Kambo Wellness Center offers private therapeutic retreats for adults seeking meaningful change as they navigate trauma and life transitions. They welcome clients worldwide to their beachfront property for 1 to 7 days of safe, structured work grounded in sacred ancestral practices and plant medicines. Clients who haven’t found lasting progress through traditional approaches reconnect with their essence, release emotional blockages, and awaken inner truth naturally and consciously.

Combine Ancestral Wisdom with Advanced Therapies

Each Kambo retreat features professionally guided journeys using one or more psychedelic and empathogenic medicines, including ibogaine, psilocybin, MDMA, and DMT. Depending on the retreat, clients will also participate in private psychotherapy, group hypnotherapy, yoga, sound healing, breathwork, cold plunges, and massage. Clients also have opportunities to connect with nature on horseback or snorkeling expeditions. Kambo crafts every ceremony, ritual, and activity to help clients embody healing, integrate insights, and anchor their growth.

Relax in All-Inclusive Beachfront Luxury

Clients fly into Puerto Vallarta Airport, where they are greeted and transported to Kambo’s resort-like facility in Nayarit, one of Mexico’s safest tourist regions. Comforts include private rooms, each with a bathroom and air conditioning, and a chef-crafted menu focused on anti-inflammatory, plant-forward cuisine. The facility offers plenty of restful spaces, including a balcony with lounge chairs, outdoor dining, multiple pools and hot tubs, and private beach access.

Prepare to Maintain Transformation at Home

Integration is essential to lasting change, so Kambo provides psychologist-led group sessions to process key moments while the experience is fresh and how to apply insights to daily life. Afterward, four weeks of aftercare includes two 1:1 psychotherapy sessions and the option to continue with remote psychotherapy sessions to support accountability, reinforce progress, and sustain transformation back home.

Commit to Deep, Guided Work
Commit to Deep, Guided Work
Kambo’s retreats are designed for adults willing to fully engage in the preparation and integration required of this work. Their private, structured care is suitable for navigating trauma, PTSD, grief, burnout, or a major life transition. The retreats are not for recreational participation, crisis care, or anyone unwilling to complete screening, preparation, or aftercare.
Feel Safe in Skilled Hands
Feel Safe in Skilled Hands
Kambo provides a professional environment for deep therapeutic work with appropriate medical monitoring in place. Each retreat is supported by a medical assistance team including doctors, nurses, and staff trained in emergency medicine. The lead facilitator is certified in assisted psychotherapy and draws on her ancestral wisdom, blending clinical care with traditional healing.
Achieve Powerful Results in Less Time
Achieve Powerful Results in Less Time
Kambo structures their 4-day retreats to make them more accessible to busy executives, lawyers, doctors, and business owners who do not have time to step away for a longer experience. Like the 7-day retreats, the 4-day retreat offers a safe, profound transformation without sacrificing depth or intentional care.
Reconnect, Heal, and Evolve as a Couple
Reconnect, Heal, and Evolve as a Couple
Kambo offers couples 3-, 4-, and 7-day guided therapeutic experiences using psilocybin, MDMA, and DMT to allow healing, connection, and transformation to unfold naturally. These substances combined with other holistic practices dissolve emotional barriers, enhance communication, and create space for vulnerability and reconnection. More than relaxation, the retreat helps couples enter a new chapter together.
