The whole area was wonderful. Calm. Clean. Fun. The fact that it was so isolated makes it understandable that it doesn't have as many amenities as other places. However the place is meant for adventurous people.

Beautiful location with very nice staff. The hike was a bit challenging to get there but worth it. The food was delicious but if you are vegan or have food restrictions I would take my own food. Make sure you do your research before going, there are 2 ways to get there one from Zaino and the other from Calabazo. Zaino is longer but prettier and a little easier. Calabazo is mostly uphill at first but you can take a moto taxi to the start of the mountain hike. Make sure you take cash, everything is paid cash.

We arrived at Playa Brava Teyumakke on February 28th, 2022. The journey and the destinations were all that we hoped for and more! It was a long and fairly difficult hike to reach Playa Brava and an even harder walk to Cabo San Juan but worth every step. We were pleased that we had reserved one of the huts, and had a much-needed good night's sleep in the bed under our net. We spoke English and very little Spanish but the staff and management were very helpful. Good food, good people plus an awesome private beach right in front of our hut. It is as beautiful as all of the other posts mention. A truly once-in-a-lifetime journey to a spot where few have or will travel. Robert & Alyssa P. Omaha, NE USA

incredible location, accommodating hosts, friendly guests, dank activities!

David United States of America

The location is unbeatable! Way less crowded then other parts of Tayrona. The best way to experience the park!

Jaclyn United States of America

The property was beautiful, thoughtfully spread out in the couple hundred meters before the beach. Because this was the only lodging in the area, the beach felt private which was really nice compared to Cabo San Juan. Additionally: the staff was lovely, the cabana was spacious, the food was delicious, and the shower had a good temperature and pressure. Just a word of warning that hiking back up, either to Cabo San Juan or Calabazo, is pretty tough for the first bit!

Neha United States of America

beautiful cabin on the beach, perfectly rustic but very comfortable and very very clean. Staff were lovely and food was delicious. Totally recommend!

Allison Canada

so beautiful! a back packers paradise! a bit challenging to get to so that made it even better. once we were there it is so so so relaxing to just hear the waves and read books. no tvs, no big crowds. truly epic.

Brayton United States of America

Amazing breakfast and amazing location. The beach is so beautiful

The Ecolodge was amazing because it is secluded in the Tayrona park, you have to take a 3 hour hike from el calabazo entrance, which makes the experience absolutely unforgettable. The beach is private for the guests, the facilities were clean and nature friendly and the hosts were friendly and helpful. I definitely recommend it.
