Finca El Maco

Top choice in Cauca & Huila


This tranquil hostel has comfortable cabins set amid a pretty garden – all with piping-hot water and comfortable beds – while the dorm is inside a traditional maloka (earthen dwelling).

To reach the hostel, take the road to the Parque Arqueológico and turn right at the Hotel Yalconia. From here it's a 400m walk uphill (COP$7000 in a taxi).

The ecological suite is a winner, with two sleeping areas, a lounge with an open fireplace and a massive, bright bathroom. Homemade organic yogurt and excellent curry are served at the on-site restaurant. The helpful Swiss owner organizes trips throughout the region.
