The Pelican House Hostel — Hotel in Bahía Solano (Mutis)

The Hostel is really well situated and the view is beautiful. The rooms are open, no AC nor ventilation so nights are very warm. Expect animals in your room. Mattress is very uncomfortable and smells weird. During our 5 night stay, no cleaning of the rooms or fresh towels were offered. Sometimes you got the feeling that you annoyed the staff when you had questions, only volunteers were nice. Kitchen for common use, especially the fridge, was dirty.

The best and most beautiful place to stay in el Valle, Chocó is the Pelican House. Daniela and Emanuelle are the happy owners of this hostel which is lying in between the jungle and the sea. They are open since 9 months and made a place where you can relax and enjoy the beauty of nature. I stayed here for 2 weeks and I’m sad to leave. The hostel feels like a home.

Book the tour to el Tigre! It’s an amazing adventure in...
