Abstract

Ayahuasca is a strong psychoactive beverage of the Amazon Rainforest that brings a thriving tourism from industrialized countries to Peru. Motifs and subjective meanings in participants of traditional Ayahuasca-seminars in the rainforest are extracted in a qualitative interview study through qualitative content analysis. The results are put in relation to the so-called pilgrimage tourism.
