About

Encanto Hostel is a unique property situated amidst nature on Colombia's Caribbean coast. Our accommodation options include private and shared rooms, and a river-facing terrace, offering guests an authentic experience. Our goal is to provide our guests with a comfortable and unforgettable stay while exploring the natural beauty that surrounds us.

We are located in Mendihuaca, a beautiful area just 45 minutes away from Santa Marta. Our location allows guests to enjoy the tranquillity of nature while still being close to nearby attractions like Tayrona National Park. Our target audience comprises tourists seeking to appreciate the natural beauty of Colombia. We want to inform our guests that Encanto Hostel is in a natural reserve. To help preserve this beautiful environment, there is a one-time entrance fee of 5,000 COP (approximately 1.5 USD) per person. This fee provides access to the enchanting 'Poza Encantada,' a hidden gem worth exploring during your stay, and helps contribute to the conservation of this pristine area.

Our rooms feature private balconies overlooking the river, daily cleaning service, and high-quality bedding for a comfortable stay. Additionally, we offer our guests access to the river, Wi-Fi, and free parking in front of the hostel for added convenience.

As a reminder to our valued guests, please be aware that due to our remote location surrounded by natural beauty, internet access at Encanto Hostel can be limited at times. We encourage you to embrace this opportunity to disconnect from the digital world and immerse yourself in the serenity of our natural reserve.

Super underrated hidden gem! Really nice facilities/ dorms. Quite peaceful. Super lovely/ helpful family. Food was great too :) Would be incredible if there were more people staying/ was more social but unfortunately it was super quiet when we were there. Great base for tayrona national park!

It’s a great place to chill and have some peaceful time. It’s close to great beaches and a beautiful waterfall Poza Encantada, we had great company and a guide who helped us during the walking
