La Finca La Palmita Hotel

About La Finca La Palmita

La Palmita has the last four years it has been home to countless international travelers who were searching to explore conscious living. Today, as a guest house, we offer healthy vegan meals, beginning to intermediate yoga classes, and the opportunity to either engage in mind opening conscious conversation or spend time in private. In this peaceful environment a bit further from the bustle of town, our guests are able to be still, to connect with nature, and to decompress after long bus rides and busy days of exploration. The benefit of having only four private rooms is that this home does not get too crowded. This is not a party environment; alcohol and drugs are not permitted. This ensures a tranquil environment of relaxation and connection with ones self. The open layout of the buildings allows for a constant flow of fresh air which keeps us cool in the hottest weather. The bedrooms are spacious and the beds comfortable. A path wanders down through the large garden, reaching its end at a sandy beach of the river Fonce. The large communal area is a Maloka (indigenous ceremony/family house) that has been refitted with hammocks, a swing, and comfortable seating areas perfect for playing games, reading or for long conversations. La Palmita is an open air home; open to the breeze, to fragrant flowers, to nature all around. You can sit almost anywhere in the house and have a view of the condors flying over the mountains surrounding San Gil; the clear blue sky and spectacular cloud clusters. A path descends through the garden leading to a sandy patch of beach on the side of the Rio Fonce, where you can sunbathe and watch rafts pass by.
La Palmita is a great space for people to relax a bit outside of town; to decompress after travel through cities, long bus rides, or adventure activities in the areas surrounding San Gil. There is a large, fully equipped kitchen, and a spacious communal area complete with hammocks and a swing. There is plenty of space for introspection, yoga and meditation. The whole house is available for rent, or you can let a private room.
All of the profits from this guest house go to benefit a young community dedicated to bettering this world-by living consciously and bettering ourselves as individuals,by fostering self sustainability in communion with the earth, and by participating in charitable works with children, with the elderly, with indigenous communities in the Amazon, and with our neighbors who may be in need.
