Don Leonardo grew up on the Yanashi river and was introduced to the medicine at an early age by his family.

From the age of 12 he sat in ceremonies every Tuesday and Friday (traditional ceremony days) with his father and grandfather among other curanderos from the village.
He got interested in the shamanic practices and the art of healing when he witnessed sick people getting healed from natural treatments and plants.

As a young apprentice he did many different plant dietas in isolation as part of the training.

After getting spiritually attacked by a brujo, he went to Santa Maria where he got cured by Don Guido & Don Benigno and eventually joined the team working at the local village clinic that 2016 expanded and became La Luna del Amazonas.

Don Leonardo has been at La Luna since the very start and is happy to share his magic with our guests.
