“Tobacco is a plant that nourishes the spirits. When we take this plant, we nourish our mind in something that is neither of the body nor the psyche, but of a superior and transcendent instance — something of pure intelligence, knowledge, and wisdom.”

— Jacques Mabit

Reflections from Our Retreats

My life was profoundly impacted by the plant medicine work, especially the tobacco dieta, at Templo del Tigre. The healing I received here shifted my path and perspective in ways I never imagined. The sacred work with the plants, combined with the peaceful energy of the land, created an experience of deep spiritual awakening.

This place called to me energetically. It’s calm and soothing, surrounded by an incredible variety of birds and plants, with a river at the back of the property. The rooms are comfortable, the yoga space is beautiful, and the tobacco dieta did a world of good for my body and mind. The healers are incredible.

Preparing For Your Journey

What is a Master Plant Dieta, and how is it different from a typical Plant Medicine Retreat?

A Master Plant Dieta is a traditional Amazonian healing practice guided by a curandero tabaquero. It involves solitude, daily ceremony, sacred plant medicine, and a carefully followed detox diet to open the body and spirit. Unlike typical group retreats, the dieta is a quiet, deeply personal journey where the plant becomes your teacher—supporting healing on emotional, physical, and energetic levels.

How do I know I’m ready for a Master Plant Dieta?

You’re ready when you feel a genuine calling to heal, grow, or reconnect deeply with yourself. The process requires openness, commitment, and a willingness to embrace solitude and inner reflection. Our experienced team will support you from the first step, helping you understand if this journey aligns with your current needs and health.
