Looking for an Authentic Shipibo Ayahuasca Retreat ( Ex addict ) ( tradition over luxury)

I’d like to know which ayahuasca retreat offers the best value for money, ideally one connected to the Shipibo lineage, and with the possibility of experiencing Bufo as well (or not). I’m 25 years old and I’ve been thinking about doing this for several years now.

I’ve had multiple experiences in the past with mushrooms, LSD, 4-AcO-DMT, 4-HO-DMT, changa, etc. However, I’ve now been sober from all substances for 4 years for personal reasons. I had serious struggles with drugs before (alcohol, opioids, stimulants, and others), and I feel like I need to do a retreat to finally close the door on that chapter of my life and truly understand what psychedelics were trying to show me back then.

At the time, I wasn’t in a good place mentally or emotionally, so even the deeper experiences never fully landed the way they should have. But now, at this stage in my life, I feel much more prepared and grounded.

I’m not looking for anything luxurious or commercialized — I want the real deal, something authentic and respectful of the tradition.
