Please keep in mind that Uber, DIDI, or regular taxis do not go all the way to the hotel unless they are 4x4 vehicles.


By car or motorcycle ?

The access to the hotel is via an unpaved road with steep uphill and downhill sections (off-road terrain), so we recommend arriving in a high-clearance vehicle (such as an SUV or 4x4) or on a motorcycle suitable for off-road conditions. Low cars and small motorcycles may have difficulty reaching the hotel. Experience driving on this type of road is important.

You also have the option to park your vehicle near the hotel, next to the La Española Police Substation. From there, you can either walk to the hotel (around 40 minutes) or take a private Willys jeep (40,000 COP per trip). Please contact reception for directions and assistance.
