In Their Own Words
We are deeply touched by the kind words guests share after their stay. Here's what some participants had to say:
"Johanne and Armando have truly built a wonderfully unique, healing, and beautiful oasis in the jungle.
I signed up for a solo Reiki Level 1 training (4 days / 3 nights) and it was worth every penny! Johanne has an incredible eye for detail and I was very comfortable and well taken care of the entire time. Very clear itineraries, wonderfully nourishing meals, comfortable and clean accommodation, lovely staff, beautiful location, and a very thorough and interesting training (with extra take-home reading materials) - Johanne went above and beyond!
I will definitely be telling all my friends about the 'Tambo Ilusion experience'. And I hope to return sometime in the future again.
Thank you again, Johanne and Armando for your warm hospitality!"
— Sarah T.
"A truly hidden gem in the jungle, this place exceeded all my expectations and more!! Words cannot fully express my experience at Tambo Ilusion. After coming from a previous retreat in Tarapoto, I was looking to wind down and have some quiet time to integrate my experience. I felt called to this place to continue my journey and explore the art of reiki and do yoga.
It was truly a perfect environment and remote location, being immersed and surrounded by the beauty of nature and the symphony of its sounds. The moment arrived, I was warmly greeted by Johanne and her beautiful essence. The attention to detail at the retreat was very impressive, very thoughtful and welcoming. I greatly appreciated the candles, incense, oracle deck, pillow spray, coloring pencils for the mandalas, the mesh nets for the bed, the hammocks in the Tambo and the list goes on.
Furthermore, I was deeply touched by Johannes genuine hospitality, kindness, beautiful spirit and her passion for her teachings of yoga, reiki, nutrition and more…. I feel deeply grateful to have had Johannes one on one, undivided attention during my yoga and reiki retreat. From the yoga classes, to the reiki attunements, workshops to spending time with her beautiful pets to sharing the most incredible vegan meals and our mindful and insightful conversations has left an imprint on my heart. I am in deep awe and inspired from my experience at Tambo Ilusion. I highly recommend this beautiful and special place and will definitely will be returning again soon. I Thank you wholeheartedly, Johanne for such a beautiful and incredible experience!"
— Lisa P.
"I honestly cannot say enough about this lace. I was extremely emotional leaving as it gained a very strong piece of my heart.
I was looking for a place to get an authentic reiki certification in Peru and I cannot imagine doing it any other place than Tambo Illusion. I went with full intent of just obtaining my certification and what I gained was way more than I could’ve expected.
From start to finish I was treated with the utmost kindness and caring hospitality from everyone on the property including the very sweet pets that Johanne and Armando have. (Once you get to know them it’s no surprise why their pets are so amazing as well)
Each day had a schedule but I never felt rushed and the time flew by like you wouldn’t believe! I was in need of a major disconnect and recharge and I absolutely found it here. This was one of the best things I have ever done for myself mentally and physically.
This full on wellness retreat gave me a complete education on eating clean and you can even get a copy of johannes massive beyond impressive delicious cook book! Which I highly recommend! (After one meal you will want it) Johanne is also a yoga teacher and we had a couple incredible classes during our downtime. Armando has an amazing medicinal garden and his medicinal plant bath at the end of the retreat feels so good on the body and the setting is breathtaking.
I could go on and on about tambo illusion but I will just leave it with if you are looking to find yourself and heal yourself, you will absolutely do it here! I will definitely be back! <3"
