My experience was beyond anything I could have imagined. I went in to support my partner and his journey, but ended up changing my own life as well. I can’t recommend this beautiful sanctuary enough. Mario and his team of facilitators made me feel safe and allowed me to let go of who I was , and embrace who I want to be without fear. I’m looking forward to coming back many times. Trust and surrender ✨🐸🌈

I participated in a Bufo ceremony here and it was lifechanging, Amani and the other facilitators were excellent and I was well cared for the entire time.

I came back to life in just 1 week! There are no words to describe the expérience with DMT and 5 MEO-DMT.... Combined for my 3rd session. It's beyond and above anything else. The entire Universe open is doors for you. Then you realized you were always been one with God. Now and forever!✨

With full appreciation of the experiences others have had; I would like to genuinely caution those looking to try Bufo. I spent five days at the resort in March and underwent the Bufo ceremony. The ceremony itself was pleasant and eye opening. What followed in days/weeks/month to come and is still present (although fading, or maybe I’m getting used to) is not something I would suggest to anyone. Feelings of unease, nightmares, disassociation with reality, mental turmoil, infact at times what feels like mental instability. Maybe I didn’t integrate properly, maybe I wasn’t in the best state to start with..I’m not sure..what I do know is that I was much more optimistic and grounded prior to my experience. This review is not to speak badly of the hotel, it is a very nice space with nice people. But rather to warn of the dangerous and perhaps irreversible effects of the frog poison.

Avoid, unprofessional and like most of Tulum it's about money, nothing else
