You are expected to arrive at our center before midday. The center is located approximately 44 km from Iquitos, about a 1.5-hour drive along the main road to Nauta. The final kilometer (from the main road to the center) is accessible by vehicle only during favorable weather conditions. If conditions do not permit vehicle access, a short 1 km walk may be required, during which our staff will assist with luggage. Upon arrival, we will arrange your accommodation, followed by lunch, an introduction to the training, and initial theory covering the safe use of Kambo, application techniques, how to support participants during the process, and a Q&A session.

We will begin with the first Kambo ceremony, guided by Deyan. After the session, there will be time for rest, followed by additional theory on Kambo fundamentals and application techniques. We will also cover how to work with Kambo on a holistic level, as well as the shamanic approach.

Introduction to complementary medicines and instruments used alongside Kambo ceremonies (Rapé, Nu-Nu, Tobacco, Sananga, Agua Florida, etc.). We will explore further Kambo theory and science, including peptides, human physiology, the physical absorption of Kambo, its effects, and contraindications, followed by practical and technical exercises. After dinner, we will accompany the Matsés men on a frog-hunting expedition.

The morning will be dedicated to milking the frogs and extracting their precious medicine. Following this, the second Kambo application will be performed by the Matsés elder. You will directly experience the power of fresh medicine and a traditional Matsés treatment. In the afternoon, the Matsés will share their stories and answer your questions about their tribe and their traditional use of Kambo. We will also cover preparation for self-application and the upcoming dieta.

Dieta 

Throughout the dieta, you will participate in 4 obligatory Kambo ceremonies, with the possibility of up to 3 additional sessions if desired. The obligatory ceremonies take place on the 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th days of the dieta, while optional sessions may be scheduled on the intervening days.
You will be guided in self-application of Kambo until you have fully mastered the technique and can perform it confidently and independently without supervision.

Communication during the dieta will be kept to a minimum and limited to essential matters related to Kambo, the dieta process, or practical needs. Outside of these, you will be asked to observe silence in order to fully immerse yourself in the process and receive the greatest benefit from the dieta.

On the 8th day of the dieta, there will be no Kambo session. Instead, you will have the opportunity to experience the traditional dieta fully: you will remain in your hut throughout the day, with food brought to you. A teacher will visit only if you specifically request it. Otherwise, silence will be maintained until the following day. This day offers a profound opportunity to deepen your connection.

In the morning, we will formally close the dieta and transition into the post-dieta phase. This will be followed by integration work on the dieta teachings, including sharing experiences and interpreting dreams or visions. In the afternoon, we will focus on preparation for applying Kambo to others the following day.

You will apply Kambo to two real clients under the direct supervision of the trainer, putting into practice everything learned during the training. Corrections and guidance will be provided as needed. In the afternoon, we will review and analyze your work, providing detailed feedback. The rest of the time will be used to deepen theoretical understanding and answer questions.

You will once again apply Kambo to two real clients, this time independently, without direct assistance from the trainer. In the afternoon, we will review and analyze your work, offering final feedback and answering any remaining questions.
If the applications are performed safely, independently, and in full alignment with the teachings of the training, you will be listed on the Kambo Naturista website as a qualified practitioner. Should any aspect require further mastery, additional homework or an extra application the following day may be recommended.

Final integration circle and closing Q&A round. We will depart the center for Iquitos after midday. The stay at the center can be extended upon request, if desired.
