Our inspiration
The construction of our hostel is a work designed to merge the best of two worlds, uniting traditional elements of Quindío and the Caribbean Coast. We have chosen materials that speak of our roots, such as guadua and guaduilla, which connect us with the mountains of the Coffee Belt, and palm and lata, which are symbols of the coast. This blend of materials not only reflects our identity, but also honors our ancestors and the land that welcomes us. In addition, this construction has been possible thanks to the joint work with the workers of the area, who, with their knowledge and effort, have been the driving force and backbone of this project. Without their dedication, this dream would not have become a reality, and every corner of the hostel would bear their stamp and their history. Thus, we have managed not only to build a space, but also to unite two cultures and a community that has been essential every step of the way.

At Rincón del Mangle, we deeply believe in responsible tourism. Our hostel is a boutique hotel located on the beautiful beaches of Rincón del Mar, San Onofre, Colombia. We want our guests to live a unique and immersive experience, enjoying not only the natural beauty, but also the cultural exchange and the opportunity to learn about the ecosystems of the region: the sea, the mangrove and the tropical dry forest.

At the hostel we offer you the option of refilling your water bottle for a price of 2000 per liter, to contribute to the care of the environment. We appreciate your understanding and support in making a conscious and respectful use of these resources.
