Great place to discover salento and the cócora
La Cabaña is located on the road from Salento to the Cócora valley at no more than 10 min from twin if you have a car or a cheap cab/keep ride if you don’t have your own car. The property has two buildings: The mountain, or main one, includes parking spots, a restaurant and a small cattle farm operation. The riverside cottage is across the road and cannot be reached by car (it is a 2 min walk with your luggage). The rooms are simple but everything you need is there. Comfortable bed, bathroom with soap, shampoo and conditioner and even a very good value minibar (including a full bottle of wine!) The hosts will gladly help you with everything you need and even provide boots for your treks when it gets too muddy. They can also organise coffee tours or transportation. Breakfast was simple but had good options and they make small changes day on day. The cabaña runs a restaurant so you can always have something to eat at reasonable prices.
One of the minuses is that the lack of curtains makes the rooms a little too exposed (it is a shame to have to close the blinds when you need to change and miss the view). Also, I found it odd they have a corkage fee in case you bring your our wine to your room. I suppose this is to deter too much binge drinking so I want to think it is not enforced too strictly. Wifi was available but patchy with not much speed.
