Casa Salento, hotel in Salento

Casa Salento is situated in Salento, 36 km from César Gaviria Trujillo Viaduct and 37 km from Viaduct between Pereira and Dosquebradas.

Very nice hotel, located 5 min walk to the main square and all the restaurants. The room was clean, very spacious, and quiet. The stuff is very helpful and always ready to answer all my questions. Breackfast is at la cart, with lots of options, and it is very good. I end up extending my day by a couple of nights in a different smaller room

Nature Hostel Salento, hotel in Salento

Set in Salento, 35 km from Pereira's Botanical Garden, Nature Hostel Salento features views of the mountain.

We were for two nights in the nature hostel and we felt instantly very welcome. The team was very lovely and always very helpful, giving good informations about tours or what ever we asked for. Always you can keep in touch with them via WhatsApp for questions and reservation. The hostel is small and simple, but gives you all you need. We can highly recommend this small family business and want to say thank you very much for the nice stay.

    The best hostel of my entire trip in Colombia. Great and helpful staff, great breakfast, very nice private room and most importantly the possibility to book trips and adventures in the area, but also the free activities such as food tours and pub crawls organised by the hotel itself, which are a great occasion to meet people. You can also join a whatsapp group to get all the practicals on these activities in real time, even if you spend the day on adventures outside the hostel. The perfect hostel for solo travelers.

    This is best hostel I’ve stayed in for the money so far. The hosts were exceptional. Answered any questions we had, gave us nice bracelets on arrival, and replaced my charging cable that I lost (which was my fault not there’s). The beds have nice curtains and are comfortable. The location is great, just off of the square. And everyone was super friendly. Great backpackers hostel.
