About

Relax amongst the mango and papaya trees in one of the best hostel gardens in the country complete with a heated jacuzzi to unwind after a hard day of adventure.

The original and most popular hostel in San Gil famous for its helpful Information and a great social atmosphere Macondo continues to rank number 1 in all major guide books. Host of San Gils famous Tejo Nights (local game with explosions) its a great place to meet other travellers and form groups to take on adventure activities.

We have a great selection of board games, Netflix, lockers, kitchen, coffee etc but its the quality of the activities and free information that we give saving our guests money and helping them have the best possible experience that has made us so popular.

With so much on offer in San Gil from so many companies of different standards we help you not waste time and get you on the water, in the air, on 2 wheels or underground with the best guides. Safety is huge for us and we wont recommend anything that I personally havent done myself.

Shaun and everyone at the hostel have a great things going on. Organised activities for everyone staying at the hostel, cooking classes and tejo etc. As well as organising all the activities outside of the hostel, rafting and paragliding for example, all competitively priced. The location is perfect and very reasonably priced. We absolutely loved it.
