Located in the stunning Suesca rocks, the hostel is the first stage of a more ambitious project with development of rural housing, cultural facilities, a wildlife park and sports fields for the municipality.

Located in a so rich natural area, the complex seeks a conversation with the landscape through mimick and be very respectful of the heritage and tradition. It consists of 30 small huts built of bamboo (Guadua), a Colombian vernacular material and architecture technic contrasted with contemporary materials like steel and glass material. Because the rocks are the major players in place, cabins are always placed to the best landscape visuals.
