Quinta de San Pedro Alejandrino is 32 km from the lodge, while Santa Marta Gold Museum is 35 km away. The nearest airport is Simón Bolívar International, 44 km from Lodge Cacao, and the property offers a paid airport shuttle service.

The property is beautiful! The rooms are separate buildings amongst the trees so it felt very private. The views of the surrounding mountains and greenery are stunning. Everything was clean. The pool and common area are great as well! We were particularly grateful for the help and friendliness of the staff - they were amazing! The food offered by the lodge (breakfast and dinner) is great but there are also other restaurants nearby to switch things up. It is close to the Tayrona entrances, which was great! We loved our stay and would definitely recommend.

It's simply a piece of paradise in the jungle. Definitely the most special stay I had in Colombia. The owner Gabriel speaks very good English and provides with all information and recommends great places around. The lady who works there (Carmen) is fantastic. She prepares simple but delicious breakfast and takes care of the facility (always with a great smile). The bungalows are amazing, big and simple to relax and sleep well. Mosquito nets everywhere. The big bungalows have and open space above the room to practice yoga. Great restaurant and bar a few minutes on foot. El Zaino entrance for Tyrona Parque Nacional is 2,5 km walking distance. Thank you so much for such an amazing stay!!!!

It really felt like heaven once up there. The adventure of getting at the location makes it even more appealing for people who are enjoying an offroad motorbike ride and a bit of a hike. The hosts Marcelo and Juan Pablo are really great people too and will do the best to make you feel comfortable. We will deffo return next year!

Playa Los Angeles is less than 1 km from the lodge, while Los Naranjos Beach is a 18-minute walk away. The nearest airport is Simón Bolívar International, 50 km from La Casita del Bosque, and the property offers a paid airport shuttle service.

Wonderful place to enjoy the beautiful peace and nature of the region. The property is very remote so ideal to fully relax. Birds, butterflies and wonderful plants full of flowers enchant your stay. The views are breathtaking. The very kind owners help you to arrive to the place by jeep if needed. You need to climb some stairs to get to the breakfast area and the place itself. Not an issue for me but people with reduced mobility should be aware. Delicious breakfast.

Looking for a lodge?

Ideal for nature-lovers looking for a self-sufficient getaway, lodges are fully furnished and self-catered. Usually made of wood and surrounded by forests or mountains, lodges can be part of a group or a single unit. More remote than holiday homes, lodges are popular for safari trips.

    The lodge is magical. It has amazing views, feels like a luxury resort. There are local restaurants to walk to or the restaurant at the lodge was really good. Their Pina coladas were delicious and the pool was a nice treat after a long day of hiking. The staff at the lodge are exceptional. Very helpful and professional.

    There isn’t much to like about this place apart from the birds in the trees. It is a very basic lodge with no amenities and unfriendly, unhelpful staff.

    We loved our stay at Tayrona Angel Lodge! The room was spacious and so nice to have air con. The pool was great too. Staff were great, they allowed us to change our dates which was helpful. They also do a great breakfast. The location couldn’t be better either 5 minute walk to the entrance of the park. They also store your bags here when you go to the park.

    An amazing atmosphere in the middle of jungle and close enough to everything else. Never seen such a clean lodge.The staff, the people and the pets are lovely and it‘s easy to connect with. You definately feel the owner run this place with love. Also the food is very good and they offer a lot of vegan options. Already recommended it to other travelers. Would def come back.

    The hotel is beautifully located across Tayrona national park. The Nice eco lodges are clean, modern and are really comfortable (incl. Airconditioning!). We enjoyed our time at the swimming pool, playing a game of pool, but most of the time simply enjoying a cold beer with the splendid views from the restaurant. The food was excellent and the staff friendly. Would definitely book again!

    A true ecolodge. Only accessible by foot and therefore in the middle of nothing else than beauty. So different than all the other 100 ‘ecolodges’ that are close to the road or at the super busy hiking routes in the park. Waking up with the sound of monkeys and an incredible view from your bed. Beautiful hikes to make in the surrounding or take a rest in the many hang mock’s to choose. The hosts are wonderful and cook you a dinner, make you a coffee, show you around in the jungle or play a tune at the marimba.
