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

Juanvelasco Germany

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.

Nathaly Germany

First of all, it is completely amazing to be in such a place where the beach is almost for you and your companions. For those who hate crowded places, this is for you. Also, you are surrounded of wonderful nature, so you enjoy of privacy and pure air. Not only that, the sea is rough and you realize about its power and how wonderful this world is.

Jonathan Colombia

Bedbugs or something - I was covered in red dots in the morning. No power plugs in the room.

Sabrina Switzerland

Amazing place. Private beach in a hut. Super staff. Well worth the hike to this place. Incredible beach and waterfalls. Ideal to just get away

Dilesh Canada

The location is serene and beautiful. The cabanas are a really relaxing experience and we had a great time reading books in hammocks, listening to the ocean. Meals were pretty tasty and affordable given the remote setting (that everything must be carried in via horses and mules). We were there for new years and the staff put together some extra decoration and celebration, which was really enjoyable.

Allison United States of America

This place is a beautiful paradise. Full of peace and calmness. A true gem in the wilderness!

Magda United States of America

Beautiful location after a very channeling hike. We had a deck on our hut with chairs and a view of the ocean. The food at dinner was outstanding (fried fish) and the included breakfast food was good enough. They had snacks and bottled water for sale which was convenient after a long hike. There were only a handful of other guests there so it felt private.

Julia United States of America

Rewarding location after a beautiful hike. The ladies who worked at the reception and kitchen were wonderful and welcoming! Would recommend this spot over the 'usual' popular spots in Tayrona such as Cabo San Juan.
