Finca La Jorara

They say true freedom comes in the wild spaces, and the Sierra Nevada is no exception.

Nestled right in the heart of this Colombian wonderland is where adventure meets affordability.  It’s where you can get a Champagne experience on a beer budget. It’s Finca La Jarora, and it’s worth every minute in the air to get there.

Imagine full-board luxury, with authentic cuisine included with your accommodations.  And imagine being surrounded by birds, monkeys, and iguanas galore.  It’s enough to think you’ve landed on the set of Snow White, with wildlife abounding, and adventure around every tree line.  With only 14 rooms, you get the ultimate boutique ambiance, and all the attention you could ask for.

Instead of churning guests in and out, La Jorara offers you the true cultural advantage.  Dive deep into the local gastronomy.  Explore first-hand the world’s second most bio-diverse country.  Go bird watching.  Horseback riding.  Or take a walk through the surrounding indigenous communities.  It’s here that you will find everything except the usual tourist traps.  It’s where you can live and breathe the Colombian life and encounter things most never will.

Perhaps the best part is the cost-effectiveness where it concerns this little stretch of Colombia.  You can check this item off your bucket list without breaking the bank.  And when it includes food and excursions, your money goes as far as your airline miles.

In fact, they are currently offering a Honeymoon Package for 4 days, 3 nights.  Starting at a mere $799 for two people, this ALMOST too good to be true deal includes:

• Reception and private transportation from Santa Marta to La Joara.
• All meals
• Tour on the Don Diego River with beach exploration, guide, tube or kayak and return boat
• Romantic dinner on the beach followed by a campfire
• Ecological walk around with a dip in the natural pools
• Tropical lunch and exclusive beach access
• Bottle of wine

Note: Massages and beach yoga available at additional cost

Simply put, it’s the adventure that will leave you speechless, you’re friends envious, and a mark on your soul that will never be forgotten.
