Shaman Ceremony with Ayahuasca

[Magamba]

We are going to Peru to hike the Inca trail, see Machu Picchu and spend some time in the Amazon rainforest. We are considering participating in a 2-3 day Shaman ceremony involving Ayahuasca (made into a tea). I have done a lot of reading about this but am wondering if anyone out there has actually tried this with a Shaman in Peru and what their experiences were.

Thanks for any insight...

I have not personally tried this, but I have read accounts of people who have. This is something I really want to try one day, and I would definately take the opportunity if I could.

Might be interesting, but I don't think that without proper "leading" you'll get much out of it...also, I highly doubt that it will be anything more than a regular turist attraction, during which you all can take nice photos and buy useless gadgets while the shamans are silently laughing...

look at this http://www.newdiamond.org/  if you want something really serious.
My friend just came back from the Egipt trip with Autori..and..oh Lord, oh Lord..I'm speechless...
Thankfully all the places are already sold for this trip, and for the next one and the next one, and the next one...the only plus is that it should be enough time for me to gather the $4,000..
oh well...one day...

All the best
