Vilcabamba Meditation Center, (CMV) is a bi-lingual Buddhist Meditation Center offering instruction in Vipassana (Insight) Meditation, also known as the Mindfulness Practice. CMV is also an affordable Buddhist Retirement Community. We are nonsectarian and visiting Teachers offer practices from Buddhist and other Mystical and Indigenous traditions. Traditional Sweat Lodge Ceremonies are also held at CMV. The Center is nestled between the Sacred Ahuarango and Mandango mountains in the tranquil Andean pueblo known as Vilcabamba (The Valley of Longevity and Sacred Valley) in Loja, Ecuador. We are on the edge of town, within walking distance from the river and Rumi Wilco Nature Preserve. We grow and serve organic vegetables, fruits and berries.
We also have a medicinal plant garden from which we make and serve tea. We have affordable rooms for rent by the week or month. We also have kitchen and laundry facilities for residents and guests to use.
