WHERE IS THE BEST PLACE IN THE WORLD TO DO AYAHUASCA?

There is no single "best" place. It depends on what you value. Peru, particularly the Iquitos region, offers the deepest traditional roots and direct access to indigenous Shipibo and Mestizo healing traditions at relatively affordable prices. Brazil has well-established ceremonial traditions through religious organizations like Santo Daime and União do Vegetal. Costa Rica provides a more accessible and comfortable option for North Americans, with strong infrastructure, a growing number of reputable centers, and legal tolerance for ayahuasca use. Some European countries and Mexico also host retreats. The "best" place for you depends on your priorities: traditional authenticity, safety infrastructure, facilitator experience, comfort level, budget, travel accessibility, and whether you want a purely indigenous approach or a hybrid model that integrates Western therapeutic practices.
