    It is indeed.

    Aye already saving for it, been looking into a couple of places just been doing a fair bit of researching.

    I would have booked it now but can only book so far in advance and I'm looking to go at the end of May next year.

    Considered going into Ecuador for a retreat and do 7 days Ayahuasca then 7 days san pedro but thought I best stick with Peru.

    Good stuff :50: I need to get my act together and start researching a bit more into the best place to go and start saving. Want to try and get it done in the next 2 years maximum hopefully.

    What places have you narrowed it down to ?

    Just set a goal and start saving no matter how little you put by each week/month.

    I'm torn on places to pick for a retreat tbh.

    You can go expensive or way cheap, it's trying to figure out where you will get the best experience though.

    This is the front runner at this moment in time. http://www.nihuerao.com/

    You'll have to give a full match report. Seems there's a fair few interested in the ayahuasca retreat on here.

    Aye I've got a load of overtime coming up at work so I think I'll just save the majority of the extra cash I get to try and push my timescale closer.

    Aye I've read a that a good few of the more expensive ones aren't the real experience more of a touristy thing, as you said it's all about finding the right retreat. I'll give the one you posted a look :50:

    I would budget around 1.5-2k for flights and retreat tbh and they tend to be all inclusive.

    :50: Just going to have a look at the link you posted. Aye going all the way over there by yourself does seem very daunting but I think when you get there all those nerves will disappear as the people you will meet over there will be like minded people :50:
