Hostal Rio Arabia - Valle De Cocora HOTELis located in the beautidul Cocora Valley in Salento where you can enjoy valley walks by the Andean Mountains and immerse in Quindian culture. Free WiFi access is available.

I felt really welcomed by the owners and staff. It's a great place for those who enjoy the nature and tranquility. We booked one of the smaller rooms, but it was beautiful, clean and well-maintained. We were greeted with a cup of delicious coffee and bowl of fresh fruits, the owner showed us their spacious garden, bunnies and birds, it's a good place to relax and connect with nature. There's a small restaurant just steps away and it's a perfect spot if you want to get away from the crowded town of Salento.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
