What International Visitors Should Know Before Their Experience
Rio de Janeiro is known around the world for its beaches, mountains, music and vibrant culture. But beyond the most famous tourist attractions, the city is also home to different spiritual traditions and communities connected to nature, ancestry and self-knowledge.
For international visitors interested in Ayahuasca in Rio de Janeiro, choosing where and how to experience it is an important decision.
Understanding the environment, the approach of the group, the preparation process and the practical details can help you arrive with greater clarity and awareness.
What is Ayahuasca?
Ayahuasca is a traditional Amazonian preparation that has been used for generations within different Indigenous and religious contexts.
Today, it is experienced in different spiritual settings, each with its own traditions, practices and ways of understanding the experience.
At Templo Xamanismo Universalista Círculo Sagrado 7 Encruzilhadas, Ayahuasca experiences are approached within a context of Universalist Shamanism, spirituality, ancestral traditions and self-knowledge.
The experience is individual, and there is no predetermined outcome.
What is a shamanic experience like?
A shamanic experience can involve different practices depending on the purpose and structure of the gathering.
At our temple, elements may include:
- meditation;
- moments of silence;
- chants and sacred music;
- drums;
- connection with nature;
- contemplation;
- spiritual practices;
- moments of sharing and integration.
The intention is to create an environment where participants can slow down, become more present and explore their own experience.
Your experience is personal
One of the most important things to understand before participating is that no two experiences are exactly the same.
Some people may experience moments of introspection. Others may become more aware of emotions, memories, thoughts or their relationship with nature.
There is no need to compare your experience with someone else’s.
We also do not promise a specific spiritual experience or predetermined result.
The invitation is simply to approach the experience with presence, respect and openness.
How should I prepare?
Preparation begins before arriving at the temple.
After confirming your participation, our team provides the relevant practical information and preparation guidelines.
International visitors should also inform the team in advance about any relevant circumstances, including medication use or health conditions.
If you have medical concerns or take medication, seek advice from a qualified healthcare professional regarding your individual circumstances before participating.
It is also important to arrive rested, follow the preparation instructions provided by the organization and avoid arriving under the influence of alcohol or other substances.
Where is the temple located?
Templo Xamanismo Universalista Círculo Sagrado 7 Encruzilhadas is located in Santa Cruz, in the West Zone of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Santa Cruz offers visitors a different side of Rio de Janeiro, away from the city’s most famous tourist neighborhoods.
Detailed information about the location and transportation is provided to participants before the experience.
What about English-speaking visitors?
International visitors are welcome.
Our team can provide English-friendly guidance before and during the experience, helping visitors understand the practical information and communicate with the team.
We recommend contacting us before making travel arrangements so you can receive the current information about dates, availability, preparation and logistics.
Choosing an Ayahuasca experience in Rio de Janeiro
If you are considering an Ayahuasca experience during your trip to Brazil, take time to understand the place you are considering.
Ask about:
- who conducts the experience;
- how participants are welcomed;

A clear understanding of these details allows you to make your own informed decision.
Experience Rio de Janeiro beyond tourism
