Flora del Rio — Hotel in Quindío

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Flora del Rio, in Pijao, Quindío, and it was an experience I won't soon forget! This charming hotel is perfectly nestled in the heart of the lush coffee region, surrounded by vibrant coffee plants and an array of colorful birds.

I was captivated by the cozy wooden cabin that turn into my home for two days. They cabins arre thoughtfully designed to blend seamlessly with the natural surroundings, mine had all the amenities I needed, allowing me to relax and unwind in style. The hotel is also conveniently located near a serene river, which provided the perfect backdrop for peaceful nature walks.

I appreciated the variety of options available regard to food, please don't miss the artisanal pizza if you go. Breakfast was living a farm experience, freshly made coffee, village arepas, fruits picked from the same farm, a sustainable and environmentally responsible delight.

What truly made my stay special was the peaceful atmosphere. It was a welcome escape from the hustle and bustle of city life, allowing me to recharge and clear my mind. The friendly staff were incredibly welcoming and eager to share insights about the local culture, making my experience even more enriching.

Flora del Rio is a hidden gem, and our stay there was an unforgettable experience. The hosts, Pablo and Melissa, are incredibly warm and generous, creating an atmosphere that feels like stepping into a secret garden within walking distance of Pijao.

Pablo and Melissa have restored an old coffee farm, reforesting the land with a deep passion for the environment. Pablo’s extensive knowledge of native plants is impressive, and his dedication to the land is evident in every corner. Melissa’s creativity shines through in the stunning mosaics that adorn the floors and walls. Each room at Flora del Rio is a work of art, with beautiful wooden creations, handmade bed frames, tables, and handcrafted sinks. Everything is crafted from wood, bamboo, and mosaic tiling, making each space unique and special.

But what truly sets Flora del Rio apart is the warmth and hospitality of Pablo and Melissa. They made us feel completely at home, as if we were visiting long-lost friends. The inviting environment they have created is complemented by delicious food, adding to the overall experience.

Our stay at Flora del Rio was amazing. Starting from the accommodation, you could see the care they put on building each cabin. The Colibrì cabin has stunning views on the river and the surrounding forest. Waking up listening to the sound of the river and the birds is unique. Pablo and Melissa welcomed us warmly in their hacienda, speaking about Colombia, its nature, its people and its food in a passionate way. We did the permaculture tour with Pablo who walked us through every sector of their farm speaking in details about native plants and their future plan to expand the farm and you could feel his passion about preserving indigenous plants and protecting the environment. Also dinner and breakfast were cooked with love with super local products. In addition Pijao is really a gem, away from touristy places. It's a pity we spent only two nights there. If you have a chance, book your stay here and you wouldn't be disappointed! Just a final note: take into consideration that the farm is 15min away from the main plaza and you have to walk on an unpaved road, so carrying a backpack...
