Amazing place to stay! Completely remote but so peaceful and beautiful. Carlos was an incredible host and guide, he made the whole experience incredible and truly once in a lifetime. We all agreed the tours and the hostal was the best we'd stayed in during our travels! Assuming you like a bit of adventure and being in touch with nature I could not recommend enough!

We had an amazing stay at Búho due to the fantastic location and the friendly and attentive care of Carlos and his wife. Not only is the hostal beautiful and very clean but also Carlos was a great guide on the tours we made. Surely I can highly recommend to stay here.

I'd absolutely recommend Buho!! It's a lovely hostel surrounded by nature and close to the Santa Sofia community. I did 3 tours whilst I was there, all of which were incredible. The guides and staff are all local people with a lot of knowledge of nature and the community, as well as being really friendly and welcoming. The food's delicious & locally sourced. It's the perfect opportunity to disconnect from life and be in nature, I had a very special time there and hope to return in the future!
