The Touristic Use of Ayahuasca in Peru

Exploring the phenomenon of ayahuasca tourism in Peru, the book delves into its psychological, pharmacological, anthropological, and sociological dimensions. It presents an interdisciplinary analysis of the historical context and current research on ayahuasca. Through findings from four years of field research, the author investigates the motivations of individuals from developed nations seeking psycho-spiritual experiences in the Amazon, their experiences during ceremonies, and the integration of these transformative insights into their daily lives.
