7-Day · 6-Night Program
Samay — Detox and Deep Renewal in the Amazon Rainforest
A carefully guided process of physical purification, mental clarity and ancestral connection, on 64 hectares of primary Ecuadorian rainforest.
"Detoxifying the body is only the beginning. What truly happens here is a reunion with yourself."
An Invitation to Be Reborn
Deep in the Ecuadorian Amazon, where the Napo River whispers through the trees and the air is thick with the scent of living rainforest, Hamadryade Lodge opens its doors to a transformative experience: a seven-day detox retreat designed to release the body from accumulated toxins and restore the mind's natural clarity.
This is not a simple rest. It is a carefully guided process of physical, emotional and spiritual renewal, where Amazonian ancestral wisdom meets contemporary wellness practices. Each day is designed to guide guests through a journey of deep cleansing — of the body, of routine, of the noise of the modern world.
Pillar 01 · Nutrition
Living, conscious, regenerative nourishment
Every dish at the retreat is an invitation to nourish the body at its purest source. Tropical fruits harvested from our own garden, cold-pressed green juices, restorative broths and living-cuisine dishes prepared by our wellness chef.
A light, progressive and deeply satisfying cuisine, designed to support the detox process without any sense of deprivation.
Pillar 02 · Purification
Spa, temazcal and waters that renew
The Hamadryade Spa offers a full physical and energetic detox protocol: lymphatic drainage massage, treatments with essential oils from the Amazon, and the ancestral power of temazcal — the sacred steam sauna that cleanses body and spirit.
Hydrotherapy in our natural jacuzzi, surrounded by living rainforest, completes a cycle of deep rest and nervous-system restoration.
Pillar 03 · Nature
The ancestral roots of the rainforest
Sixty-four hectares of primary rainforest provide the ultimate setting for inner work. Intimate trails, guayusa ceremonies, cacao rituals and the ceaseless song of the Amazon accompany every day of the retreat.
Returning to your roots — to the earth, the river, the silence — is returning to your own center. Here, nature is not a backdrop: it is the teacher.

A Healing Journey
The Four Pillars of the Program
Over seven days, we remove the agents that overload the body — refined sugar, caffeine, alcohol, processed food — and replace them with living nutrition, pure hydration and practices that stimulate the body's natural elimination systems.
01
Living Nutrition
Light meals based on tropical fruit, cold-pressed green juices, nourishing broths and living-cuisine dishes prepared by our wellness chef.
02
Conscious Movement
Yoga, rainforest hikes and activities that activate lymphatic circulation and the body's natural detoxification.
03
Ancestral Purification
Temazcal, guayusa and cacao ceremonies that cleanse body and spirit according to Amazonian ancestral tradition, guided by local facilitators.
04
Deep Rest
Spa, hydrotherapy, natural jacuzzi and the healing silence of the rainforest to restore the nervous system and recover vital energy.
Important note: the nutrition program is light and progressive, always supervised and adapted to each participant's needs. This is not about deprivation, but intelligent nourishment that allows the body to rest and regenerate.
