Dear Lesley From the bottom of my heart, I would like to thank you for who you are and how much you mean to me. Together... read more with a dear friend, we traveled from the Netherlands to Casa de la Gringa for healing. After reading an interview with Lesley about the healing benefits of San Pedro, and all the miracles that took place, I knew I had to be with her. We were very lovingly welcomed and I felt a deep peace when I entered the oasis of healing, Casa de la Gringa. Here I would receive all the care my body had so longed for. Surrender and trust in the process and my healing journey. A beautiful garden with flowers, hummingbirds and crystals with a view of the Andes with the most beautiful sea of clouds, I could ever imagine. During my stay, I stayed in a beautiful wooden house surrounded by San Pedro cacti, where I could retreat in peace to process the profound processes. The ceremonies in small groups, were guided with so much love and care. In the garden everyone has their own safe place, where you lie under warm blankets, and also have the space to walk around and fully connect with nature. I can also recommend everyone to stay here for a longer period of time, especially if you are chronically ill or want to heal deep trauma. After being ill for a long time, I have regained confidence and self love, back in my body and choosing life. Embrace and embody the healer within. I felt so much at home and welcome. I would like to express my gratitude to the wonderful and friendly staff, who enchanted us every day with a loving smile and delicious food. I will always carry you all in my heart and thank you again for your loving guidance and care. Thank you San Pedro 🙏🏼 I miss you all. Love Aico

My time at Casa de La Gringa was nothing short of spectacular. From the welcoming energy of Leslie, to the land she has created, the location,... read more the beautiful staff, the food, and the level of care throughout, everything was held with deep intention. The journey Amrit takes you on is truly profound. The insights, healing, and inner work were powerful, and I am incredibly grateful for the experience. If you’re looking to sit with San Pedro, I highly recommend this space. It feels safe, caring, and deeply supportive. The location is stunning, nestled in the mountains yet only a 10-minute drive from Cusco, so you feel completely away from everything while still being close to the city. The conversations, the fires at night, and the sense of community made it feel like a dream. Huge thanks to Leslie, Amrit, Lucy, Naomi, Jacks, Mark, Paco the dog, Luna the dog, and the whole team. I will definitely be back. So much love thank you

Absolutely an amazing experience. I feel like I landed here at the right time, unsure if I’d stay for 1, 2 or more ceremonies. I... read more ended up staying 2 full weeks, doing 5 ceremonies, because this place is magical and the people were amazing! I met a lot of wonderful guests, and really bonded with the staff too. They are there to make your time unforgettable, make you feel safe, and help you in your process.

My stay at Casa De La Gringa wasn’t planned, but—as life often shows us—sometimes the best things happen completely by accident. Now I’m sitting here... read more with a cup of coffee, trying to find the right words to express my gratitude for this experience. I read several reviews below, and I feel there isn’t much more I could add. Maybe just one thing: if you find the courage to open up and try something new, Casa De La Gringa will reward you in ways you might not expect. And no—nothing will happen on its own. You’ll have to do the work. But in an environment like this, with Lesley’s support, success feels almost inevitable. Step out of your comfort zone and win—just like I did.

The energy of this place is loving, and deeply intentional. This place is pure magic.
