Putumayo is a department located in the south of Colombia,
which is surrounded by a lot of nature, on the shores of
the Amazon jungle. This is located in the upper western limit
of the Amazon, there are many cultures with knowledge of
Ayahuasca, in this place they perform Ayahuasca ceremonies
and Ayahuasca retreats in addition to other spiritual healing
plants.
Many foreigners look for this place, to do experiences with Ayahuasca and other powerfull plants, with the idea that this is the most suitable place to perform a ceremony with the sacred medicines.
something of this is true, but something could be for problems. One of these is, there is no airport to arrive there, the only way to arrive to this place is on bus that goes from Bogotá, which can be a very long trip, since it takes in average 17 hours traveling from the capital of the country, doing this the foreigner arrives tired to a place that they do not know and is not to much touristic, being susceptible to be robbed, since there is no adequate security as in the capitals of the country. (Bogota, Medellin)
Tourists come looking for sacred medicine, to perform an
Ayahuasca ceremony or Ayahuasca retreat, in which many people
present themselves as shamans without being really shamans,
since to be a shaman requires many years of study of the plant
and the sacred medicines, in addition the shaman is a person,
who was been chosen by a community to do this kind of ceremonies and
experiences, he is almost, like a priest of the region, and it is
very difficult to meet a real one.
There are Many cases known of people who present themselves as
shamans without being one, causing the foreigner to have a bad experience
with the plant and get a bad image of it, since the person who
gave them the drink is not the right one, and Ayahuasca ceremonies
should only be led by an expert or shaman.
It is also known of cases in putumayo, in which sacred medicine is given to people who cannot receive it, such as those who are receiving psychiatric medicines, patients with heart diseases, patients with epilepsy, or schizophrenia or in the worst case in people who believe that this is a recreational drug, and mix it with alcohol.
It is very important, people understand that Ayahuasca is not
recreational experience, it is a plant of spiritual healing and consciousness
and should be taken with great respect, and in the right conditions
to do not to have a bad experience with it, this is why the In fact, there have been cases of people who have died since they were not fit to take the sacred medicine, for example when it is
given to people with heart disease, this is the reason why
bad reputation of the plant in many parts of the world.
