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.”
Benjamin F.
“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.”
Carla N.
“Gwendal and Negar are not only skilled healers but also kind, genuine people who taught me so much about the land, spirituality, and how to live in harmony with nature. The ceremony itself was life-changing, and I am forever grateful for the wisdom and healing I received.”

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 practice of healing and learning with a specific plant spirit. Guided by a curandero tabaquero, it involves solitude, daily ceremony, sacred plant medicine, and a simple detox diet to open the body and spirit. Unlike typical group retreats, the dieta offers a quiet, deeply personal process where the plant becomes your teacher — supporting healing on all levels: emotional, physical, and energetic.
How do I know I’m ready for a Master Plant Dieta?
If you feel called to heal, grow, or reconnect with yourself, that’s a clear sign you’re ready. We begin by understanding your intentions, needs, and any health considerations. Most guests start with a sacred Tobacco dieta, unless it’s contraindicated — in which case, we begin with a supportive tree or plant ally. After the initial Tobacco dieta, we guide you to diet other trees that align with your healing path.
