HI
I have been looking through a number of aya ritual centres in Peru that cater to foreigners - wow that sounds bad - and I really need some advice about choosing one. I am clear on my intentions and I am certain that it is something I need to do, the issue is being able to properly guage these places from an internet/distant perspective.

If anyone can provide advice on this, or can point me to a better place to look or ask, I would really appreciate it. I am not kidding myself thinking worrying about the authenticity about the experience. My concern here is about safety, about the intentions of the people that run these things, and the emphasis on the healing process. I know all too well how internet marketing works and its really hard to assess the 'fitness' of these places from afar.

any advice is hugely appreciated. thanks!

I know this much. One cannot trust TridAdvisor. They remove negative comments/reviews under threat of a lawsuit.
