La Cabaña Ecohotel - Valle del Cocora

Below the wax palms of Valle del Cocora, La Cabaña Ecohotel sits two kilometres along the road into one of Colombia's most-visited cloud forest valleys, placing guests within walking distance of the trailhead before day-trippers arrive from Salento.

Rooms face the garden or mountain slopes, each with a private bathroom and bathtub; the minibar and refrigerator suit stays of several nights. The restaurant serves themed dinners and packed lunches for hikers, while the outdoor fireplace and BBQ area draw guests together after afternoon rides. Horseback riding, cycling, fishing, and guided walking tours can all be arranged through the tour desk.

Salento's cobbled centre is roughly ten minutes by jeep; the property runs a shuttle for guests without transport.
