Life testimonials ♡ JOY WASENKO
I’m so happy that I chose Colombia Oculta to take care of my travel needs for my first Ayahuasca experience. From the first email I knew I contacted the perfect place. They were very friendly, helpful and informative.
They sent me to Ayen Bienestar Ancestral in the beautiful Valley of Sibundoy, Colombia. The meeting of the Amazon with the Andes mountains makes the landscape absolutely magical.
The trip vastly exceded my expectations in every way. I had a lovely private room with my own bathroom and shower. The area was beautiful with lots of walking paths through the gardens and trees so I could immerse myself without worry of getting lost. Everyone there treated me like family, it was the warmest welcome and stay I’ve ever had in my travels.
The trips we took were all off the beaten path. Nothing touristy at all, which I loved. It was the kind of authentic experience you can usually only get if you personally know a local in the area.
It was the perfect combination of excursions, therapy, immersion in nature and downtime to take it all in.
The reason for my trip was to try Ayahuasca as a treatment for the depression and anxiety I’ve suffered from since childhood. Over the past 30 years I had tried everything western medicine has to offer to little avail. After heavily researching Ayahuasca, or “The Ancestor’s Medicine” as they call it, I wanted to try it. I’m used to being disappointed with results of everything I’ve tried, so I wasn’t too hopeful, but I knew I needed to think outside the box of western medicine at this point, before I completely gave up.
The changes I’ve felt since the Ayahuasca ceremony and additional therapies I was given during my 5 days at Ayen are unbelievable. For the first time in 30 years I am completely free of depression and anxiety and completely off all medications and have been since the ceremony almost 2 months ago. It is no exaggeration at all to say this trip saved my life. I tell everyone I know about it. It would be a trip of a lifetime even without the medicinal benefits, but with them, it is truly life changing.
The value of what you get for the price is astonishing. And I didn’t even mention how delicious the fresh, home cooked food is!
I can’t talk about any of it without sounding like a paid advertiser (I am not) because it was just so perfect. With any trip I’ve taken in the past I’ve had at least a few complaints, but with this one I didn’t have a single one. I know if I would have though, they would have taken care of it immediately. I would definitely recommend Colombia Oculta and Ayen Bienestar Ancestral to anyone looking for an amazing vacation and a one of a kind, life-changing experience.
