A magical setting in the cloudforest of Colombia's Sierra Nevada mountain range is the icing on the cake at Casa Oropéndola, a stunning private lodge which enjoys an isolated location, where nothing but nature can be seen for miles. Ideal for a family escape or couple's getaway, this beautifully rustic lodge provides plenty of additional luxuries to ensure that everything is taken care of, and your private chef, host and housekeeper will look after your every need so you are free to simply enjoy those enviable views over the jungle, coffee fields and Caribbean Sea beyond.
Diverse flora and fauna attracts nature enthusiasts and birders while the surrounding rugged terrain gives plenty to satisfy adventurers, teenagers and keen walkers. Nearby indigenous communities throw a dash of culture into the mix and this tranquil spot is simply perfect for those in search of meditation and relaxation. A range of activities are included in your stay, taking you to secluded waterfalls where you may find a mouthwatering picnic or refreshing swimming spot, introducing you to the delights of the local cuisine with a cookery class and educating you about the resident wildlife and ecozystems as you explore on foot. Additional activities can also be arranged to focus more on photography, local culture or jungle adventures such as rappelling and canyoning.
Casa Oropéndola comfortably accommodates eight guests, with four additional pull out beds available should more space be required. Hammocks feature in every room to invite guests to relax after days out in the cloudforest and a comfortable terrace makes the most of the lodge's privileged perch up in the mountains for some memorable outdoor dinners and evenings under the stars. A large, open-plan sitting area forms the heart of the home with a cozy fireplace and floor-to-ceiling windows allowing light to flood in and creating a welcoming space.
