Please book a flight to Lima (Jorge Chávez International Airport – LIM). From Lima, you will take a short 1 hour 30 minutes domestic flight to Tarapoto (Cad. FAP Guillermo del Castillo Paredes Airport - TPP), which is the closest airport to our Ecovillage.

 

Allow at least 3 - 4 hours between your arrival in Lima and your flight to Tarapoto, as this time is needed to pass through immigration, collect your luggage, and check in for your domestic flight. Lima’s airport can be busy, so this extra time ensures a smooth and stress‑free connection. If necessary, you may stay overnight in Lima at nearby hotels or Airbnb accommodations.

​

Please arrive in Tarapoto at least one day before your program begins. The city offers many accommodation options, ranging from budget hostels and guesthouses to boutique hotels and eco‑lodges. Most hotels and guesthouses can arrange an airport transfer for you. Since Tarapoto Airport (TPP) is only about 3–4 km (2 miles) from the city center, transfers are quick and easy, taking just 5–10 minutes by taxi or mototaxi (tuk‑tuk). A tuk‑tuk ride costs around 7–10 soles, while a taxi costs about 20–30 soles.

​

Upon arrival in Tarapoto, our team will meet the group on the first day of your program for breakfast at the designated meeting point, which will be shared in the Dieta Signal group closer to the event, and then accompany you to the Ecovillage. The drive from Tarapoto to Lejía/Shamboyacu (San Martín) takes approximately 3–4 hours through the beautiful Amazonian landscape.

​

Participants only need to book their flights to Lima and Tarapoto, as well as a hotel in Tarapoto for the night before the retreat. All transportation between Tarapoto and the Healing Center is included and organized by our team.

What to Bring

​

Cusco sits at 3,300 m in the Andes, which creates a very distinctive pattern: mild, spring‑like days all year and cold nights, especially in the dry season. From May to August, the weather is dry and clear, offering warm days and crisp, chilly nights. During the rainy season, from November to March, you can expect gentle showers and lush green landscapes, with comfortable daytime temperatures and cooler evenings. No matter when you visit, layers are essential, the Andes shift quickly between sun and cool breezes, but the overall climate is calm, refreshing, and ideal for inner work and ceremony.

We recommend arriving in Lima late in the evening or early the following morning so you can take the next available flight to Huaraz after a brief layover.
