This is a fantastic space and Martha has great energy. We camped on the street right outside the hostal doors and paid a donation of 30k. The common area is beautiful and the washroom/shower are very clean. It was pretty noisy at night and at 4:30am you could hear everyone setting out for their hikes. Martha is guide too and I recommend you pay the 50k extra to get you sorted for a hike if you are planning on doing one.🍁

Stayed for a couple of nights in low season, sometimes cold at night, shower hot after some fine tuning (but who complains).
Quiet.

One of my favorite hostels in Colombia so far! It has a really welcoming vibe, and is really the perfect basecamp for doing any of the hikes in the Nat. Park.

Martha the owner is super knowledgeable about everything in this area, and is also the perfect matchmaker if you are looking for a hiking group but traveling solo/in a pair. They can arrange the guide & transportation from here, which is much easier than trying to jump through the complicated process of finding a guide and doing everything on your own. Her guides are 250.000 per group, and transport is also 250.000. You can have up to 5 people in a group, and at that point it’s only 100.000 per person for a full day hike, which is really very reasonable given how strenuous they are.

The private room I had was 75k per night, it was one of the small upstairs rooms and had outstanding hot water. The downstairs rooms did not have quite as strong hot water (they are electric vs gas). Breakfast is also included if you’re staying here.

You can park cars and motos in the lot directly across the street, super secure, and 5.000 per day

Nice, clean, basic rooms for 40k. Mostly foreign tourists in the hostel. There's a kitchen where you can cook. Parking in a paid lot across the screen. Small covered area for one motorbike.

If you are not much larger than a Sprinter van, this is a wonderful place to stay. Extended length vehicles (>6m) may have trouble with the narrow roads. Easy to park across the street of the hostal. It’s flat and quiet at night. We took a room in the hostal but I’m sure Martha and Alfredo, the owners, would let you park there and use the showers/bathrooms for a small fee.

Martha is also a very nice guide and can help arrange everything you need for a trek in the Cucuy NP.
