Located in Barichara, 41 km from Chicamocha National Park, La Pacha Hostel provides accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a shared lounge. Providing a restaurant, the property also has a terrace and a bar. Guests can have a drink at the snack bar.

We spend more than a week in La Pacha and this place is amazing. It’s surrounded by nature but still close to all the activities you can do in the area and well deserved by bus (you can easily go in Barichara or San Gil for example). The natural swimming pool, the movies bus, the hammocks next to the fire place, the best vegetarian food… everything you need to have a chill day in a beautiful place. Must of all, Justin and Andrea are incredibly welcoming, you will feel like home !

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    This was one of my best Hostel experiences in 6 weeks of traveling in Colombia. Jane and Felipe go above and beyond to ensure that you enjoy your stay. I felt very welcome from the beginning. Their dogs are super sweet, too. Food is delicious. 100% recommend this place! :)

    This is the perfect spot for a trip to San Gil. So central, right beside a great restaurant - Grigos. The staff are super helpful with tours. The hostel itself is spotless, a cosy feel to it and very spacious and safe. We had a very good fan in our room. Best hostel on our South American trip so far!

    The owners are great hosts and will support with all questions. They will also support you to book your adventures with local companies, much cheaper than with tripadvisor and co. Great location, city center and bus terminal (20 Min.) in walking distance. Fair price. Clean hostel, great breakfast

    Johanna and team are super welcoming, and helped organise all our activities which went really well, with professional service and felt super safe. The hostel is really well located, very secure and has a nice chilled vibe. Special thanks to Esperenza for offering us coffee every morning. A lovely place, don't hesitate in booking it

    Amazing staff, Viviana, Wiltor and Diego were all really nice and helpful with organising activities and just in general. The activities organised through the hostel were with companies that had good safety standards so worth the money. The hostel is in a great location, is clean and great value for money. The amenities are really good and they organise events in the evenings which is great to get to know people, one of our favourite hostels in Columbia.

    Staff were very kind, and the resident dog was cute and friendly! The double room was comfortable and clean. It's an easy walk to El Gallineral park and a big shopping mall with groceries and food court. Since the hostel is across the street from the police station, the neighbourhood felt safe. Snacks and water are reasonably priced, and it was nice to have a TV in the room.
