Activities
HIKING
We offer several free guided hikes to get our guests best acquainted with the immediate surroundings, all within reasonable distance of the farm. The most accessible are the waterfalls and natural swimming pools. Not more than a five minute walk uphill from the lodging facilities, you will find the cascades and terraced crystalline pools of "La Quebrada Santa Rosa", our closest mountain stream. The "Quebrada hikes" present magnificent views of the entire valley and also give visitors a chance to appreciate some untouched secrets of the area. Visitors can really get a good look at local heritage by taking advantage of our "Trapiche Hike." About thirty minutes uphill from the farm there is a panela mill or "trapiche". Panela is a product extracted from sugar cane and is a staple in Colombian kitchens nation wide. This hike gives our guests the opportunity to see the local community come together, truly an awesome cultural experience.
​
The Trapiche Hike, because of its extensiveness, is provided at an additional cost of $45.000 COP/person.
