7 Day Meditation and Yoga Retreat in the Mountains of Guatapé, Colombia

La Casa de Loto offers a retreat rhythm that feels more like temple life than a typical wellness holiday. Each morning starts with two hours of traditional Hatha yoga and pranayama, followed by a silent breakfast. A midday silent meditation anchors the afternoon, and evenings bring guided open awareness meditation and tea around the fire. Between sessions, the time is yours — you can hike through the mountains, read in a quiet corner, book a massage, use the sauna, or take a cold plunge in the creek.

What makes La Casa de Loto different is the balance between structure and freedom. There's a clear daily schedule, but no pressure to attend everything. You can participate in every session or take extra time for yourself whenever you need it. The teachers are available for guidance or individual support, and they're equally happy to give you space. This is a retreat for people who want to turn inward, not one full of activities and talks.

The shukubō inspiration means flexibility: you can arrive any day of the week and stay for as long as you wish, with a minimum of three nights. The daily rhythm stays the same regardless of how long you stay. Days begin in noble silence, which lifts at 2 p.m., and the evenings wind down with optional sauna, fire, and a return to silence after 9 p.m.

The location itself is part of the experience. La Casa de Loto sits on a mountainside with gardens, fresh spring water, and panoramic views of the lake and El Peñol Rock. The terrain includes hills, stairs, and uneven paths, so a reasonable level of mobility is recommended. The climate is mild year-round, with daytime temperatures between 20–26°C and cooler evenings, making it comfortable for outdoor practice and hiking.
