Welcome to our unique property, a18-hectare reserve located in the heart of Colombia. Here, nature lovers can immerse themselves in the beauty of ancient forest and abundant waterfalls. These cascades offer a refreshing escape and an opportunity for unforgettable hikes and exploration. The forest teems with biodiversity, making it a paradise for bird watchers and wildlife enthusiasts. The other part of the property has relatively flat grasslands to stroll on and to enjoy the farm animals that we have. Our land is officially recognized as a reserve under Colombian law, ensuring the preservation of its natural splendor. The accommodation While our rural house might not be the most beautiful, it offers a clean and welcoming environment that captures the essence of rustic charm. We believe in honesty, and it's important to mention that the house is indeed in need of renovation. However, its simplicity is part of the allure, allowing you to experience a genuine connection with the surroundings. It's a place where you can unwind and appreciate the simple pleasures of life. Essentials for your comfort Despite its humble state, the house is equipped with basic necessities to ensure a comfortable stay. You will find a bed with mosquito net, providing a restful night's sleep amidst the natural ambiance. On top of that there is a well equipped kitchen, and clean toilet and shower. Our project is more than just a rural house; it's about (re)connect with nature and enjoy it in a truly meaningful way.
