Huachuma Wasi

"My experience at Huachuma Wasi is something I will carry with me for the rest of my life. From the very beginning, Sergey earns your trust, admiration, and respect in a way that feels both natural and deeply grounded. He holds the space with an incredible level of care, attentiveness, and responsibility. You can feel that this is not just something he does—it’s something he truly honors. The work done there is far from easy. It asks a lot from you. But it is guided with such presence, sensitivity, and wisdom that you never feel alone in the process. Sergey approaches this profoundly challenging work with a rare balance of strength and gentleness, always prioritizing the safety and experience of each guest. What I gained from this experience goes beyond words. I reconnected with a deep and lasting sense of self-respect, self-worth, and inner strength. It brought me closer to understanding who I truly am—what I value, what I stand for, and what kind of life I want to live. It helped me realign with something essential: staying true to myself, honoring my values, and appreciating the people and things I love. There was a powerful reminder of the importance of listening to my heart, respecting my feelings, and choosing a path rooted in authenticity and love. Sergey is an incredible human being doing extraordinarily difficult work. The way he guides people through such life-changing experiences is nothing short of remarkable. Changing your life for the better is a decision. And now, when you make that decision, you know where to go."

"Very thankful for the time i got to spend at Huachuma Wasi , this is a experience that brought a lot of clarity and bliss to the end of my time in Perú, always will be thankful to Sergey for his warm hospitality and presence, Huachuma Wasi has such a especial energy to it"

"I had an incredible experience at Huachuma Wasi, it was a serendipity for me as it wasn’t my plan but everything flowed in order for me to come in contact with Serguey. The medicine itself was very powerful and it brought great clarity for this moment of my life. Serguey knows what he’s doing as he has been working with Huachuma for 20 years. He is like a father guiding you firmly but at the same time with a genuine intention of helping you. He puts his love for his family above all and therefore creates coherence with his work, devoting his life to helping others. The other participants receiving the medicine at the same time were very supportive and kind, I felt very safe the entire time. I am deeply grateful for this experience and can honestly recommend this space and medicine to anyone. Tupananchiskama 🙏🏼"

"I just completed a 3 week stay here with Sergey, it was an unbelievable experience. Met some great people here enjoyed our conversations around the fire. Amazing what just a week or 2 can do for you! I first had planned to stay 2 weeks but after the first ceremony I realised that I would need to extend another week. I knew this was a very special medicine from the first time I tried it the year before and knew I had to return to it. The healing and processing I experienced here was remarkable, the pace and relaxed atmosphere Sergey created here at Huachuma Wasi really allows you the time and space to explore yourself and your life, it helped me so much in coming to terms with many things but also allowed me to look forwards towards a brighter future and gain clarity on how I want to live and show up. Sergey is a wonderful guide, who has a positive and infectious attitude and has just the words, at times our conversations became my medicine…shifting the experience as he knew just what to say and when to say it. I appreciate you and your family for providing such a welcoming and healing environment. I will be back for sure, and look forward to seeing where my next steps take me. Thanks again Sergey!"

"Huachuma Wasi is a magical place, filled with deep wisdom and beautiful energy. Even simply being in the garden brings me a deep sense of peace and joy. I first came a year ago with my partner and knew I would return. I came back again this year, and it has had a deeply positive impact on our relationship, there is something truly special about sharing this experience together. The longer I stay, the deeper I go, and each time it becomes more powerful and heart opening. I left this time with real clarity on the path I’m meant to walk, shedding confusion, fears, and doubts. We were welcomed with genuine warmth by Sergey and his family, creating a space where I felt safe and at home. Over time, a deep sense of trust naturally builds with Sergey, which makes it possible to fully surrender to the process. I’m truly grateful to be here and to drink his medicine. Sergey’s guidance plays a major role, he is clear, practical, and reassuring, helping me truly understand and integrate the experience. I felt real bliss, and connected deeply with the medicine, nature, the land, its ancestors, and most importantly my true self. Huachuma shows you the truth and guides you, but it is up to you to make the choice—to have the will to change and to walk the right path. The people I met became lifelong friends. I connected with them on a soul level, and even if we don’t stay in touch often, I know the love remains and is always felt. For me, this is a life changing experience that shifts my perception of fundamental truths. Huachuma Wasi is a place I will always return to, to go deeper, rebalance, live from the heart, and align my mind. I want to give a special thanks to Sergey for the trust he creates, the friendship, his humor, his practicality, and above all his support. I now walk my path with love by listening to my heart, with loyalty to myself and the people I love, and with great courage. Hasta luego 🌵🫶🏻💫"

"So grateful that I had the chance to stay at Huachuma Wasi and experience the medicine. Although I have stayed only one week I truly got more than I expected. Sergey is an amazing human being and his guidance make this experience even more life changing. He is very supportive along the process and guides you with love, trust and safety. After many years I found the clarity I have been seeking through love, empathy and self respect. Also sharing your experience by the fire with the group was a healing process on its own and I am really grateful for the people I have met and the stories we shared. I will remember all of you forever! Thank you Huachuma and Sergey for everything, this is not a goodbye. See you soon!"

