Nice little Balneario. We arrived late but could still use the pool. Camping was possible next to the river. Wi-Fi was free. 6000 per person. Clean Toilets. Absolute recommendation.

What a nice retreat! We planned to stop just overnight rest after exhausting driving all the way from San Gil and we ended up for two full days here! That much we loved it! Place is very basic in terms of facilities, but you have all you need - two refreshing pool with clean water, toilet, dressing rooms, even WiFi (extra 3k COP per 2 nights, which is basically for free!), considering that you are basically in the pure nature in the middle of nowhere = that’s a top deal!🤝
On top of that the owners are super-friendly and interested in overlanders and their travelling stories!😉👌

A very peaceful place, when we stopped here on a Thursday night on our way north. Due to rainy weather, we parked our van close to the main house, with basic toilets and shower. The pools were empty, because we came during the week, which was no issue for us. People are very friendly. WiFi is available now. Price still 6k COP p.p.

Perfect spot, 2 km away from the main road so it is super quiet at night. Host is super nice, river is refreshing (we were able to have a quick dip in the morning, although be careful because the current is pretty strong), toilets, showers, tables with shadow - what else do us overlanders need really :) price still 6 000 per person per night

Excellent stop after the long drive from Santa Marta. You can park down by the river and listen to the river/jungle. Shower and bathrooms typical. Stayed one night on the way to Chicamocha. I think off-season as the swimming pools were all empty, but who cares when the river is refreshing and we found a calm eddy for the kids to play in.

Wonderful place. Basically like wild camping on a river, but with a bathroom. The host is super nice and there’s a little kiosk. Somehow there were no bugs. We went in the beginning of the rainy season and the road was fine without 4x4. Couldn’t swim in the river though. 6000pP.

Awesome place in the middle of nowhere. 2 pools (only filled on weekends) and access to the river. Pilar is a very kind and welcoming host. She even took us for walks and showed us a nearby fish farm and her farmland. She gifted us produce from her farm and shared food with us.
There is a small kiosk with chips, sodas and beers at a reasonable price and by now they even have wifi (but no mobile reception at all).
Payed 6000 COP/P/N and stayed 3 nights.

Lovely place right by the river! Very refreshing swim. There are also 2 pools, but they are only filled during weekends or for groups on reservation. Pilar is such a friendly host and very welcoming.

If you like a quiet spot and refreshing water you are right here! Chill place next to the river with 2 big natural pools, toilet and shower. Pilar and her family are very welcoming - great place to relax.

Drive down the dirt road and cross the bridge, it’s the gate on your left.
