Entheogens Perú Soul Sanctuary

My experience with Entheogens Perú was deeply grounding, authentic, and human.

What stood out the most was the presence of Maestro Benedicto and the feeling of being held within a living ancestral tradition, not something reconstructed or performed for visitors. The work felt rooted in real lineage, integrity, and lived experience.

The ceremonies were guided with clarity, humility, and respect. There was no pressure, no spectacle — only a strong sense of true connection, both to the medicine and to the people holding the space. Everything felt intentional, simple, and deeply aligned.

Stephano brings a rare balance of structure and sensitivity. His way of holding the group created a sense of safety and trust that allowed the process to unfold naturally, without force. I appreciated how the experience honored both the ancestral wisdom and the personal journey of each participant.

What I valued most was the authenticity: a genuine relationship with the medicine, a real connection to the land and culture, and a human presence that felt honest and grounded. This is not a place that promises miracles — it offers something far more valuable: integrity, care, and a true encounter with living ancestral wisdom.

I would highly recommend Entheogens Perú to anyone seeking a sincere, respectful, and deeply rooted plant medicine experience.

I had no prior experience with master plants, and from the very beginning Stephano made me feel safe, guided, and deeply supported. He is a true master—fully present throughout the entire journey, with a profound knowledge that he generously shares about Inca culture and sacred medicinal plants.

He guided us to magical mountains and ancient temples, and the ceremonies and hikes to these sacred places were incredibly powerful, far exceeding my initial expectations. The experiences felt amplified by the land itself, and you could truly sense the wisdom and information stored in these mountains over millennia.

I entered the retreat as one person, and by the end I felt deeply transformed. The plants taught me life-changing lessons and revealed insights that continue to guide me, helping me build a happier, more conscious, and more meaningful future. This experience exceeded all expectations and will stay with me for a lifetime.

The whole experience was beyond profound, there’s no words that can describe, the teachings, the emotions, the vibration pulsating in my whole being, the joy, connection, the energy of the Andes, the power of the temples, the whispers of the mountains, the Inca trails…it was a magical pilgrimage with so much beauty beyond compare, strong energy and revelations My heart is full.

So much love and gratitude to you brother Stephano, Jose, Roger. This is not the end, it’s to ok be continued.

I had such an amazing, insightful and transformative experience in Peru with Stephano guiding me through this journey. As a solo traveller I felt safe and supported. Stephano has a wealth on knowledge about Andean Cosmovision, Inca history and plant medicines. We visited tons of sacred sites, did a few pilgrimages along the Inca Trail, I experienced plant medicine ceremonies and learnt so much. The house I stayed in was comfortable, although the shower didn't have enough pressure to wash my hair but that's not the end of the world! The Biowell readings he took day and night were fascinating to see how the plant medicines affect your health and energy too. Even on the one of the days where there was no plant medicine - just a hike pilgrimage along the Inca Trail to HuchoyQosqo to the Temple of Wiracocho for a Despacho ceremony, breath work and meditation was enough to elevate my electromagnetic field. His companion and guardian Uku, a gorgeous Pyrenees Mountain dog accompanied us on some of the journeys and was there during my Wilca session too, he's a great support dog to everyone too! I am keen to carry on what I've learnt - my time and memories there will be cherished and I hope to go back again! In fact I WILL be back!

Had an amazing trip with great communication prior and during the retreat. All was well scheduled and worked out amazing.

Stephano is an amazing Shaman.

His depth of knowledge and experience showed up everyday. From knowledge of the medicine to the Andean Cosmovision. I really enjoyed all the history and stories of the past but still only feel like I brushed the surface.

Each medicine was great, and each chosen location fit so well with the medicine of that day.

Stephano made sure I was prepared and ready with breath work and meditation before each session and we also had biowell scans before and after which would show the status of our bodies energy and chakra alignment. I found this really interesting as it when along well with journalling and keeping track of your time at the retreat.

Travel Experience: Really good, Stephano was very helpful and all worked out excellent.

