Ayahuasca tourism

Ayahuasca tourism involves individuals traveling, often to South America, to participate in ceremonies using the psychoactive plant brew called ayahuasca. This traditional practice, rooted in indigenous spiritual and healing traditions, is sought for personal growth, healing, or spiritual insight. Participants typically undergo guided ceremonies with shamans or facilitators. While some find the experience transformative, it carries risks due to the potent effects and varying safety standards. As a form of medical and spiritual exploration, ayahuasca tourism highlights both cultural respect and concerns about ethical and safe practices in novel contexts.
