We combine authentic and pure wellness rituals, strong Spiritual Leaders from long lineage (Taitas), amazing environment, and caring integration — with the best prices in South America.
Our immersive wellness retreats are located in the mountains near Medellín, Colombia, and are led by indigenous guides. At LaWayra, we honor the cultural knowledge of the local communities we collaborate with.
Taita Fernando Jojoa, our lead facilitator, is part of the Jojoa family lineage, known for their dedication to holistic and spiritual practices passed on through generations. With more than 12 years of experience as a Taita (indigenous spiritual leader), Fernando brings presence and wisdom to every session.
He began his path at the age of 7, attending traditional ceremonies and learning from indigenous leaders for over a decade. Coming from the Inga community in the Putumayo region of the Colombian Amazon, Taita Fernando has spent his life learning, growing, and cooking his retreats.
In addition to his role as a facilitator, Taita Fernando is also a gifted musician — sharing songs that uplift each participant's personal journey.
All retreats include food (all meals), preparation & integration support, transport from Medellín, and a beautiful venue surrounded by nature — no jungle, so no malaria or dengue.
Our holistic team includes an Indigenous leader, experienced facilitators, instructors, and skilled musicians. All wellness ceremonies and integration circles are conducted in English, ensuring clear communication for international participants.
We are proud to have become South America's highest rated transformational retreats, with 200+ video testimonials and 700+ 5 star Google reviews, reflecting the depth of care and transformation participants experience.
