Amazon Dieta
This Dieta is held in one of the most untouched places on the planet:
The Cordillera Azul in the Amazon Rainforest of San Martín - Perú
The Jungle Experience | 15 or 10-Day Dieta
The Amazon Dieta takes place in June/July, deep in the Rainforest of Shamboyacu, Picota, San Martín, 3 hours from Tarapoto airport. This program is designed for people that are walking their inner spiritual path and want to go deeper into their healing and awakening process in total isolation while experiencing the beautiful and magical Nature of the Rainforest in the Amazon, the realm of The Mother.
You will reconnect with yourself while immersing in the majestic and powerful energy of the rainforest surrounded by all sorts of Palos, or Master Trees, Medicine Plants, and natural wildlife. Along with the cleansing and soothing energy of pristine creeks and waterfalls while hiking through the wilderness you will be able to feel the spirits of the land, the plants and animals that inhabit the jungle.
We invite you to join us as guests in “The Mother’s ” kingdom.

The Dieta Program
On the arrival day at the Chaka Runa Healing Center in the Amazon of Shamboyacu - Lejía - San Martín, Don Gino will give you a warm welcome and make you feel safe and part of our Chaka Runa family. Then the whole group of participants and staff will gather in the dining room for lunch, where Don Gino will explain the wonderful process you are about to go through and he will answer any questions. This is also where you will be able to meet the whole the group and become part of the beautiful community that will support you during your entire stay.
Later, Don Gino will have a one-on-one conversation with you. The aim is to create a bond, learning about your background and life story at the same time, and understand what you are bringing into the ceremonies. This will give him the information and tools to provide a personal healing experience, opening the right doors for the medicine to go where it is most needed. This personal approach has shown outstanding healing and awakening results on people from all walks of life around the world, while guiding you in a gentle and safe way through your process. In the evening, the group will gather in the dining room to have a last supper before the Dieta opening.
The Dieta starts in the morning of the 2nd day when the whole group gathers around the Maloca - Amazonian Ceremonial Space, for the Amazonian plants’ flowering and protection bath, which will cleanse you from the heavy energies brought from the cities and give you energetic protection through your Dieta process. The first Plant Medicine ceremony will be held on the same day at night.
The next Plant Medicine ceremonies will take place every other day throughout the rest of the program. At the very beginning of your Dieta Don Gino will explain the Medicine Plants available and their benefits, for you to take during your Dieta During the Dieta, one liter of Master Plant tea will be distributed daily to each participant. Drinking this tea is an important part of the Dieta, for it will help you connect with the spirits of the plants, allowing the Medicine Plant to work better within you.
On the third day, the Kambo, Rapé and Sananga Ceremony will take place. This Ceremony will deeply cleanse your emotional and physical bodies, resetting your energy field. The Visionary Painting Charango (Andean Guitar), Guitar, and Flute Classes will start on the same day and will be held in between Plant Medicine ceremony days. This will spark your creativity and allow you to express yourself, helping with your transformation and healing process, while also learning to play medicine music.
During the Dieta, we will visit the beautiful on-site creeks and waterfalls, where you will be able to have a deep cleansing and dive into natural ponds. This will help you relax and put your mind at ease while receiving the powerful healing of these crystal waters surrounded by the dense jungle, preparing you for the last ceremony.
The 5th and closing ceremony is held during daytime. This feels like a celebration full of joy that brings a deeper connection among the group, creating a community with a long-lasting bond. By the end of this ceremony, Don Gino will cut your Dieta by serving you a spoon of an old Mestizo-Shipibo recipe, which will make you appreciate the food and tastes we take for granted in our daily lives. This is truly an incredible and unforgettable experience to conclude a long and challenging journey.
On the same day after lunch, for the final closure, the whole group will gather in the Maloca where Don Gino will explain the Post-Dieta Instructions and Integration Guidelines, that will help you when going back home.
Accommodation and Food
The Chaka Runa Healing Center is a raw and traditional native settlement, isolated in the middle of the vast Peruvian Amazon Rainforest. We are 15 minutes away by car to the closest town of Leija. It consists of an open ceremonial Maloca, a common dining area and 30 isolated personal Tambos and or Glamping Tents, that are spread throughout the Amazon Rainforest. The Healing Center is interconnected by enchanting long dirt trails, wooden stairs and wooden bridges.
The accommodation is raw, built with local ecofriendly materials and in harmony with nature, with running water, flushing toilets, sink, and open showers. No cell service or Internet will be available during your Dieta, unless it is an emergency. Nonetheless, the Tambos and the Glamping Tents are beautiful and include only what you need: a bed with a mosquito net, a hammock, a table and chair, drawers for your clothes, a big water dispenser, a towel, a broom, toilet paper, candles, matches, mosquito spirals and rubber boots.
The Tambos have no walls and the only thing separating you from the jungle is a see-through mosquito net, as well as the Glamping Tents, which you can open all around, so in both cases you will be able to hear, feel and smell the jungle and how it talks to you through its soothing, natural sounds Since chemical toiletry products, such as toothpaste, deodorant and shampoo are not allowed, you will be given baking soda to brush your teeth and leaves to soothe and cleanse yourself in your shower or in the crystal-clear waters of the creeks that run along the Healing Center.
If you are a spiritual warrior and in good health conditions, this is your chance to go back to basics, leaving behind your modern world to realize that you can also be at peace with little and in balance with Mother Earth.
The food is light, natural, fresh, organic and healthy, prepared daily from organic, pesticide-free, local sources. All meals during the Dieta are free from salt, sugar, spices, dairy and red meat. It is thoughtfully designed for the process to avoid getting in a ceremony on a heavy stomach. Two meals a day will be served (breakfast and lunch), and coca leaves and herbal teas will be available at all times. The Dieta is based on the Mestizo traditions and the menu includes rice, potatoes, quinoa, oats, dried banana, carrots, broccoli, avocado, corn and eggs.
After cutting the Dieta, we will enjoy amazing native Peruvian cuisine with vegan and vegetarian options. If you have any special dietary requirements please advise us upon receiving confirmation of your participation.
