Lodges in El Zaino

Great location! I had little monkeys on my balcony in the morning :) Super helpful staff, they even walked me to the bus to make sure I'll take the right one. Delicious food and good value for money

Amazing place close to Tayrona NP. The photos on booking looked to good to be true, but they are 100% accurate. The style of the buildings merges nicely into the jungle, their ecological approach is transparent and visible. The beds are extremely comfortable and offer mosquito nets (in addition to all windows and doors being equipped with them as well). The restaurant offers fresh, regional and very tasty dishes for a reasonable price (and good variety) which is important as there is little else around. The pool and facilities are well-kept and inviting. And they even have a little zoo (a cat and a parrot freely strolling the yard, turtles and fishes). And the staff is very friendly, service-oriented and goes out of their way to make your stay pleasurable (special shout-out and thanks to Santiago). A small paradise in the jungle, we regretted not being able to stay longer.

Faciliies, cabin, jungle view, pool with a small waterfall. Very very helpful and accomodating stuff. I spoke to multiple people and everyone tried to step out of their way to help me. Very good hospitality

I stayed at Hierbabuena after three days in Tayrona park. It was the perfect place to relax and recover after the trekking days. The cabin is not only beautiful but also very comfortable and clean. Piedad, the owner, really takes care of every guest and prepares delicious meals. The atmosphere is calm and the garden and pool perfect for relaxing. Highly recommend.

This little piece of paradise was truly a spectacular stay. Located right by the river, perfect for a dip. The most comfy beds that we have stayed in and a good size room with a lovely shower. Perfect to relax by the water in a hammock.

Julián y Diana were always there to suggest activities and make sure our short stay was pleasant. The meals that they prepared were amazing. we even had a bonfire at night which was magical.

Beautiful property with lots of greenery and some cute pets. We had a lovely cabin with a very comfortable bed. We only stayed for a night but we would have loved to stay longer. The couple running the hostel were very sweet and were willing to hold our luggage while we visited Parque Tayrona for a small fee. There are a few stores and restaurants near the property to load up on food for park visitors. We also enjoyed a hearty breakfast at the hostel.

This is a very unique experience that you do not easily get else where! From the bottom of the mountain going up and until you get down again after your stay, you are fully covered into jungle, tranquillity and no-tourism. Out of the real world and back to nature. The way up is challenging, so do not expect a real road and you have to be in a good shape! It is done by bike dudes that bring you to a certain point up and you finish your way up by yourself. The stay is not a normal stay since the hosts Juan Pablo and Marcel take care of you as a family. They cook breakfast, lunch and dinner (for extra cost) for all the guests with the organic food from the jungle and everyone is relaxing, making music, chatting and eating together. But no worries if you need some privacy, the houses are very nice, build as it used to be in a jungle and the dome is a very unique experience in the forest. You can do some hikes in the surrounding area at the waterfall where you are the only one. The stay is sustainable, organic and self-sufficient, so you drink and shower with the mountain water and the toilet feces are used for the surrounding area to grow plants. If you have a weak stomach, I recommend to bring a big bottle of drinking water.

We had such a great experience during our stay and felt so happy and comfortable. The apartment was so beautiful, peaceful and clean. The owners were so lovely and helped us with everything we needed plus they gave us some great recommendations for the surrounding areas!! They also cooked us a big delicious breakfast every morning and they made something different each day! The value for money is really great 😁
