Maestro César

A Shipibo maestro from Pucallpa, César has a unique background as a former Director of Photography for Canon Peru and decades of experience with Amazonian plant medicine. He is the son-in-law of Maestro Miguel and frequently works alongside Mirabel Mahua Miguel’s daughter and a member of the legendary Mahua family.

His ceremonies are known for melodic, energetic icaros and a calm, balanced presence reminiscent of a Buddhist monk. Combining traditional Shipibo knowledge with empathy, attentiveness, and a deep understanding of Western participants, César creates a space where powerful ancestral traditions meet warmth, professionalism, and a genuine sense of safety.
