“Great remote place if you need to disconnect from the hustle and bustle”
The area is maravillosa, quiet, disconnected from the world, ladies who were there made my stay more interesting by chatting about the culture and changes within the last 30 years in Colombia, views are incredible; soups were delicious! family vibe was fun. If you're a hike lover it's a great place with many different points on a map to visit! there are mats and a couple weights for the simplest workout. Kitties, dogos, a hen(please, get her a compatible friend!), monkeys, kolibris and parrots around <3

“Our favourite hostel”
We loved our stay at Mano Verde! It was so comfortable and welcoming. The food was delicious and plentiful. They had routes for hikes available and were happy to call you a moto whenever. We didn’t want to leave!

“A peaceful jungle escape with stunning views, rich wildlife, and warm hospitality — the perfect blend of nature, comfort”
A true hidden gem in the heart of nature! Mano Verde offers breathtaking jungle views, incredible birdwatching (yes, plenty of toucans!), and peaceful hike to waterfall. We loved the warm welcome from the so friendly team, the cozy room with hot shower and the delicious food. Pure paradise for nature lovers — can’t recommend it enough! We consciously chose this eco-friendly hostel to travel sustainably — and didn’t miss a single bit of comfort. If you’re especially interested in the birdwatching tour, it’s best to check in advance to make sure it’s available during your stay.

“A little paradise”
Location, staff, the wooden house, the dorms, the excellent food and joint meals (also vegetarian alternative): everything of highest standard. Valentin and his team (including the two dogs) are wonderful and the place is in the middle of nature/wildlife: hikes are varied and you can watch/hear many birds and see beautiful sunsets. The 40 minute ride by mototaxi to the hostel is great, a little adventure included. I will definitely come back, but then stay longer!

“Beautiful retreat in nature”
Beautiful views, lovely staff, lots of places to relax and enjoy nature. Good starting point for walks such as el jaguar. Meals were homemade and high quality, and it was nice to eat at the table with everyone else. Great place for nature lovers and those who enjoy peace and quiet.

“Most beautiful sunset and amazing personnel”
Helena and the other staff were so nice, it was a real pleasure! Bathroom, dorm and other services on a high standard! The view from the porch was one of the most amazing of my life. The wildlife in the area is really exciting, although you have to walk a little to enter more remote areas.

“Amazing views and super relaxing simple place”
Super beautiful view and very relaxing place. Staff is very nice and food very good. It takes however around 45min in motobike or van to reach the place. You can hike to the Jaguar waterfall or do a bird watching tour.

“A true oasis of peace”
This place exceeded my expectations by far. It is a place to truly find peace and disconnect from the rest of the world. The staff is super friendly and helps you with anything you need. We ended up staying for a week here! Moreover for an additional reasonable charge they will prepare you breakfast lunch and dinner. The food is outstandingly good and super healthy. I’d definitely recommend staying here!

“This place is an absolute gem”
This was our best accommodation in all of Colombia. The view and the calm of the place are just stunning. Stay at least two days to benefit to the fullest. The team there made it a really special experience. They were super inclusive and welcoming. Don't miss the bird watching, the guide is a real local coffee farmer who grew up with the birds. We also enjoyed the great and affordable food (local but veggi friendly), the fresh and drinkable mountain water, and the great coffee breaks with amazing sweets. This place really made our travel special!

“Thanks”
It's a really peaceful place and feels like this place will be really popular in a year or so. Great to see birds but best between 6-8am. Well worth trying to come in the morning at this time of year July/Aug as it sometimes rains in the afternoon. Wish I'd stay 2 nights rather than one. Just to note you can do the cerro Kennedy hike and people usually stay the night further near the peak at two hostels there. It's about 4hrs ish to those hostels. You could do it in a day but you'd need to get up early. I didn't have time.
