Payment upon arrival by cash, taxes included (you can pay by card at 8% extra)
Cancellation Policy: 1 days before arrival.
Breakfast is included for free and a healthy home-cooked vegan lunch and dinner are available at $25.000 each.

Reception is open from 7:00 until 21:00 But outside of that, the Dutch owner and Colombian workers are available 24/7 in urgent cases. Since we already have 3 dogs and 3 horses, we can't accept other pets. The jungle is not an ideal place for families with small children, but they are welcome if supervised at all times. Since we are a new hostel, at times we are doing some upgrading on the construction, for example, building a bigger kitchen building. But during your stay, you will not be bothered by this, since all work is done manually.

Great place if you love to be up close with nature! The surroundings are so beautiful & It’s amazing to be somewhere so remote. The journey up is crazy but such an experience!! We had a great time swimming in the river! Our favourite was the vegan food - so fresh & yummy! It’s still early days for the hostel but we wish them luck for the future 🥰

An incredible hostel in the middle of the jungle! Daan has done a great job at creating a place for adventure lovers where you feel like you’re the only ones around. The journey to get there is an adventure in itself - on the back of a motorbike going through the Lost City trail. You’re rewarded with an awesome place to stay, set on a river which feels like an adult’s playground. Daan is also an incredible cook!
