About

Welcome to Maracuya Hostal!

Our hostel combines relaxation and adventure perfectly. Just a 4 minute ride to town, our hostel is on the Arenal river road which leads to some of the purest water in Colombia. With our mountain bike, river tube, and horse rentals, you’ll be all set for the fun, on your own, or with our guides. You have so many water choices to walk or ride to in both directions. Just around the corner to the left from the hostel is Las Tangas and down the road to the right is the very special bridge leading to Cascada Honda. It’s special b/c its too narrow for cars, trucks and buses, so all you’ll have is nature, and the occasional smiling farmer passing by on foot, horse, bicycle, or motorcycle.

Afterwards, chill on our Terraza Sports Bar in our Yucatan hammocks, play ping pong, salsa dance, and get some drinks flowing as you unwind and mingle with travelers from all over the world and Colombians from all over this magical country.

We'll see you soon!

We also offer a wide range of cultural tours like Cacao, birds watching, local food tours, and more.

The hostel is an absolute recommendation, especially its terrace, which was my highlight! Due to its location, nature and various rivers are close by, perfect for hiking and bathing. Farid is a very attentive and friendly host; you can ask him anything. I will definitely come back. Thanks for everything!

Restful get away. Patio was perfect for remote work. Strong wifi. This hostel is a bit out of the way but perfect to get away from the hustle. Rivers abound but an effort to walk the hills to get to them. I suggest getting your food and water at city center upon arrival at the terminal. No stores or restaurants close by. Google will say a flat walk to the hostel but get a tuk tuk. Frida was a great host.

I loved my stay at Maracuyá. It has more of a home stay feel than a hostel, which was perfect as I was coming from Medellín and was in need of disconnecting. Frida was the perfect host, making everyone feel welcome and comfortable very quickly, setting a relaxed atmosphere. Would recommend getting a sugar cane juice from Martin across the road. Loved playing ping pong on the rooftop!