Accommodation and Facilities: Good, I had a room to myself so I was pretty comfy and warm at night. A fridge is available and a stove to boil water for tea.

Food Quality: Fasted most days with just light fruit in the mornings. Stayed on the traditional dieta too but food was really good. We visited beautiful local cafe/restaurants in town after ceremonies for debrief and even got to visit the local markets which is a great experience.

The Location: Calca, beautiful spot. The house looks straight up to the mountains. Would watch the mist roll through in the morning.

Value for Money: 100% Lets do it again!

I came to this retreat seeking a safely facilitated experience with plant medicines and connections with sacred Incan sites, history, modern culture, and the land.

Stephano, Josef, and Benito created a deeply profound experience in my 3 short days. I’ll be always grateful to each of them. For the stories, music, nature, learning, food, laughter, everything. Our group was small, so the journey felt personally crafted for us and peaceful.

I will recommend Stephano to my friends who are on their journey toward healing, generational repair, and reconnection. With any luck perhaps I’ll find my way back.

If you are looking for an individual and healing retreat, you have come to the right place. Stephano leads the retreat with so much heart, passion and knowledge, I felt like I was in his conscientious hands from start to finish. And even after almost 3 weeks I can still feel the wonderful effects of the medicine. We visited the most beautiful Inca sites in the mountains, tried local specialties and gained extraordinary insights into Peruvian culture. I am very grateful to have been able to experience this.

I must say to anyone who is reading this , give it a go , it is life changing, you will get your highs with the plant medicine and you will get your lows, it knows what is needed, and Stephanie knows aswell as he has walked the talk, which is good as he knows where you are, his knowledge is incredible of the plant medicine and knows how much to push you for the best results, I did Underestimate the power of the plant , so sure it did let me know. Please anyone who is reading this give it a go, it’s not easy for sure but if your reading this you need to do it, plant medicine was the past but now it’s the future for sure, stephana took me for breakfast and evening meals to top organic cafe and excellent food which really helps, I stayed at his house and made me feel welcome all of his family , I met his friends who also made me feel welcome, if you have problems in your life or addiction or anxiety or blockages in your aura please give this a go, it’s only been a few days but my chakras are buzzing with energy, so excited to get back home to tell my family and friends my experience. Please walk and grow and move into consciousness with stephana.thank you Stephana xx

What a beautiful experience! Stephano is truly fulfilling a mission to heal.

He is very knowledgeable on plant medicines and area sacred sites, each day we are led to a site and embark on journeys together in a safe and powerful setting. Stephano's laidback, peaceful nature helped us feel at ease and he really shone when teaching on different plants and helping us integrate experiences after tripping. The hikes are beautiful and truly enhanced by the medicinal experiences, what a way to experience the world and explore different planes! Life changing!

This retreat was nothing short of mind-altering! Stephano was an outstanding facilitator for the ceremonies. He was patient, warm, encouraging, and I felt very safe with him. I was amazed at how much depth I explored in such a short time with the plant medicines, each day was carefully planned to build upon the next. Our group was small which was perfect for bonding and sharing the experience together. The sacred sites Stephano brought us to were incredible while the mountains added a magick to the whole experience. Highly recommend this beautiful retreat in the Sacred Valley!!

The whole experience was absolutely life changing. FROM THE MOMENT OF MEETING STEPHANO TO OUR LAST STEPS ON THE LAST

From the initial meeting with Stephano to our last steps on the last day the kindred spirit that was born is indescribable. Stephano showed extreme professionalism and calm making myself and those around him knowing they were in good hands. The plant medicines were exactly spot on for each setting. So many sacred sites and spiritual settings in a ritualistic style. The best retreat I have ever attended.

This experience was something I was seeking … yet I found even MORE from this experience!!!! Stephano is a master in the world of spirit medicine and his knowledge of the culture and the context for spirit world helped me grow significantly in a short time. The retreat was beautiful- beautiful people and accommodations- the whole experience left a mark on my heart and soul and I have come back to “real life” forever changed by the work done on this retreat. Thank you! This will stay with me forever … and like the planets orbit, I will come back around again!
