Where We Are

The Place

Senda Loto sits where the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta meets the Caribbean — a quiet corner of jungle, river and mountain, just minutes from Tayrona National Park.

The Setting

Between Mountains and Sea

Senda Loto is tucked into the jungle where the Sierra Nevada meets the Caribbean coast — close enough to reach easily, far enough to feel worlds away from the everyday.

Between practices there is time to swim, walk, read, rest or simply listen to the forest. Tayrona National Park lies nearby and becomes part of the full Mindfulness Retreat.

Our dedicated meditation and yoga temples offer space for silence and practice, while the surrounding boutique hotel provides comfort, privacy, and safety.

  • Foothills of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, between Santa Marta and Palomino
  • About 5 minutes from the main entrance to Tayrona National Park
  • We coordinate arrivals in advance and stay in touch on the day you travel
