Lumbre is at km 7 on the road from Salento to the Cocora Valley. On Google Maps it appears as “Lumbre Forest Lodge”.
By air
The closest airports are Armenia (El Edén) and Pereira (Matecaña). From either one it is about 1 hour and 15 minutes by car.
By car
- From Bogotá: about 7 to 8 hours via La Línea. The tunnel helped a lot, but traffic builds up on long weekends.
- From Medellín: about 6 hours.
- From Cali: about 4 hours.
In Salento, follow the signs to the Cocora Valley. The road is paved almost to our gate. The last 250 meters (820 feet) are unpaved, but any car can make it. You do not need a 4×4.
From Salento without a car
- Willys jeeps: they leave from the main square to Cocora. Ask the driver to drop you at Lumbre, km 7.
- Private transfer: we can arrange it for COP 50,000 by car or COP 70,000 by van (November 2026 rates).
- Uber or taxi from Armenia or Pereira.
