Not exactly on synesthesia, but mainly on Ayahuasca:

This site is also in English:

http://www.bialabate.net

And there are tables of contentes of these enormous book in Portuguese:

O Uso Ritual da Ayahuasca
BEATRIZ CAIUBY LABATE, WLADIMYR SENA ARAUJO (eds)
Editora: MERCADO DE LETRAS, 2002

O Uso Ritual das Plantas de Poder
BEATRIZ CAIUBY LABATE E SANDRA LUCIA GOULART (orgs)
Editora: MERCADO DE LETRAS, 2005

Drogas e Cultura: Novas Perspectivas.
Beatriz Caiuby Labate, Sandra Goulart, Maurício Fiore, Edward MacRae and
Henrique Carneiro (eds)

I'll check hem myself to see if there's something more specifically on
synesthesia.

best
