Manu National Park is a place where nature seems to be blessed by God, since this Amazonian paradise has the greatest biological biodiversity on the planet; This natural jewel is full of flora, fauna and exuberant landscapes.
The Manu National Park is one of the largest protected areas in the world, with an extension of 1,716,295 hectares (4,241,057 acres). The Manu National Park is important because it protects various zones or ecological levels ranging from 300 to 4,000 meters above sea level (984 to 13,123 feet). The Manu National Park has steep mountains that give rise to an endless number of small and wide valleys; as well as a fabulous cloud forest in the high jungle, which ends when the Amazon plain begins. Thanks to this and much more, the Manu National Park has one of the highest levels of biodiversity in the world. The Manu National Park is a Mega-diverse place!
Ayahuasca is a Quechua word that means “vine of the spirits”. Ayahuasca is a sacred plant, considered magical and medicinal, it is part of the so-called master plants. Ayahuasca is a brew used ritually by shamans, healers or ayahuasca teachers, from Amazonian ethnic groups, with more than five thousand years of knowledge. It is a way to obtain the expansion of consciousness (healing and spiritual reflection), because you connect with the universe and nature. Ayahuasca is not a drug, it is spiritual life, it is a gift from the gods. Ayahuasca is a teacher because it is hard with her teaching but she does it with love, it opens your interior and awakens your being and you are born again; with Ayahuasca you always lose the battle to be reborn stronger, more alive and in communion with life itself. A true inner happiness, because medicine cleanses and heals wounds and scars on the soul; purifies the blood and frees you from diseases (depression and stress; diabetes, kidney stones, among others). You learn to value your life better, you understand your past better, you live better in the present and you project yourself better into the future.
For this ceremony it will be necessary to follow a diet free of meat (especially red meat), fats and beverages that contain caffeine. A fruit-based diet would be ideal. Stop scientific medicine days before the Ayahuasca ceremony. (The Ayahuasca ritual ceremony can last from 4 to 7 hours).
