Welcome to Tzumi Muraya

Welcome to our website! The name of our center is 'Tzumi Muraya' which is an ancestral name, written in dialect of the Cocama indians of the Amazon rainforest and can be translated the best as ´Soul of the grandfather Medicineman´. 

Tzumi Muraya is a healing center where alternative medicine is practiced and promoted. We focus ourselves mainly on the traditional uses of the medicinal plants and trees found in the Peruvian Amazon as it has been practiced by the indigenous medicinemen 'Tzumi Murayas' from immemorial times. This way we hope to keep the ancestral traditions alive.

Located in the heart of the Peruvian Amazon, about 2,5 hours from Iquitos city, we  consider our location very suitable to practice traditional medicine and to receive visitors/tourists from abroad. We offer several treatments, plant diets, healing ceremonies in our traditional ceremony house (malocca) under the guidance of kind and knowledgeable shamans/curanderos (medicinemen). We have  4 rooms available in our guesthouse with each 3 beds, a lunchroom, and 2 private houses. All buildings are protected so that mosquitoes and other flying insects can not enter. From the Malocca we have build a bridge to the toilet; showers usually are taken at the nearby creek.

During the stay of our visitors we organise hikes where explanations are given of the uses of medicinal plants and trees, fish can be catched and eaten from the creeks or a swim can be taken in the nearby river 'Mazan'

We hope you enjoy your visit on our website and if there are any questions do not hesitate to contact us.
