El Nido del Cóndor Ecolodge

Was beautiful experience

This is an incredibly beautiful property, which is not easily accessible. That is part of its charm. Beautiful flowers everywhere. Lots of hummingbirds. Excellent food cooked by the staff chefs from their own orchards and gardens. Everything was elegant and well thought out. There was a small stove for heating the tent (which we actually didn’t need to use) there was a French press and a kettle, the bathroom is in its own outside area overlooking the countryside, with hot water, which is surprising. Every detail to make a pleasant stay was taken into account. It was an effort to get there, but we knew that in advance. They sent us videos with step-by-step driving instructions. The unfortunate part is we weren’t sure how to slow the videos down. They would’ve been very useful if we could. But they did meet us along the road showed us the rest of the way to get there. Since the cable up to the mountain was down, I opted to walk instead of riding a horse. It was a long steep walk. If you’re an excellent shape, it’s not a problem. But I would opt for the horse. We returned on horseback. The horses know the way and very stable. You’re basically just cargo for them. This part of our trip was a highlight in our three week stay in Colombia. I highly recommend it.
