Many people seek genuine healing, clarity, and a renewed sense of purpose. Deep within the Amazon rainforest, one of the last truly sacred places for transformation. Blue Morpho Retreats offers a sanctuary where mind, body, and spirit return to harmony through the ancient wisdom of Ayahuasca and traditional plant medicine.
For those moving through life transitions, carrying emotional pain, or searching for deeper meaning, Blue Morpho is more than a retreat; it’s an invitation to reconnect with your true self. Guided by maestro Hamilton Souther with 23 years of experience and supported by the powerful energy of the jungle, each ceremony opens the door to authentic healing, spiritual insight, and renewal.
Sacred Wisdom and Modern Safety: Why Blue Morpho Sets the Standard
Our reputation as a world-renowned Ayahuasca retreat center stems from our dedicated service since 2002, when we first opened our doors to international guests. Blue Morpho operates within Peru’s legal framework, maintaining the highest safety standards while honoring sacred traditions. We combine ancient wisdom with modern safety protocols to create transformational experiences.
Blue Morpho founded by Hamilton Souther offers unmatched authenticity. Maestro Hamilton Souther became the first Westerner recognized as a Maestro Medico Vegetalista. His apprenticeship under Don Julio Llerena Pinedo in the deep Amazon forest provides the traditional foundation on which our retreats are built.
The Blue Morpho Experience: Location and Facilities
Blue Morpho in Peru operates from a pristine 170-acre private reserve in the Amazon rainforest. The facility features both indoor and outdoor maloca spaces for ceremonies.
Our accommodations exceed expectations. Guests stay in hand-built bungalows surrounded by abundant wildlife. The property includes a private swimming lake, pool, and meditation spaces throughout the forest. The open-air jungle shower beneath the canopy offers views of the Milky Way during clear nights.
The ceremonial maloca sits beside the tree that inspired the ‘Home Tree’ from Avatar. This sacred space allows participants to connect with the stars while experiencing visions and listening to traditional icaros.
Scientific Foundation of Plant Medicine Healing
Research continues to validate the therapeutic potential of Ayahuasca for mental health conditions. A study published by the National Institute of Mental Health found that Ayahuasca ceremonies can significantly reduce depression and anxiety symptoms in participants.
Clinical evidence supports our approach. The Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) has documented Ayahuasca’s effectiveness in treating trauma and addiction. These findings align with what we observe during Blue Morpho’s Ayahuasca retreats.
The neuroplasticity effects of Ayahuasca’s active compounds create lasting positive changes in brain function. A recent systematic review by leading figures in psychedelic science found that insight-rich experiences, when administered in well-structured therapeutic settings, are reliably linked with significant improvements in mental health outcomes.
Our Maestro Hamilton Souther: A Pioneer in Plant Medicine
Blue Morpho by Hamilton Souther represents decades of dedication to authentic healing practices. As a trained anthropologist and University of Colorado Boulder graduate, Hamilton brings academic rigor to traditional shamanic practices.
His recognition as the first Western Maestro Medico Vegetalista validates our approach. This achievement required years of intensive training under indigenous masters. Hamilton’s work has been featured in TIME, The New York Times, National Geographic, and The Washington Post.
Since 2002, Hamilton has guided over 15,000 individuals through plant medicine journeys. His expertise spans both Ayahuasca and San Pedro ceremonies, offering participants multiple pathways to healing and growth.

Steven Moses Case Study: Real Transformation
Steven Moses exemplifies the transformational power of Blue Morpho Retreats. After struggling with depression for a decade, he found healing through our programs in 2007.
“I was relieved of a decade-long depression and addiction to anti-depressants during my first visit to Blue Morpho,” Steven shares. His experience highlights the profound healing possible through authentic plant medicine work.
Steven has returned five times over the years. His continued participation demonstrates the lasting value of our approach. He notes that Blue Morpho’s experience surpasses other Ayahuasca ceremonies he has attended in the United States.
“Hamilton Souther manages the ceremony with love and grace,” Steven explains. “You can trust him with the Aya to guide you in clearing the cobwebs and unhelpful junk you are carrying around in your head.“
