Ayahuasca Ceremony Retreats (Costa Rica, Peru)

Luxury ayahuasca retreats charge $3,000-10,000 per week promising spiritual awakening and trauma healing in the jungles of Costa Rica and Peru. While psychedelic-assisted therapy shows clinical promise, unregulated retreat settings lack medical screening, qualified facilitators, and emergency protocols. Multiple deaths have been reported, and the commercialization of indigenous practices raises serious ethical concerns about cultural appropriation.
