About Kambo Wellness Center
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.
