CASA OROPÉNDOLA, SIERRA NEVADA DE SANTA MARTA

THE NATURE AND YOURSELF

Visit Casa Oropéndola and you’ll find it’s time to disconnect with your busy life, work and stress…and re-connect with clouds, mountains, nature and yourself.

Isn’t that what holidays are for? High in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta you’ll find that there’s no internet connection and your mobile phone connection is so weak you might as well forget it. And concentrate on the real reason you decided to come to Casa Oropéndola on your luxury, tailor-made holiday to Colombia.

The ethereal natural atmosphere of a cloud forest cloaking a hillside over 1500 metres above sea level. The biodiversity of the unspoiled natural habitat. The wildlife of the rainforest above and the fragrance of the coffee plantation below. The incredible sunsets and sunrises. The opportunity to do nothing but laze in a hammock and listen to the birds whenever the mood takes you. And to indulge in three gourmet meals a day…every day.
