Ramon was a wonderful host! He helped us discover new hikes, waterfalls, beaches, and served us a delicious breakfast each morning. We felt at home in his place. The view from the top of his property is beautiful, and it was great to be so close to the river and hike right from our cabana. We could walk to Tayrona and take a short bus ride to other sites. The small town of San Rafael was the perfect landing for us; we loved experiencing culture in that way. The accommodations are simple but we're exactly what our family wanted.

They also agreed to keep our bags when we went to Tayrona for 4 nights. The place was very clean. I highly recommend if you just need to sleep there a couple of nights on your way to Tayrona or Minca.

Very flexible check-in and check out. Ricardo is a very good host, can give you a lot of tips about Santa Marta and surrounding. He takes care of every detail, helpful and answers quick on your questions. He also speaks very good English, what was very helpful as we don’t speak Spanish. He was traveller himself, so he really knows what guest need to feel home.
