Home > Retreats > Bufo Retreat in Mexico (Tepoztlan)
The sacred medicine of Bufo (5-MeO-DMT) is the secretion of the Sonoran desert aka the Bufo Alvarius toad or the Colorado river toad. Bufo is one of the most potent entheogenic medicines known to mankind, and is a powerful initiation for those looking to enter a new phase of life.
The experience with Bufo Alvarius toad venom is much shorter in duration that other visionary substances like ayahuasca, San Pedro, and psilocybin. Once the toad secretion is inhaled, the mystical effects begin within seconds - a transcendental psychedelic experience with massive therapeutic potential.
One leading study in 2019 of 5-MeO-DMT showed that, after smoking the toad venom, participants underwent a profound mystical experience, with high levels of "ego dissolution or oceanic boundlessness during their session displayed higher ratings of satisfaction with life and lower ratings of depression and stress."
Even a single Bufo ceremony can bring about profound healing, and for those that feel called to this experience, the Behold Retreats cultivate an environment of safety, professionality, compassion, and world-class service.
Along with our private and small-group Bufo retreats, we offer personal coaching to guide you skillfully through the process of your physical/mental/spiritual preparation, all the way through post-retreat integration.
Our team of experienced facilitators have years of experience in psychedelic facilitation, and are passionately dedicated to healing with psychedelics. You will welcomed as family in an atmosphere of genuine connection and commitment to your process.
If you're ready to move forward, we invite you to connect with us to reserve your place and/or request a Discovery Call.
Your wellness retreat will take place on a private, family-owned estate tucked into a beautiful valley just outside of Tepoztlan, Mexico. Our retreat offers serene accommodations with a laid back atmosphere with plenty of time to rest, reflect, and integrate.
The space itself is a beautiful 9-bedroom hacienda with plenty of green space, swimming pool, fire pit, tennis court, and ample space to find some time for yourself for journaling, resting, and reflecting. Your ceremony facilitators and psychedelic integration counselors will be there with you 24/7 to give you all the support you need to get the most from your experience.
The pre-hispanic town Tepoztlan has been one of Mexico's top destinations for spiritual pilgrimage for millennia. A place steeped in a rich history of spirituality, revolution, and mystique, Tepoztlan is revered as a place of extremely high spiritual potency. It is said that spiritual awakening happens much faster in Tepoztlan, perhaps due to its location amidst the highly conductive copper-filled mountains. To this day, people travel from far and wide for spiritual study, meditation, ceremony, or to catch a glimpse of the UFO’s that are rumored to visit.
The weather in Tepoztlan is warm year round with an average annual temperature of 75 degrees with cool, comfortable evenings. Tepoztlan is conveniently located just 2 hours south of Mexico City International Airport.
Please let us know if there's anything we can do to support your transformational Mexico retreat.

During a breakthrough experience, within 10 seconds of smoking toad venom, the illusion of our separate, egoic self is completely surrendered, and we are left in the awesome presence of an all-encompassing oneness and awareness: all-knowing, all-loving, timeless, without space, and without references or boundaries.
A truly mystical experience.
For those who have had the privilege of receiving Bufo it is easy to see why 5-MeO-DMT is known as the God Molecule.
Here’s what our guests like about 5-MeO-DMT:
• You're nearly certain to have a breakthrough
• It’s less physically demanding than medicines like ayahuasca – no bucket required
• Ceremonies are short yet powerful, the peak is only 10-20 minutes
• Clients receive 100% attention during the peak
• Less dietary restrictions (although clean is best)
There's a lot to love about Bufo,
But this sacred medicine is not to be taken lightly, which is why high-quality guidance, preparation, facilitation is of utmost importance to be well-calibrated ahead of ceremonies.
Like all things in life, what we put in is what we get out.
