Chaliponga — Diplopterys cabrerana Wholesale

Diplopterys cabrerana is a large-leafed liana native to the upper Amazon and Orinoco basins, with particular prevalence in the Colombian and Ecuadorian Amazon. It is used in traditional ayahuasca preparations in these regions as an alternative or complement to Chacruna. The plant belongs to the Malpighiaceae family, the same family as Caapi, though it plays an entirely different role.

Alkaloid Profile

Chaliponga leaves contain N,N-DMT alongside 5-MeO-DMT — a combination not found in Psychotria viridis. This dual alkaloid presence makes Chaliponga an important subject for phytochemical research. The leaves are larger and lighter green than Chacruna leaves, with a more prominent central vein, making visual differentiation straightforward for experienced buyers.

Sourcing and Availability

We supply Diplopterys cabrerana dried leaves sourced from Colombia. Chaliponga is less widely cultivated than Chacruna, which means availability can be seasonal. We maintain stock continuity for wholesale buyers and advise ordering ahead for larger quantities.

For Retailers

Retailers and research suppliers serving practitioners working with non-Peruvian ayahuasca traditions will find Chaliponga a key line to carry. It pairs naturally with our Caapi range and other Amazonian ethnobotanicals for buyers who work with the full Colombian/Ecuadorian context.
