About Senda Loto Alma
Mission & Vision
Rooted in Shamatha, the foundational meditation of the Buddhist contemplative tradition, our retreats are held in small groups of no more than eight participants. The instructions are simple, the language is secular, and no prior experience is required. Our work is to hold the space; the territory does the rest.

Directions
From Bogota, the property is approximately a 3-hour drive north through scenic Andean countryside, passing the colonial towns of Tunja and Villa de Leyva.
There are three ways to reach us:
By private transfer: We can arrange a reliable private transfer from El Dorado International Airport directly to the property. The cost is approximately COP 500,000 (around USD 130) one way, accommodating up to 4 passengers with luggage. Please request this at least one week in advance.
By public bus: Bogota's main bus terminal (Salitre) offers frequent departures to Chiquinquira via Ubate. Get off at Tinjaca (the bus passes through it shortly before reaching Chiquinquira). The trip takes approximately 3 hours. Our property is located 2 km from the town of Tinjacá, so the final stretch requires a short local taxi ride, approximately COP 20,000 (around USD 5), which we can arrange for you on arrival.
By car: If you are driving from Bogotá, take the route through Tunja and Villa de Leyva. The total drive is approximately 3 hours from Bogotá to the property. Free parking is available on-site.
