Kasaguadua - RESERVA NATURAL

The Kasaguadua Lodge is located in the middle of a natural reserve, 2 km from Salento followed by a 20 Min hike into the Jungle. Carlos provided us with detailed information about the path, what to bring and what to take care of in regards to ecotourism. The place is very unique, peaceful and we felt like in paradise. Everything was built by hand and you can feel the love and passion in every room. Carlos was an amazing host and made us feel like being a part of this community. We woke up with birds singing in the morning, had a delicious breakfast and explored the reserva.

Nothing, it was amazing. Just be aware to follow the instructions (pack light, grab rainboots and a stick)

William, one of the founders, is an incredible person: very kind, welcoming, and a real pleasure to meet. The breakfast was also delicious. Kasaguadua gave us a truly unique experience in the nature of Colombia: sleeping surrounded by the sounds of the forest and being reminded that we are only guests there. The nature excursion organized by Kasaguadua was fun and interesting, and it was led by Savi, a young, well-prepared local guide who was also a pleasure to meet. Getting to Kasaguadua at night was not easy and can become a bit tricky and challenging, especially if it is raining. The 20–30 minute path can get very muddy in some sections, so it may not be suitable for everyone. That said, I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to experience Salento in a different and more authentic way. At the entrance to the path, you can easily find passing Jeep Willys, and Uber can also reach that point without problems.

Even if its a wild hut the bed area could be improved a bit (its too small for two person) and some details of the hut.

- William is an amazing host, making our time in Kasaguadua magical, very good communication and organization as well - absolute nature experience, but with luxus of electricity, fully equipped kitchen, hot shower etc. - the additional tour we took with him is also very great to learn about the place, the nature etc. - don't miss on the adventure walk to the waterfall/kanyonig - very good breakfast shared with the host - as there is only place for 6 people to sleep, it feels very private (we even had the luck to be the only ones down in this magical place) - free luggage storage in town available (use it to not have to carry all your stuff down and up)

As other recommendations already note: don't underestimate the hike down and up to the camp. It takes 20 to 30 minutes on small paths in the middle of the jungle (but this is part of the experience) - the location on booking/google is the entry to the 20-30 minute walk.

De rust van de jungle, naast onze ‘kamer’ een eigen plek om te kunnen koken en te ontspannen en het fijne contact met Wily.

Omdat je in de jungle bent, kan het soms wat vochtig zijn. Ook de weg ernaartoe was een hele beleving, maar we hebben er (bijna) elke keer van genoten!

In my opinion, Kasaguadua is a perfect example of getting off the beaten track. The way to Kasaguadua is quite challenging, but after hikking, you can be closer to the nature, awaken by beautiful birds singing in the morning and to be overwhelmed by beauty of the world. This place is also great because of Willy, who is so humble and open-minded to others m. It is perfect place to relax, to run away from present world.

La infraestructura armoniza con la reserva. Te hace parte del entorno y fomenta el cuidado de la madre naturaleza

Tolle Natur , Willi ist ein herzlicher Gastgeber.

A very good experience for those who want to feel the jungle .i was most of the time by myself and enjoyed nature.

The entrance and exit are through a narrow, steep path. There is no easy way out, so it’s not suitable for people who are not in excellent physical condition. You need to ask for the water heater to be turned on in order to shower..
