Directions

Getting to Casa del Sol

  • Casa del Sol Retreat Center is located in the beautiful Sacred Valley of San Pedro in Vilcabamba.
  • The best travel itinerary is to book your international flight to Quito (UIO), and then taake a regional flight to Loja/Catamayo airport (LOH). Only 1 local airline flies here: Aeroregional.
  • There are usually 2 flights per day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. They sometimes sell out quickly. We recommend to book it with enought time in advance.

 

Getting to the Retreat Center

  • After you land at the Loja ‘Catamayo’ Airport (LOH), you can take a taxi directly to our Center.
  • We can organize taxi direct transfers from Loja airport to Casa del Sol. Please let us know your arrival and departure flights and times in case you would like us to coordinate this for you.
  • The taxi ride is a 75-minute drive through beautiful Andean valley.
  • Alternatively if you arrive days before the start of the retreat, you may take a taxi from the airport to Vilcabamba, the closest town to our center.
  • There are many beautiful accommodations here in the valley. We highly recommend Hosteria Izhcayluma.
