FAQs
Questions? We've got the answers—but in the end, it's up to you to be a Viking and GO 💪
No. Despite the name it is in Guatapé, on a finca in the vereda El Roble, sector El Cristalino, about 1.7 km from the Guatapé town centre and roughly 48 km from Medellín. Travellers booking it as a Medellín city stay are booking the wrong place.
A vegan farm that takes guests — part hostel, part working finca, part learning space. It holds 4.8 stars from about 131 reviews, the highest-rated stay in this part of Guatapé, and guests consistently describe a stay with a purpose behind it.
Spanish lessons, English, vegan cooking and permaculture. Guests describe sitting down to Spanish grammar and then to a cooking class in the same stay, which is why the property is categorised as much as a place of learning as lodging.
Vegan, cooked largely from the organic vegetable garden on the property, and guests describe it as filling, never sparse. Cooking is part of the stay, not a service delivered to you.
A waterfall hike on the property itself, morning yoga, farm animals, and long stretches of time with other guests. La Piedra is 4.2 km away, so days split easily between the farm and the standard Guatapé sights.
Travellers who want the stay to be the experience — comfortable with communal living, simple facilities and a vegan kitchen. Several reviewers came for a night or two and extended, and several describe it as off the usual route through Guatapé.
Yes, but the kitchen is vegan and that is the premise of the farm, so expect no meat or dairy on the property. Guests who do not eat this way at home describe the food positively, never as a compromise.
By taxi or tuk-tuk from Guatapé, about 1.7 km. Confirm the route before you set out: the address is a finca in a vereda with no street number, and at least one guest needed help finding it.
Direct, through ecohostelmedellin.com or the phone number on the listing. No fixed reception hours are published, and the host runs the property personally, so arrange your arrival time in advance.
