When going to Tatacoa, you have to stay in the desert! This is a fairly new place, simple, but it got all you need. It’s beautiful to stay in nature, wake up with the sound of birds and insects waking up. And it’s a well set up, spacious eco...

Perfect ecological gem in the desert! Super friendly host, pool and cool beer in the desert, beautiful cabins with openair shower - and all this eco- and budget- friendly. Ask your tuktuk-driver that takes you to the hostel to stop at the desierto...

Dario, the host, went above and beyond for us and was available for any questions and advice for anything you could want. It is a bioreserva, so you should expect a dry toilet, a wonderful pool (inevitably with bugs), and limited appliances as the...

Company info

At Bosque Seco, we love welcoming travelers who value nature, tranquility, and authentic experiences. What inspires us most is sharing the restoration process of the tropical dry forest with you and witnessing how this resilient ecosystem begins to flourish again. Here, you don't just come to rest — you come to reconnect with yourself, with the earth, and with the starry skies of the Tatacoa. We look forward to welcoming you!

Property info

Bosque Seco is much more than just a place to stay — it’s a natural refuge in the heart of the Tatacoa Desert, one of Colombia’s most stunning and enigmatic landscapes. Located in a tropical dry forest ecosystem, our project combines the unique experience of sleeping surrounded by nature with an ecological restoration initiative aimed at recovering the biodiversity of a territory that was used for decades for cattle ranching and intensive agriculture. Here, you’ll enjoy a one-of-a-kind immersion in the tropical dry forest ecosystem. Wake up to the sound of birdsong, surrounded by native trees and absolute tranquility. Explore natural trails and discover the incredible biodiversity that survives in this resilient and little-known ecosystem. As night falls, get ready for one of the clearest and most star-filled skies in the country. Join our "beer & stars in the dry forest" activity, where you can stargaze and spot constellations while enjoying a cold drink under the night sky. Every night you spend at Bosque Seco directly supports the conservation and reforestation of this unique ecosystem, helping to fund native species planting and collaborative work with local communities. Let yourself be embraced by silence, red landscapes, and endless stars. At Bosque Seco, rest is also an act of restoration.

Neighborhood info

🌵 Tatacoa Desert: A Natural Paradise of Cacti and Stars Located in the heart of Colombia, the Tatacoa Desert is not a desert in the strict sense, but rather a tropical dry forest that amazes visitors with its geological formations, reddish tones, and arid landscapes that feel like another planet. Shaped by wind and time, this territory is one of the best places in the country for stargazing, thanks to its clear skies and low light pollution. Beyond its trails winding through sand mazes and giant cacti, Tatacoa is home to resilient and quiet biodiversity, where birds, reptiles, and native plants coexist in harmony. It’s a perfect destination for those looking to disconnect from the noise, reconnect with nature, and experience something truly authentic.
