Taironaka Eco Hotel

What an amazing experience!

A small bungalow in the middle of the jungle, more than friendly people, lots of wild animals to see, much to explore! Also bring respect for the area this lodge is located on soil that was once an ancient city of the Tayrona and is still inhabited by one of the descendant tribes the Kogi.

We took all offered tours:
- a historic tour about the Kogi tribe (guided by Francisco, who is a Kogi)
- a cocoa tour explaining the process of making cocoa, we even made our own hot chocolate out of cocoa beans: A MUST DO!!!
- Tubing down the river - simply magical

The food is very delicious too and good portions!!!

We even saw tucans, red howler monkeys, iguanas, kolibris and some kind of aras and various kind of other birds, pelicans, butterflies in all colours and sizes...


- Better speak some Spanish (like in all corners of colombia) - we understand the language but don't actually speak it. We took two tours in Spanish but weren't able to ask questions, but it's possible to understand - everyone is soooo kind. We were staying here in February - off season, there would be English tours.
Sergio, who organized the tours and everything, speaks English but since he is the good soul of the house he is very busy :)

- don't expect a luxury jungle bungalow! The rooms are basic with animals of all sizes in- and outside the room which still adds to the experience.

- don't expect electricity or internet! You are here for relaxing and detoxing your body and soul. There's WiFi in the restaurant area and electricity at night in your room.

Lo rodeado verde que es, la atención del personal y los planes por hacer.

Segunda vez que vengo.
La Sra ha montado un lugar con una energia muy bonita.
Hace un tour dentro del terreno donde te cuenta la.historia y lo que han encontrado alli.
Compartes con los indigenas, hablas con ellos,
La playita que tiene en el rio es muy tranquila... y si sale buena noche hacen hoguera junto al rio.

La experiencia completa fue excepcional, la atención desde antes de llegar y la disposición de todos en todos los momentos. Estar en Tayronaka es tener una conexión completa con la naturaleza, un espacio familiar muy agradable

I liked the scenery and landscape around the hotel, the food was exceptional, and the staff were kind

The owner was such a lovely lady. She was very kind. Also the location is amazing, you arrive by boat in the middle of nowhere. It has a small beach with some chairs to relax.

The location on the river and actually in a small archaeological site were fantastic. Food was very good, staff were friendly and helpful. the bed was very comfortable.

The people are really special and it was incredible to meet everyone.
Their ecological approach, how they integrate indigenous people in the hotel with so much respect
It was like being part of a big family
It’s really beautiful, the sound of the animals is like nothing you’ll ever hear
There’s surely a special energy here

Brilliant location, great staff, everybody worked hard to make our stay great - arranged transport there from one hotel and on to our next.. Kitchen worked out our restricted diet options very well. Being by the river was a delight and in grounds we saw toucans and acawari.

The location, the river view, beautifully maintained gardens. The hammocks. Fine local food and drink during our stay. Good bed! The flowers on the bed....

The place was absolutelly great inside the nature. The river was beautiful and fresh.

The location and the included boattrip from Don Diego.

The hotel is in the middle of the forest, you need to take a little boat up the river to get there and that was lovely. There is a local family living on site and I heard they can give you tours and tell you the story but we didn't do it.
Food was really nice!
