Abstract
El presente ensayo pretende una aproximación hacia la comprensión de los significados del término “ayahuasca”, como parte de los fitónimos de los pueblos amazónicos. A pesar de sus atributos socioculturales, este término abarca diversas especializaciones a nivel del léxico, considerando también la cosmovisión de los pueblos nativos en la que se encuentra inscrita esta planta. La metodología que se utilizó fue cualitativa, de tipo descriptiva y de carácter transversal. Se abordaron distintos campos disciplinares en la reflexión del alcance de su uso y significado cultural. Los apartados se relacionan con los aspectos históricos, rituales, medicinales y lingüísticos. Todo ello conduce a una mirada interdisciplinaria, que permite observar las múltiples dimensiones del término, sus atributos en la comunidad y las transformaciones de su significado en distintos espacios geográficos.
