Welcome to Hotel Rivel
Step into a sacred space of renewal and awakening. Guided by experienced facilitators, this retreat invites you to explore inner balance, emotional healing, and profound connection with the spirit of the rainforest.
Available exclusively for Hotel Rivel guests
The Ayahuasca retreat at Hotel Rivel offers a profound opportunity for personal transformation and spiritual awakening. Set in the pristine rainforest of Costa Rica, this sacred ceremony provides a safe space for deep introspection, emotional healing, and connection with the wisdom of nature. Our experienced shamans, with decades of traditional training, guide participants through this ancient ritual with care, respect, and authenticity. Each ceremony is carefully prepared to honor the medicine and create an environment of trust and spiritual protection. This is not a casual experience—it is a commitment to self-discovery and healing. We emphasize safety, intention-setting, and integration to ensure that your journey is both meaningful and transformative.

We ensure your safety and comfort through careful preparation, expert facilitation, and ongoing support before, during, and after the ceremony.

We require a specific diet 7 days before the ceremony: no red meat, alcohol, caffeine, dairy, or processed foods. This purifies your body and prepares you for the medicine.
