Ayahuasca & Medicine Music with Kapary | Colombia | Dec 9-14
With Diego Marmolejo, Samuel Vélez and Andrea Diaz
December 9 - 14, 2026
Camino al Sol × Kapary is a special five-night retreat held December 9–14, 2026, at Yaogará Natural Reserve in the mountains of El Retiro, Antioquia.
The retreat follows Camino al Sol’s complete ceremonial process: arrival, purification, preparation, three traditional Colombian yagé ceremonies, integration, and closing. Kapary, a seven-member Kichwa-Andean ensemble based in Bogotá, will accompany two of the three ceremonies with live music.
This is not a concert or music festival. Camino al Sol’s established ceremonial leaders remain responsible for conducting the ceremonies and administering yagé. Kapary participates as an invited musical ensemble, bringing voices, strings, winds, and percussion into the ceremonial setting.
The retreat includes shared accommodation, meals prepared for the retreat process, transportation from Medellín or the airport, preparation, circles of word, plant baths and cleansing work, body care, ceremony support, and integration.
Participation is subject to application and medical screening. No payment is requested before approval. Once approved, a USD 500 deposit confirms your place. The remaining USD 500 is due 45 days before arrival; approvals received within 45 days require full payment.