"Huachuma Wasi, what a beautiful place! From the moment you step in through the door to the garden you feel peace. Sergey makes the place feel like home and the ceremonies super safe. With his guidance he makes sure we find the healing and the serenity we are looking for. As someone that has no past experience with medicinal plants, I can guarantee that thanks to Sergey there is nothing to be afraid of. After every ceremony we share our experience of the day by the fire, and this sharing alone is powerful. Apart from the huachuma ceremonies, Sergey is always available to help you plan your visits to any other place you would like to explore around Sacred Valley. Great host! Overall, amazing energy!! Thanks Sergey and your family for these unforgettable moments we shared."

"My stay az Huachuma Wasi was perfectly what I needed right now. I didn't plan to come but I had dreams, signs and a strong calling so I changed my plans to fit it in. I arrived and settled in, got the most beautiful room on top of the house, with windows to all 4 directions with view to the mountains. We had some introductory talk, also talked about my previous experiences, then we had a bit of free time to look around in the town of Calca with other participants. Everyone was so kind and openminded, but at the same time grounded which made me feel safe and comfortable with them from the first day. Sergey takes special care of everyone. He made sure we had everything, reminded us to prepare our tea, warm and waterproof clothes for the ceremony days. He introduced us into the medicine gradually, first with a small amount checking our sensitivity, then based on our experiences we might "leveled up". I felt completely safe and I could entirely trust the medicine and his expertise after the first day so I chose to level up. The first day was also really wonderful, I wrote a lot, aligned my thoughts about my life, my values, commited to new goals. There was also a lot of healing that just happened at times when I let go of thinking and just allowed myself to recieve. We all had our own place we chose for ourselves so that we could pay attention to our own process and connect with the beautiful nature around. Sergey came by to check on us several times and was available to talk about anything that came up. I really appreciate his wisdom, listening to him I learnt and healed a lot even things I didn't know I was still carrying. I'm also really glad that I went for more at my second ceremony because this way I got to experience the whole thing much more deeply. I wrote less, but experienced every moment. I allowed myself to become the person I truely want to be from my heart, I found the deepest meaning of love, respect, care, oneness, connection to nature, spirit and God by really experiencing everything fully. I sang a lot, mostly to express my love and gratitude. Just into the universe, to the unseen. Also for myself to have some recordings of the new me, brave and strong, living from the heart. I sang also to Sergey, to express my everlasting deep gratitude for guiding me here and throughout the whole process, supporting when needed, for the messages he transmitted, and for whole setup of the retreat itself. The integration around the fire and dinner together was also so special, we all shared openly and honestly, I thank also this small community that formed during my stay. So what I can share is that for me this plant is a magical medicine to come back to my center, to understand and feel my whole being, human and spiritual experience much better and I am really grateful for the medicine too! Maybe it's colors, sensations, thoughts, feelings, understanding or deep healing how the medicine works with you but from my experience this is a beautiful upgrade and a new beginning, a strong and confident push towards your best life.🙏🏻"

"From the moment you step through the gates of Huachuma Wasi, there is a deep, indescribable sense of peace that stays with you throughout your entire journey. The kind of place where the setting itself feels like medicine. That same feeling flows all the way into the magical forest by the river, where the ceremonies take place, a truly special and sacred space. Sergey, is simply the best host you could ever ask for. His presence, care, wisdom and transparency make you feel completely safe and supported. His wife, Mercedes, and their sweet daughter Alexa bring an added warmth that makes this place feel like home. There is something truly unique about this hidden gem in the Sacred Valley and everyone who experiences it leaves wishing they could stay just a little longer. Deeply grateful for this experience 🤍🙏🏼"

"What I can say about Huachuma Wasi is that if there is a place that you can feel like home, this is definitely it. No words are enough to describe the work that Sergey does. The healing is possible and done safely with Sergey guidance. From the way he receive us, always transparent and honest in his explanations, to his wisdom in managing and working the medicine to help whoever comes seeking it. Always grateful to Huachuma Wasi, Sergey, his amazing family and the medicine. It worked."
