I am glad I visited the DAS center. It’s been a pretty crazy experience. Ayahuasca is really a powerful experience. It seemed to hit me harder than everyone else. The bits I can remember where very helpful, I feel it has cleared my mind of out of rubbish I had collected over the years. It teaches you to be happer with yourself.
Thanks for the journey.

Thank you Percy. This was a lovely calm place to visit. The ceremonies were lovely as was the flower bath. The food was great .
It’s such a lovely safe place to take Ayahuasca.
Thanks again

The DAS center is a wonderful place and has really helped me on my journey to happiness and fulfillment. First on a practical side, the tranquility is something special, the facilities are excellent (no electricity is a good thing), the food is delicious and the staff are friendly and accommodating.
On the spiritual side, simply: Percy, you are an excellent shaman. Your knowledge and compassion gives you wonderful abilities in guidance, interpretations, chemistry and comforting practices.
Personally I feel I achieved all that I could in my short story in no small part due to your effort, and should I need another spell of Ayahuasca based spiritual growth, I will be sure to be back.
In summary: simply – thank you
p.s: Percy, in a few days I will send you an email address that you can publish or your website. I would be happy to have others contact me looking for info on the center.

Arrived here on the gist of feel from Ireland for 10 day treatment with the intention of maybe studying longer. I feel now though that 10 days has been enough for where I’m at the moment. I didn’t get what I “wanted” from Ayahuasca, but I did get what I needed”, and feel I have only scratched the surface with this experience. I think that over the next days and weeks I will see how this has really benefited me.
One thing is clear to me though – I have a lot of work to do. Ayahuasca has shown my issues with trust, self – doubt. The most part has been quite a terrifying ordeal although I have retired that I have a serious set of balls, and on the last night I felt mother Ayahuasca healing me and tell me I have done good. Which was beautiful and exactly what I needed. AMAZING.
The staff here have been open, sincere and with heart felt attention. Percy what can I say…… his level of dedication knowledge and wisdom shines through straight away, and a major thank you to Percy for your insights consideration and giving me the strength to go on. I wish I could speak Spanish there’s a lot I’d like to talk to Percy about without the gift of Karoll ‘s excellent translation skills.
Going for a steer, and who knows maybe even a ride!!!!!!
Always stay in the light.

I have had an incredible 3 days here. I first heard about Ayahuasca when I read Amazon Beaning about 8 years ago and was fascinated by this ancient ritual. This is my third visit to the Amazon but the first time I have the chance to try it. Originally I was apprehensive as I am traveling alone and didn’t want to risk getting into a vulnerable state with strangers in the middle of nowhere. I am enormously grateful to my Aussie friends Curtis and Kate for telling me about Percy’s centre here and recommending him. I have been so well looked after throughout my stay.
My stay here included 2 ceremonies- both with slightly different experiences-although both extremely memorable and powerful. The first night, it wasn’t until I have drunk a second cup that the visions started to flow. The whole experience was made of scattered thoughts, images and sounds, sometimes almost incoherent. My mind seemed to randomly jump from one to the next, like a rollercoaster turning abruptly and moving on in a new direction and velocity.
I felt very calm and relaxed throughout, just lying back and letting the visions flow over me. Time seemed to slow, almost grind, to a half. I remember checking my watch a couple of times and what had felt like hour long intervals were only 5 minutes!
Percy’s incessant chanting and my visions seemed to play along to the same beat and tone. It truly felt like Percy was conducting my experience. At one point I felt a tingly energy grip and pulse its way through the lower part of my body, washing through like a wave. The second ceremony hit me much more powerfully and required only one cup. This experience was even more mind blowing (literally!) and felt like the intensity had been upped a couple of notches on my previous experience. Whereas last time I seemed to be aware of who and where I was, this time I was really drifting in and out of consciousness, having to repeatedly question myself and try to remember when I was – which was difficult at times! This one was quite a rough ride, but thrilling indeed. Although uncomfortable at times. I never felt distressed or in danger. Percy and Karoll’s reasoning voices were always there to put me back at ease.
I will take a lot away with me from my experience here. It really feels like my brain has had a much needed spring clean! I feel incredible refreshed and at peace. I cannot recommend this experience highly enough. It is truly eye opening. I am sure I will come back again in the future.
Final words to Percy and Karoll…they have been amazing hosts. Percy is enormously skilled in his work and is doing the world an amazing service in keeping this ancient tradition alive.
Karoll, thanks so much for being a beacon and calming hand throughout. I will never forget my experiences here. Big thanks again to both of you!!!

… is blessed onto, turned in, spaced in a spiritual way… and if I’m honest, a little relieved.
Thank you so much. Loved it. Very grateful for your attention + care in a vulnerable situation, but it was much appreciated.
Thank you, blessings and see you soon again, Percy.

I visited Percy’s centre last year for 2 weeks and for me it’s the hardest, but ultimately most rewarding, thing that I’ve ever done.
I went to the centre having done my research but still not really knowing what to expect. I arrived there nervous, but as soon as I met Percy I immediately felt at ease and knew that I was going to be well looked after. He explained to me what was going to happen, when it was going to happen and how much it was going to cost. I had the option of paying him upfront or later on, and I opted to pay him upfront. That was the only time that money was mentioned or changed hands, apart from at the end of my time there when Percy explained developments that were being carried out at the centre and told me about his work in the community of Iquitos. I was really happy to be able to see where my money was going, and to know that it was being put back into the community and was being used to help people and continue the good work that Percy does on a daily basis.
As soon as I got to the centre I was given medicine (not aya) to start cleansing, and was introduced to the guys working there. I took part in all of the ceremonies there, and was offered an additional ceremony (again, with no mention of additional costs) but I chose not to have the extra ceremony.
My first week of ceremonies was incredibly difficult and I was on the verge of leaving. I had a long discussion with Percy about what I was going through, and he was incredibly kind and understanding. In the end I had a change of heart, and stayed. I am very, very glad that I did.
Going to the centre is undoubtedly the best thing that I’ve ever done, and I came away from the experience a better person. I made some lifelong friends there, and I still feel a connection with the centre and with Percy. I know that I will return one day.
