Very good space, but not suitable for trucks. You can get into the city either on foot or by tuk-tuk (13k). The owners are very friendly and speak English very well (English/Spanish teachers). The place is very quiet and from the end of January 2024 there will be a direct Starlink Internet connection in addition to the WAN. Still 20k pppn

Not Big Rig friendly.
The entrance way is tight. We are 2,25m wide and 2,88m high. It was not possible to enter the parking lot.
But we can park at the entrance. See picture of the yellow Volkswagen or from
our white Hymer.
The Hostel is in a beautiful nature with a lot of birds and a cold river on the backside. The Bathroom are good and the shower hot ( look that the shower is pluged in) The hosts are super friendly and helpful.

Maybe a little bit tricky when you leave because there is a short but steep hill.
For us with front wheel not possible and we needed held from a truck.

I wanted to repost about this place, as some comments where related to the size of the van. Today the “entrance” was widened a bit so we managed to get out with our van (7m long, 3m high). The owner and hos family are so sweet and kind, and want to accomodate the Overlanders passing by. We cut down some braches together, so now the vans can enter and exit. Still remains a small space, hut at least one can enter and exit without too much hassle.

Great place to relax. Beautiful nature. Kitchen and bathroom are basic but well equipped.

We arrived with a huge van (7m) so the whole parking is taken. Need to check before if there is place. Also to get there, it is quite an adventurous drive for the lst 400 meters.

Nice cabañas outside of Jardín. We could barely make it to the parking lot with our Fiat Ducato (6m length, 2.5m height). The entrance is low and narrow. If your vehicle is bigger we would not recommend it.

Lovely family on the property. A lot of birds and beautiful garden. Clean but basic shower and toilet. Possibility to wash dishes. To get to town you can either catch a TukTuk (12‘000 COP each way) or walk 45 minutes.

Very nice place! Small space for overlanders but the beautiful garden with lots of birds makes up for it. Free coffee. In the kitchen they have a very cool wood fired stove, but don't worry, if you don't like using it, they have a small has run stove, to. Still 15.000 per person.

This place is owned by a very friendly couple (Francy and Elkin) that lives in town (Jardin). They're here most of the time in the mornings, but they can be reached through WhatsApp: +57 300 620 31 20 should you miss them.

The place to put a vehicle is rather small and is also used as a parking lot for people in the cabañas. But you'll be right next to the shelter, kitchen and bathroom.

The whole terrain is well tended and looks like a garden that receives a lot of love. There are bird feeding stations here and there and there are many exotic birds.

They recommended the coffee tour at Finca Clara in Verdun and patiently explained how to get there by bus. (Added the tour as a tourist attraction on ioverlander.)

We came in for one night, stayed three. Paid 15,000 COP per person per night (110 V electricity included).

BTW: At one point in time, there was a volunteer who spoke English. The couple speaks Spanish.

Super place for bird warching! Even toucans come for the bananas. Good WiFi, kitchen, shower, etc. We are 6 meters long and could make it to here. 7 meters would be the outer limit though! One of the managers speaks very well English.

An excellent place. Has all you need: bathrooms clean, hot shower, WiFi, kitchen, refrigerator and even washing machine. Also you can see many birds :) . A very quiet. Only sometimes in the area of trout culture placed gunpowder that sound as shots.
Owners are expanding the entrance of the parking. Only for 3 vehicles. We recommend talk to Francis when you arrive: WhatsApp +57 3006203120

Un excelente lugar. Tiene todo lo que necesitas: baños limpios, ducha caliente, Wi-Fi, cocina, refrigerador e incluso lavadora. Lo más lindo es que puedes ver muchas aves. Un lugar muy tranquilo. Solo a veces en la zona de cultivo de trucha colocan pólvora que suenan como disparos.

Los dueños están agrandando la entrada del estacionamiento. Solo para 3 vehículos.

