On the 1,5 hectares of land you find an incredible amount of tropical fruits like lots of banana and platano, avocado, mango, pineapple, papaya, yuca, lemon, guayabaya and much more. You will also experience the wildlife, like lots of hemmingbirds, toucans, butterflies, squirrels, iguanas, Iizards, many colorful birds and some crazy jungle insects and sometimes even armadillos or monkeys!
In the area there is a lot to do. There is a beautiful white beach on the river, 5 minutes walking from the land. The carribean coast *where you can surf is a 15 minutes drive on a mototaxi (the famous Costeno beach is really close by!) Other things you can do: hike in 40 min to a beautiful waterfall, go to Tyrona park (20 minutes drive), go to the famous hostel El Rio where you can do river tubing (15 minutes drive) and the start of the Lost City track is also near by.
How to go?
Santa Marta is a 1 hour drive and there are busses going all day from and to Santa Marta (Mercado) along the coast and back and stops in our town Guachaca. From there it's a 20 minutes walk up the river (left side of the river, uphill) or you can take a motortaxi, ask for Yay or Finca Kelly ( 5 minutes drive)
