A special retreat may have different pricing. The December 2026 retreat with Kapary is currently USD 1,000. The live date list below is the source of truth if a price or program changes.

What the standard USD 750 retreat includes
The standard five-night price currently includes:
- Three guided yagé ceremonies.
- Live medicine music and ceremony support.
- Shared accommodation at Yaogará Natural Reserve.
- Meals prepared for the retreat process.
- Transport from Medellín or the airport.
- Preparation guidance before arrival.
- Application and health-information screening before confirmation.
- Circles of word, group support, and integration during the retreat.
- Plant baths, cleansing work, and body therapy where included in the retreat schedule.
- Aftercare and continued contact with the Camino al Sol team.
Private accommodation is not part of the standard shared-accommodation price. A private cabin may be available for an additional cost, depending on the date and current availability.
Costs to plan for separately
The retreat price is not the complete cost of an international trip. Depending on where you are travelling from, plan separately for:
- Flights or other travel to Medellín, Colombia.
- Accommodation and meals before or after the retreat dates.
- Personal transport outside the included retreat transfer.
- A private-cabin upgrade if requested and available.
- Personal expenses and any entry, document, or insurance costs relevant to your trip.
Do not rely on an old social post, cached result, or third-party listing for the current price. Check the live retreat date and written inclusion list before paying.
Why ayahuasca retreat prices vary
Two retreat prices are only comparable when the underlying programs are comparable. Price can change with:
- Duration: a single ceremony, a weekend, and a five-night process are different offers.
- Number of ceremonies: ask how many ceremonies are included and whether participation in each one is part of the stated price.
- Accommodation: shared rooms, private rooms, hotels, and remote lodges carry different costs.
- Meals and transport: confirm whether food and transfers are included or billed separately.
- Group size and staffing: ask for the maximum group size and who is present before, during, and after ceremony.
- Preparation and integration: clarify what happens before arrival and what support exists after the final ceremony.
- Special programming: a guest musician, teacher, longer schedule, or different accommodation arrangement can change a specific retreat’s price.
A higher price does not prove that a retreat is safer, more responsible, or more culturally grounded. A lower price does not prove the opposite. The useful comparison is the written program, the people responsible for it, the screening process, and what support is actually available.
Questions to ask before paying
Ask each retreat for clear answers to the same questions:
- What is the total price, including required fees?
- How many nights and ceremonies are included?
- Are accommodation, meals, and transport included?
- Is the advertised accommodation shared or private?
- Who guides the ceremonies, and who supports participants throughout the night?
- What information is reviewed before participation is confirmed?
- What is the maximum group size?
- What preparation and integration support are included?
- What happens if the retreat changes or you need to cancel?
- Are any activities, transfers, treatments, or upgrades charged separately?
Read the complete guide to choosing an ayahuasca retreat in Colombia for a broader evaluation framework, including red flags, regional context, screening, group care, and logistics.
Compare the total trip cost, not only the retreat fee
A retreat with a lower headline price can become more expensive once transport, accommodation, meals, and required extras are added. A higher headline price may include more of those items. Build a simple total using:
retreat fee + travel to the destination + accommodation outside retreat dates + excluded transfers + optional upgrades + personal trip expenses
Then compare what is included in writing. Avoid assuming that words such as “luxury,” “traditional,” “all-inclusive,” or “medical” have a standard meaning across different retreats.
Also review the cancellation and payment terms before sending money. Camino al Sol’s current terms are available in the refund and cancellation policy.
Price and responsible screening are separate questions
Payment does not determine whether participation is appropriate. Camino al Sol reviews application and health information before confirming a place. Screening can identify reasons to pause or decline an application, but it cannot remove every risk or predict an individual response.
For the boundaries of this process, read the safety and medical guidelines. Do not stop or change medication to attend a retreat without speaking with a qualified medical professional.
Your next step
If you are still comparing programs, start with the Colombia retreat choosing guide. If the current Camino al Sol dates, price, and inclusions fit what you are looking for, apply for screening. Applying begins a review; it is not an automatic booking or payment.
