Hostal La Finca is the ultimate ecolodge for backpackers and travellers alike. The hostel is located in the foothills of the Colombian Andes above the town of San Jeronimo, and is just a convenient two hours away from the city centre of Medellin.

The hostel itself boasts breathtaking views of Colombian nature at its best. You can’t help but feel relaxed in these beautiful surroundings, an ideal break from a working week or a busy few days partying in the city. It is also the comfortable, clean facilities and family atmosphere in the Finca, that will make you feel right at home.

If you can tear yourself away, there is plenty to do nearby, including many hikes, strolling down to the waterfall at the end of the garden, visiting nearby colonial towns such as Santa Fe de Antioquia, as well as coffee tours, biking, horseback riding and more. Onsite, you can relax in a hammock, practice some yoga, treat yourself to a massage and take plenty of time to enjoy the crystal clear swimming pool.

The Finca has five comfortable bedrooms, including private rooms and dorms, making it a hillside destination to suit everyone. It also has a large, fully equipped kitchen for you to prepare and cook your own meals. In addition, whilst offering a traditional finca experience, it also has all the modern amenities, including wifi, hot showers, drinking water and parking.

So if you want to make the short trip from Medellin and trade in the crowds for the tranquil countryside, this is the perfect mountain getaway to come, sit back, relax and enjoy the view.
