La Manigua Lodge

Amazing hotel in the middle of beauriful naturel. Recommended 10/10. Very good comunication with the hotel staff. The hotel is located about 20 minutes by boat from the town la Macarena. The hotel also offers tours to visit cano cristales and other tours

La Manigua lodge si an excellent place for enjoy the beauty Caño Cristales, its location in the jungle, makes it wonderful, excellent food and attention. Canopy is a room in the heights, where you can see an excellent sunrise and sunset. Enjoy it!

The wildlife is amazing, lots of birds and animals! You dont have to go far to see reptiles mamals amphibians and others. The food was very good and lots of attention to detail. It was my second time and Im glad to see that the standards are still high!

Fully recommended. Suggest to go any time of the year, and visit City Stone “ciudad de piedra” in addition to Caño Cristales. La Manigua promotes Sustainable tourism with local community participation. We enjoyed it a lot, thanks to La Manigua for also taking care of our flights booking, local transport exclusive just for us, personalized guide. Recomendado 100% espectacular para reconectar con la naturaleza y aportar al turismo local sostenible

The Manigua lodge was the place from where our trips started in La Macarena. The lodge is ideally located, just beside the river. The cabanas are connected with walkways, which brings you a tropical forest mood. You hear the monkeys, you see - when it's dark - the tarantula, birds are flying overhead. The accomodation is clean, with an outdoor toilet and shower. And you can have some "friends" looking at you when you shower - part of the experience. The food was just amazing. Not just in the restaurant, but also the packs you got when you went for a day hike / day trip. How they do it, I don't know, but it was so tastfull, very large portions. The staff was very friendly, and helpfull. Higly recommended

La Manigua lodge is absolutely amazing. From the moment we were picked up by Alberto in the tuk-tuk, to the scented cool cloth and welcome drink upon arrival, onward to the thoughtful plantain-wrapped picnic meals and snacks for our hike through Caño Crystales, this place is top notch. The lodge is a unique style of accommodation that allows you to stay inside the Amazon jungle. There are no cars, and the only motor sounds interrupting the chorus of frogs and birds and monkeys are from the longboats that bring you and take you via the river. If you are looking for parties, bar-hopping, or sterile insect- and animal-free experiences, this is not the place for you. But if you are looking for a clean and safe place to rest between hikes, an outdoor shower under the jungle canopy where squirrel monkeys chitter at you, in a location where the monkeys cavort above you and the local tarantulas feed beneath the raised wooden walkways, this place is incredible. Our rooms were impeccably clean every time we returned from our guided outings. Valentina was thoughtful and so accommodating and even arranged for medication and rehydrating drinks to be brought to me when I came down with traveler's diarrhea. (Note: the ice cream sold from a portable cooler at the dock to the park is absolutely delicious, but you may want to think twice before buying.) The food, the portable lunches and the sit-down breakfasts and dinners, are delicious and fresh. I would absolutely come back to stay, and even without the excuse of hiking through Caño Crystales. I highly recommend the unbelievable peak travel experience of the lodge's sunset cruise on the river accompanied by live music by one of the local guides who sang and played his original songs about the area. We even saw Amazon pink dolphins leaping and playing! After years of travel and numerous accommodations all around the world, La Manigua Lodge is one I'll always remember.
