The day starts at 7:00 with hydration and an alkalising drink. Morning green juice comes at 9:00, a midday nutrient juice at 12:00, a deep cleansing juice at 3:00, and a warm broth at 6:00 for electrolytes. Around those five points sit the meditation and yoga sessions, the treatments, and the guided jungle walks. There is no reading, no writing and no phones during the core of the retreat — devices are switched off on arrival, and electricity is cut at night, which also means a low-EMF dark room for sleeping.

What separates this from a standard detox week is that the cleansing is paired with a meditation technique rather than left on its own. Vipassana here means the Buddha's original insight practice: sitting with physical sensation and watching thoughts and discomfort rise and pass without reacting. Rodrigo's background is in transpersonal psychotherapy — an MA in Transpersonal Humanistic Psychotherapy and 16 years of practice, including work in Mexico City's psychiatric and mental health institutions — so the emotional side of a fast is handled by someone trained to hold it. There are daily integration check-ins and somatic grounding while you are there.

The group is capped at four participants, with two facilitators on site. That means the massage, the clay therapy, the herbal baths and the consultations are all one-to-one, and the silence is not broken by a crowd. Guests tend to be between 20 and 50, and many come alone.

AMA itself is small and earthy: wooden A-frame cabanas, a yoga shala, a swimming pool, a sauna, communal gathering spaces and quiet corners, all solar-powered. The land sits inside the Parque Dos Ojos area, surrounded by jungle and close to the crystalline cenotes that give the park its name. Wildlife, birdsong and the canopy are the soundtrack rather than traffic.

Come expecting a real fast, not a light week. Nine days on juice is demanding, and the silence is strict. The reward is a schedule with nothing in it but practice, rest and the jungle.
