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 travelers know there's 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 little more.

    I highly recommend this hostel! The staff are so friendly and helpful, they serve a cheap breakfast each morning and you can arrange excursions from reception. It’s a short walk from the main square and transport. It’s also a great place to meet other travellers too with a great community vibe, this isn’t a party hostel at all. I recommend bringing earplugs, the doors are super heavy and you can hear them slam.

    Really beautiful hostel located on the outskirts on Salento. Has beautiful views overlooking the mountains. There’s also so many areas to sit and relax around the hostel as well as a huge garden at the back. The breakfast is fairly cheap and good value for money and they have a drinking water tap that’s free to use. The beds and dorms were comfy and spacious and the bathrooms were always clean. I also found it to be quite social as a solo traveller.

    This is best hostel I’ve stayed in for the money so far. The hosts were exceptional. Answered any questions we had, gave us nice bracelets on arrival, and replaced my charging cable that I lost (which was my fault not there’s). The beds have nice curtains and are comfortable. The location is great, just off of the square. And everyone was super friendly. Great backpackers hostel.
