Guests are asked to avoid walking down paths leading to the long term dieters’ tambos to respect their isolation.

TRADITIONAL TAMBOS
We have 9 isolated bungalows, called tambos, for long-term dieters. They are a wooden construction with walls of mosquito netting to enhance the jungle experience. Each tambo is equipped simply with a bed, desk and hammock, and are isolated amongst the jungle on the property of Nihue Rao.Most tambos are located 20 to 40 meters away from the main hub of the center within easy walking distance of the ceremonial maloka and bathrooms, but with enough distance from the main center activity. This allows for isolation, immersion, and optimum concentration to enhance the dieting process. All bedding and towels are provided, with the option to have meals delivered to further support isolation.
MEDICINE HOUSE
Our staff prepares our ayahuasca, plant remedies, flower baths, vapor baths, and vomitivo in a medicine house outside the ceremonial maloka. Guests who are dieting a plant come to take their plant remedies once a day, Monday through Saturday, often at 10 a.m. or 3 p.m.
