Guests meditating with Pema
WELCOME
Are you looking for a magical place where you can settle into nature and start or deepen your meditation and yoga practice?
Welcome to La Casa de Loto! We are a small Buddhist meditation and yoga retreat temple nestled in the mountains of Guatapé, two hours from Medellin, Colombia. This area is relatively untouched by development and so you can experience a healthy, vibrant ecosystem, full of mesmerizing views, exotic wildlife, fresh air and tranquility.
It is our hope that our guests are able to go deeply inward, let go of stress and reconnect with the essence of life, where lasting happiness can be found. ​We offer two different options of retreats tailored to meet people’s different needs. Each option includes meditation and yoga sessions, comfortable accommodations, and delicious and healthy meals.​​

Inspired by the tranquility of the Buddha's forest retreat tradition, La Casa de Loto offers a space for meditation and mindfulness practices amidst the beauty of nature. Our thoughtfully designed cabins, nestled in the forest with a mountain creek flowing by, provide comfortable spaces for relaxation. Each room features a private bathroom and a balcony, offering enchanting views of the surrounding mountains and forests. Breathe in the fresh mountain air and listen to the calming sounds of nature.

Travel from the airport usually takes around 1.5 hours, and around 2 hours from Medellin City (el Poblado). We recommend arriving in Guatapé a day before the retreat starts already, to make sure you arrive in time for the check-in at 2pm on Fridays.
