Faciliies, cabin, jungle view, pool with a small waterfall. Very very helpful and accomodating stuff. I spoke to multiple people and everyone tried to step out of their way to help me. Very good hospitality

It's simply a piece of paradise in the jungle. Definitely the most special stay I had in Colombia. The owner Gabriel speaks very good English and provides with all information and recommends great places around. The lady who works there (Carmen) is fantastic. She prepares simple but delicious breakfast and takes care of the facility (always with a great smile). The bungalows are amazing, big and simple to relax and sleep well. Mosquito nets everywhere. The big bungalows have and open space above the room to practice yoga. Great restaurant and bar a few minutes on foot. El Zaino entrance for Tyrona Parque Nacional is 2,5 km walking distance. Thank you so much for such an amazing stay!!!!

This little piece of paradise was truly a spectacular stay. Located right by the river, perfect for a dip. The most comfy beds that we have stayed in and a good size room with a lovely shower. Perfect to relax by the water in a hammock.

if you’re looking to be in the middle of nowhere in the jungle, not too far from a Columbian National Park, then this is a pretty good spot to choose. simple but very comfortable, excellent bed. all the people who work there are genuinely good people

Beautiful property with lots of greenery and some cute pets. We had a lovely cabin with a very comfortable bed. We only stayed for a night but we would have loved to stay longer. The couple running the hostel were very sweet and were willing to hold our luggage while we visited Parque Tayrona for a small fee. There are a few stores and restaurants near the property to load up on food for park visitors. We also enjoyed a hearty breakfast at the hostel.

This is a very unique experience that you do not easily get else where! From the bottom of the mountain going up and until you get down again after your stay, you are fully covered into jungle, tranquillity and no-tourism. Out of the real world and back to nature. The way up is challenging, so do not expect a real road and you have to be in a good shape! It is done by bike dudes that bring you to a certain point up and you finish your way up by yourself. The stay is not a normal stay since the hosts Juan Pablo and Marcel take care of you as a family. They cook breakfast, lunch and dinner (for extra cost) for all the guests with the organic food from the jungle and everyone is relaxing, making music, chatting and eating together. But no worries if you need some privacy, the houses are very nice, build as it used to be in a jungle and the dome is a very unique experience in the forest. You can do some hikes in the surrounding area at the waterfall where you are the only one. The stay is sustainable, organic and self-sufficient, so you drink and shower with the mountain water and the toilet feces are used for the surrounding area to grow plants. If you have a weak stomach, I recommend to bring a big bottle of drinking water.

We had such a great experience during our stay and felt so happy and comfortable. The apartment was so beautiful, peaceful and clean. The owners were so lovely and helped us with everything we needed plus they gave us some great recommendations for the surrounding areas!! They also cooked us a big delicious breakfast every morning and they made something different each day! The value for money is really great 😁

The breakfast was delicious and the host, Johanna was wonderful. The location had views for miles in every direction and even had a sea view. The room was so quiet but being woken up by Howler Monkeys is something I will never forget.
