Beyond tourism
Reciprocity, not extraction
Every journey is co-created with the forest's guardians — a living exchange of knowledge, protection, and care, with as few intermediaries as possible between you and the source.
"Through Maira's years of involvement, learning, and relationship with the people of the region, we were welcomed into experiences and worlds no typical traveler could ever access."
Scottie Thompson · Actor · Writer · Producer

Maíra Irigaray:
Your Bridge Between Worlds
Maíra doesn't just study the sacred — she was born into it. Initiated into spiritual practice at seven years old, she has spent thirty-seven years walking inside the ayahuasca tradition that raised her, long before she ever carried a law degree into a courtroom. For sixteen of those years, she also stood beside Indigenous communities defending their rivers, forests, and rights — not as an outside expert, but as someone already woven into their world. Maíra is not simply a host, but a bridge — connecting ancestral wisdom with the demands of contemporary life, held in her body as much as her mind. Her role is to hold the container so the forest can meet you safely and meaningfully.
"You are not only a gifted woman of power, you are a facilitator of the light."
Audrey· Healer
Transformation That Creates a Legacy
For our high-end clientele, giving back is the foundation of the experience. Every journey you take with INSamaúma directly supports Indigenous-led initiatives and long-term reciprocity. Your participation contributes to local communities life, land and self-determination. Often it also contributes to specific projects such as the construction of the Tupinambá Casa de Medicina—a sacred space for healing and the transmission of ancestral knowledge, and a medicine facility at the Munduruku of Bragança land.
