before the first song is even sung.

Retreat ParticipantIs This Your First Ayahuasca Retreat in Colombia?
Good. We built this Yagé retreat for you too.
The most common fear is the physical experience. The nausea, the purging, the intensity of losing control over your body for a night. It is a real and reasonable concern. It is also exactly why MahaDevi offers something most retreats in Colombia do not.
Crudo Yagé is a raw, uncooked preparation used in Yagé ceremonies in Colombia, unique to the highlands of Putumayo. Dramatically gentler on the body. Less physical intensity. Significantly less nausea. The same spiritual depth. Taita Miguel's Crudo is known throughout Putumayo for being what people describe as "sweet medicine."
For first-time participants, Crudo changes everything. You are not fighting your body through the ceremony. You are present for it.
Beyond the medicine choice, MahaDevi's preparation process exists specifically so you do not arrive unprepared. By the time you walk into the maloka for the first ceremony, you will have been held by this team for weeks.
A Week Designed to Take You Somewhere New
Every day at MahaDevi has a purpose. Rest when the medicine asks you to rest. Go inward when it is time to go inward. Walk into the highland Amazon when the forest calls you out.
Each day is structured so you never have to think about what comes next. Your only job is to show up.

Our Venue and Location
The highland Amazon near Mocoa, Putumayo — the heartland of Colombian Yagé tradition. Cooler, drier, and dramatically fewer mosquitoes than lowland jungle camps. A private waterfall, river-view cabins, a swimming pool, and a ceremonial maloka surrounded by primary rainforest. This is where the medicine has always lived.
Explore Our VenueOur Team and Healers
Taita Miguel Mavisoy of the Camsá tribe, 12 generations of unbroken lineage. Ania Halama, Lead Facilitator with over 300 lived ceremonies. Yasha Shah, Founder and Director. A team built around one purpose: holding this work with care.
