“Outstanding location, people and accommodation! Highly recommend”
We had the most wonderful few days at Villa Yira. Ruben, Diandra and their kids were so welcoming - as were the staff (we especially love Machu the dog too!) The location is simply incredible. Peaceful and picturesque, in the jungle surrounded by nature. Be sure to get a mototaxi up the hill with your luggage though for 10,000 COP. We didn’t realise how far it was and lugged everything up hill.

“Wonderful ❤️”
We had a wonderful time at Villa Yira. This family is really fantastic and helps wherever necessary. The place is slightly remote, but beautiful. Tyrona national park is easy to reach. Not to forget, the food was exceptionally delicious.

“A splendid retreat in the jungle!”
A wonderful and tranquil retreat nestled in the jungle. While it may be slightly pricier compared to other options in the area, it's absolutely worth every penny! The open cabins seamlessly merge with nature, creating a magical atmosphere. The food was exceptional – delicious and presented as if you were dining in a top-notch restaurant. The staff who manage the place are also delightful, incredibly welcoming, and always willing to engage in a friendly chat or provide valuable tips about the region. I absolutely adored my experience!

“Beautiful place with great atmosphere, yummy food and lovely hosts.”
Very nice location in the beautiful nature. It’s perfect for family holidays. We loved the atmosphere, the very good food and everyone who made our stay extremely special. There are nice little hiking opportunities close by and it’s not far from one of the entrances to the tayrona park. Thanks to Hanna, Octavio, David and the whole team who took care of us. 😊

“Oasis”
It was wonderful. Very familiar and with so much attention to detail. The owners help with any request and are so incredibly caring. Also, it is very worthwhile to eat there. The chef is top notch. Super food! We enjoyed the stay and can only recommend it. Thank you very much!

“Beautiful cabanas between mountains and rivers”
Everything was great: lovely cabanas within a wild nature and super friendly staff (big up to JD and Ruben). The breakfasts are really nice (try their homemade bread) and the other meals as well :) You’ll need a 4x4 to reach the spot but from here you can go hiking in the mountain (multiple trails) or run next to the river. Def recommended!!!

“Food poisoning, screaming children, very basic hut and no Wi-Fi - all at a very premium price”
The food (for the times where I did not get food poisoning) was good, although over-priced. Other guests were super nice
