Awaken Your Spirit In the Heart of the Amazon.

Shipibo-run center for healing, culture & ancestral medicine.

About Us

Nii Rao Nete is a Shipibo-run healing center in the Amazonian community of Nueva Betania.

Rooted in ancestral medicine, our retreats are guided by family healers who live and work on this land.

This is more than a visit — it’s an invitation into Shipibo life, to share space, ceremony, and the wisdom of the forest.

Testimonials

....“I could not have asked for a better guide than Luis, who led me every step of the way and showed me what it is like to live in and experience a Shipibo community...”

"Luis and his family welcome you with such warmth that you immediately feel like part of their home. Having the opportunity to experience something so genuine was an incredible gift. After being part of this, the more polished retreats feel almost hollow in comparison. This is the true way to experience la selva and the sacred ceremony of ayahuasca."

"Nii Rao Nete Center is a fantastic place. I had a (too short but) wonderful time there! I can fully recommend anyone to take this step and discover a totally stress-free way of life, beautiful individuals, and mesmerizing nature. Macarena, Luis and the fam are the hit! You will learn about happiness, that’s for sure."

"Luis and Macarena were welcoming and open from the first moment we met. It’s easy to see the heart and passion they put into their work. They shared their knowledge about Shipibo culture and traditions and helped us meet and learn about the Nueve Betania community. They took us on walks through the jungle, swims, fishing, and to community events and were flexible and collaborative with our project. I would love to come back in the future!"
