Worth knowing
- The centre told peyote.com on 8 October 2026 that retreats normally have one or two participants; that a facilitator stays present and sober throughout every psilocybin session; that before a session it reviews medical information and emergency contacts and agrees a plan for distress or unexpected physical symptoms; and that in a medical emergency it contacts Costa Rican emergency services and takes the participant to hospital, going with them. It says the venue is about an hour from Hospital Dr. Fernando Escalante Pradilla in San Isidro de El General, the main full-service hospital for the Pérez Zeledón area, and that its retreats are not a substitute for medical or psychiatric treatment. We have not verified these statements.

Lo que dice el centro sobre la evaluación (cita en inglés de su sitio web)
Begins with an online introduction and intake call. The FAQ lists contraindications including epilepsy, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, psychosis, heart problems, pregnancy and MAO inhibitor or serotonin-based medication, and says: "Our medical screening process helps determine whether participation is appropriate in your specific case." On SSRIs and SNRIs it recommends consulting the prescribing doctor about tapering, with a washout "often between 1 and 3 months". The centre told peyote.com on 8 October 2026 that screening is a video consultation plus a detailed questionnaire covering physical health, psychiatric history, current medications, past psychedelic experience, current mental and emotional state and intentions; that a participant whose medication cannot be safely paused must provide confirmation from a qualified medical specialist that combining it with psilocybin does not present an unacceptable risk; and that participation may be declined or postponed.
Situación legal
Ilegal pero tolerado en la práctica: la psilocibina está en la lista nacional de sustancias controladas de Costa Rica y el suministro no autorizado se castiga con 8 a 15 años de prisión, pero los retiros operan abiertamente y no encontramos ningún procesamiento informado contra uno.
