Spectacular and different plan - It is a spectacular plan, the guide Diego makes everything make sense, he makes the visit very enjoyable, he explains each of the ecosystems with meaning, it is appropriate if you like to walk, enjoy nature, and if you do not have claustrophobia

A highly recommended place to disconnect! - A great place to disconnect and rest. The hostess and her family are very friendly and willing to help with whatever is needed. We stayed in a very nice and comfortable glamping site, with great views from the room or the balcony and has the necessary amenities. The weather is super pleasant. The walk to the cave is a different activity that allows you to not only get to know the vegetation but also a little of the history of the area. Near Villa de Leyva, almost the entire road is paved, only a short section is a rural road. Highly recommended to stay if you are looking to disconnect!!!
