100% recommended! Beautiful place surrounded by nature, very easy to reach by bus from town - COP 2500. Even more beautiful people! Sandra, Rafael and the others hanging out at the Posada are all super kind. We arrived a week after the earthquake and feared some disruption but everything in and around Salento is up and running. Very pleased to come and support a community that relies so much on tourism

I cannot recommend this hostel enough. It is super chill and the perfect place to relax after coming from a big city like Bogotá or Medellin. The people working there put their heart and soul into it and really add to the calm atmosphere. If you want to organise any activity they will do whatever they can to help. How to get there: Its intimating at first when youre not sure but every easy. Go to the bus station or the Willy keeps in the town and show them on google maps - approx 2100-3000COP
