Wi-Fi worked best in the common area and doesn’t always extend to our double room. we were fortunate enough to catch Daniel who gave us a great rundown of Minca and also had the company of sweet little Tigreta 🐱 be prepared to walk up a steep but verdant driveway for around 7-10mins to reach Casa Quinta, we did it with our 13-15kg backpacks, though it was entirely worth it!

I basically paid £9 or 45,000 pesos for a private ensuite Gonzalo looked after me and we had conversations through Google translate. He was so accommodating. Doing laundry, being attentive with delicious food. I would most certainly come back again. Remember to being cash - as most places in Tayrona take cash only. La Fonda were very accommodating and took care and so did Tayrona entrance I'd recommend this place to anyone, it is the essence on tranquil
