One of my favourite stays... EVER.. I loved the authenticity of this magical place. I had wanted to visit 3 years ago when i was last in Colombia and never made it, so this time i had to make it happen. Right from the start with booking the communication was fantastic with Andrea, there were bus strikes on and she was constantly keeping me updated on the available routes we could take, and how to get there, once we arrived at La Pena, we were met by Santi who was awesome and kind and was an all round amazing guy. We ziplined into the la casa where all the staff were attentive and quick to help us with our bags and give us a coffee that they make on site. They explained to us everything we could do and to enjoy our time there.
The cabin was amazing, with a fantastic view, the food was incredible and locally sourced/made, i genuinely couldn't find fault in anything and seeing the passion the team had for nature and their work and giving all those who came a unique experience was such a nice touch. La casa was beautifully designed and had really nice touches, it definitely felt like your home for the time you stayed.
Also my girl friend had the un-fortunate experience of passing out (most likely from the views) but the team there were quick to act in helping and getting her back on her feet, and to keep checking in following it. They were so attentive and calm alongside re-assuring her and comforting her embarrassment.
If you can get there - go.. You will not be disappointed, everything was just perfect and a great way to relax, get out of the city and re-connect with nature.. the sunset hammock experience is not to be missed.
Thanks to everyone who made our stay epic - I hope to return...
Read moreA must-do experience! This place is truly unique and well worth the journey from Medellín. Watching the sunset from the hammocks was definitely a highlight of our time in Colombia.
The main appeal is simply experiencing the place itself and soaking in the serene surroundings. They offer various activities, but there’s a lot of downtime in between, so I’d definitely recommend bringing a book or something to keep yourself entertained.
The staff were friendly; however, because they all live there, it sometimes felt like you were intruding on their space, which didn’t always feel the most welcoming.
Our only complaint was the noise level in the communal area. During our two-day stay, there were very few moments (if any) where it was quiet and peaceful. There was often a clash of music being played a bit too loudly, combined with someone practicing piano. At times, it was so overstimulating that we either retreated to our bedroom (which was in a separate building) or put on headphones to block out the noise. It’s a shame because it’s such a tranquil place, and many people likely plan on coming here to relax.
That said, overall, I would still recommend a stay here just for the...
Read moreestá ubicada cerca al pueblo El abejorral en el departamento de Antioquia, desde la estación de buses sur o norte de Medellín puedes tomar el bus a este pueblo $23.000 son aproximadamente entre 3-4horas de trayecto, después que llegas al pueblo puedes tomar un bus$10.000-20.000, chiva o camioneta $70.000 que tarda entre 1:20 minutos o 2 horas. Depende del clima y el estado de la vía (es totalmente trocha y en muy malas condiciones )te bajas en la tienda la 80 e inicias con el ascenso (en lo personal me pareció lo más duro de todo, son casi 40-50 minutos caminando en loma por unos caminitos súper estrechos y hasta peligrosos cuando llueve, llevar buenos zapatos ), llegas a un punto donde tienes la opción de seguir caminando hasta llegar a la casa o usar el canopy que en menos de 3 minutos llegas ($20.000). Una vez en la casa tienes las siguientes opciones de hospedaje: cabaña 2-4 personas $130.000 c/u mas botella de vino, acomodación múltiple 90.000 x persona. Tienen las siguientes actividades: CANOPY DE 400 METROS: $20.000 HAMACAS COLGANTES: $30.000 PENDULO $30.000 MALLA COLGANTE: $30.000 Todos precios por persona. También tienen planes de pasadías por $30.000, que incluye sólo el ingreso a la casa en el aire. (La verdad no creo q sea buena idea porque es mucho el sacrificio para llegar y doble esfuerzo en un solo día y no la alcanzas a disfrutar bien). Tienen un servicio de fotos con drone súper recomendado $30.000. 🔴ojo!! Para tener en cuenta: -No apto para niños menores de 7 años, personas con acrofobia y entomofobia (miedo a las alturas y a los insectos), enfermedades cardíacas etc. -No tienen servicio de alimentación es decir tienes q llevar tu comida o prepararla allá (te venden lo básico como huevos, arepa, arroz , agua etc) café ilimitado. Ir ligero de equipaje, llevar toalla de ducha (es montaña así que hace un poquito de frío) -En la noche hay muchos insectos llevar repelente, y si les tiene miedo mejor no vaya porque abundan en especial 🪳 voladoras 🤭. Es montaña, no espere que le coja muy bien la señal telefónica. -Es preferible viajar en transporte público, ya que no hay donde parquear y la vía es terrible 😞.
✅en conclusión, vale mucho la pena conocer este lugar, considero que podrían hacerse algunas mejoras como: Pintar, Las cabañas estan rayadas con mensajes algunos bonitos y otros muy grotescos, podrían plantearse colocar toldillos o encerrar un poco más las...
