Description
AyaMira is a secluded retreat venue bordering the Serra do Cipó National Park in Brazil, set within 120 hectares of protected and reforested natural landscape. Located at the end of a quiet dirt road, the property offers exceptional privacy, peace and direct access to the surrounding wilderness. From the property, trails lead into the National Park, where guests can explore waterfalls, natural swimming pools, canyons, meadows, gallery forests and spectacular mountain landscapes.
Accommodation is spread across several buildings, offering a mix of spacious double and single rooms, as well as two small glasshouses with beautiful views over the valley. The venue comfortably accommodates around 15 guests, with capacity for up to 20 depending on room arrangements.
AyaMira has been hosting international seminars and group retreats since 2016 and is available for retreat leaders who wish to rent the entire venue for their own groups. The setting is particularly well suited to yoga, meditation, nature-based retreats, personal development and ceremonies, as well as Ayahuasca retreats focused on reconnecting with nature. High-quality Ayahuasca medicine can be made available to experienced retreat guides upon request.
AyaMira is part of an ongoing environmental project dedicated to protecting and restoring the surrounding landscape. The combination of secluded accommodation, purpose-built seminar spaces and vast untouched nature makes it a unique setting for retreat groups looking for a genuine opportunity to disconnect from everyday life and reconnect with nature.