También es recomendable reservar al WhatsApp +57 3006203120 (Francis)

We had a very nice weekend here. The place is super quite with a lot of beautiful birds around the camping. Nice outdoor kitchen with hammocks and sitting area. The hot shower and toilet are very clean. Super friendly owner. To get to town you have to get the bus or a tuktuk, its 4 km away. Enjoy!

The dirt road leading to the cabana is easy to miss. It’s marked on a white board saying “reserve ...something” the name is shown on the upper right corner of the board. Follow the dirt road to the end and you’ll find it.

Amazing place as everyone had mentioned, the owner Elkin (excuse spelling) was a lovely person, we camped for 3 days, cost per day is 20K COP, had use of kitchen, hot showers and frig. Loved it...a must if you are coming to Jardin.

Amazing spot, definitely the best spot around Jardin. We stayed at Truchera Montemar prior to coming here, which is ok if you want to stay close to town. La Isla is way more nicer though. Fast WiFi, hot shower, full kitchen and nice seating areas around the garden with tons of beautiful birds.

We stayed a week there, super nice place, lots of birds, the river nearby, the fire during evening. The owners are super friendly, they helped us with our car, and we went together at a finca of coffee. But checked before going, not a lot of space, we were with a Kombi and another couple with a Sprinter. There is buses every hours to go to Jardin, otherwise it's 30 minutes by walk.

If you enjoy birds and being out of town this is a great option. There are feeders which attract about 6 species of Tanagers and the Motmots are tame. Beautiful garden, friendly owners, outdoor kitchen. The road down is narrow but fine and there is not much parking space so only small vehicles. The prices are still the same for camping and rooms.

very nice place to stay. lots of birds. lots of space to relax. flat space for 1 van or small motor home. the kitchen was not very clean (especially the fridge) but a new volunteer arrived 2 days ago and it can be the adaptation time... clean bathrooms. 10 000 cop per person. you can also stay in a room with private bathroom for 25 000cop per person. the garden is amazing!

By Far the BEST place to stay in Jardin. There is room for 1 rig at the moment, so definitely come by here and see if there is space. Fast Wi-Fi, Hot Showers, Potable water, and if you are a bird lover, this will be paradise. It's just a 10K COP moto-taxi ride to town. It's off the main road, so its nice and quiet with the river lulling you to sleep. I think you can fish for trout in the river... If not there is a trout farm right next door. 10K COP p/p p/n. Highly Recommended

There is quite a big change here! The lady in charge left a month ago, and the owner of the land took back the business. They are making some improvement of the place (creating new toilet/shower block, flat space for camping, outdoor kitchen for the camping, ....). They just start.

The price change too. We paid 15000pesos for two per night (tent camping). You can use the outdoor kitchen (electric stove), wash your clothes (by hand), enjoy the river, watch the beautiful birds around. Other point which change: no more wifi for now, because the lady left with the dish, and the owner can't afford it (4 million of pesos!), he prefers to put this money to improve the place. They can cook for you as well: 10000 for dinner, 5000 for breakfast.

Room available at 25000pesos per person. Clean.

Actually there is no much space for Overlander (truck/car), because he is using the space for the building materials.

And I forgot, the new name of this place is: Cabana la Isla.

Pretty place for chilling! We ended up by staying as volunteer to help them with the working process.

The owners are absolutely lovely. Just go for it!!!!

Narrow rocky road (300 m) down to the hostel with small parking space. We made it down with our 21 feet Sprinter but there was barely enough space in the parking to turn around. I would not recommend to attempt to drive down with any larger van, backing out would be a pain. About 15 minutes out of Jardin by car or tuktuk, long walk to town. The price is 15,000 pp wo breakfast and 20,000 pp with breakfast. Wifi is available now. Electrical with long cord. Wifi pretty good.

The hostel just moved to this new location. Is 400 meters down to the end of the dirt road. Space for tents and two small vans. They have Internet but in the old location, they are working on having internet here too. Claro and Tigo 3G is on and off. 30000 per night per vehicle including breakfast. Beautiful place and surroundings, a short ride in tuk tuck to town or 45 minutes walking. Great birdwatching. We stayed 3 nights. Electricity available with long extension cord.
