How to get here

Getting to us is pretty easy, given that we are situated in the Peruvian high jungle.

First catch a flight to Lima. There are many flights from various big cities in the US, Europe and South America. From Lima you fly to Tarapoto and we pick you up at the Tarapoto airport to take you to TierraMitica by 4x4.

Three airlines currently fly to Tarapoto from Lima, some of them also connecting with Iquitos, Pucallpa and Yurimaguas. The biggest and most punctual is Latam airlines. Flights vary between 100 and 250 USD, are reliable and planes are modern and comfortable.

There are frequent buses through many companies with good service to Lima, Chiclayo, Trujillo, San Ignacio (at the border with Ecuador), Piura, Yurimaguas and TingoMaria. Prices vary from 15 USD to 35 USD depending on service and travel time (about 24 hours from Lima!).

What to bring

Tarapoto, although a little more temperate than other jungle areas due to the altitude, is still a tropical zone. During the day it can be quite hot and humid and depending on the rain, nights can be warm or quite cool. TierraMitica however, our high jungle paradise, has an even more pleasant climate with 3 degrees C at least less than Tarapoto due to the higher altitude and the wild vegetation, so it is always fress to cool at night and warm to hot during daytime.

We recommend bringing:

  • light fabric clothing, to be able to add and remove layers

  • Bathing suit for swimming

  • long pants and long sleeved shirts for walking in the forest

  • a pair of closed in shoes

  • a light raincoat

  • a torch or an led headlight (very important)

  • insect repellent for walks in the jungle

  • Towel

  • A big enough quantity of cigarettes or tobacco if you are a smoker, and sufficient provisions of personal hygiene items such as shampoos, razors, feminine hygiene supplies and other personal items.

Everything else is taken care by us from the moment you are picked up in Tarapoto to the moment you are delivered back.

How to prepare

To begin with, it is important to show intention and prepare yourself by cleansing before you get to TierraMítica through altering your food habits. We suggest you reduce fats, sugar and salt, avoiding cheese, butter and other fats. Avoid alcohol and drugs including marijuana. This diet should be started 2 to 4 weeks before arrival, the longer the better. We suggest you start by reducing quantities and move gradually to a tighter regime. As an absolute minimum you should cleanse for at least 2-3 days before coming. Any anti depressants, tranquilizers, sleeping pills are totally incompatible with the work we do here, so should be stopped at least four weeks before arrival, so that you arrive as clean as possible, without the distortions in mood and psyche that these substances provide. You should inform us of any medication you are taking regularly and any past or present serious medical condition. If in doubt, err on the side of too much information rather than too little. You should also inform us and consult with us if you are being treated or have been treated in the past for mental disorders. These do not mean you should not come, it just means we should be aware of them beforehand.

We suggest you avoid any inoculations or malaria pills. Malaria is practically nonexistent in Peru as well as yellow fever and any rare occurrence usually has to do with importation from another country. These treatments will make you ill for no reason and potentially distract you.

Inform your family, friends, business associates and partners that you will not be able to communicate with them during your workshop. The Choice OS Mythic Voyage is a super intensive, heavy duty transformational workshop and is performed in a "bubble", separated from the outside world for the duration. It is a time that you deserve for yourself and yourself alone and you deserve it, if you choose to love yourself so the issues of the outside world do not concern you during the workshop. Internet communication will be available to transmit that you have arrived safely before the workshop and of course, after the workshop. For any emergency, your family may contact us through the contact@tierramitica.com email. If your dependents receive any email from you during the workshop, they have to be informed that this will be with the awareness of the workshop and through the processes of the workshop.

We need to receive your full itinerary and arrival and departure details as well as a scan of the photo from your passport for pick up and identification purposes.

The second and most important part of the preparation is to decide and meditate on your primary intention, the intention for which you are coming to the center. This is especially important if you will be attending a Choice OS Mythic Voyage. A good method to decide on your initial and primary intention is to ask yourself: “If I had the opportunity to get one question answered fully, what would that question be that would most liberate me, empower me and allow me vision for my life?”

Avoid “Why?” questions which never really help or matter and use a “How?” question. For example not “why am I not able to….?”, rather “how will I be able to…?” Once you know the most important question you need answered, build your intention strongly around finding this answer making it the main reason for your voyage. If you find a more important question on the way, please do not hesitate to change, but be observant of any tendency to fluctuate and a lack of commitment for your intention.

Try to make no serious, binding commitments for your life in the time preceding your voyage because everything may change and it most probably will!
