Casa Galavanta

Sierra Nevada, Colombia

Serenity in the Sierra Nevada

Casa Galavanta is a private property located in the heart of Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, a lush mountain range that climbs to an altitude of 5,776m and is just 42km from the Caribbean coast, making it the highest coastal mountain range in the world. The cloud forests here harbour an astonishing biodiversity of flora and fauna.

The lodge sits at 1,500m above sea level, between dense rainforest and coffee fields, with a perfect view of the ocean.  Built entirely of wood and glass it blends seamlessly into the natural environment and offers minimalist but stylish accommodation with top eco-credentials. The bedrooms offer oversized beds, quality linens and hammocks, and common areas include a living room with fireplace, large deck with fire pit, open-concept kitchen, dining...

Thank you for putting together the ancestral adventure of a lifetime. I cannot speak highly enough of the trip. The transfers went smoothly, the accommodation was excellent, the drivers were amazing as they manoeuvred through the traffic and every tour guide had a great deal of knowledge and information. Nothing was too much trouble for them. The contrast of poverty and riches of the country was striking, from the beggars in the street and struggles of the poor to the spectacular, impressive sights of the forts and monuments. There were so many highlights. A moment in time that will never happen again.

Exellent and wonderful, reaching way above expectations.
