La Finca Agroturística El Portal is a rural venture located in Gachetá, notable for being a pioneer in nature tourism, agroecotourism and wellness tourism in the Guavio Region.
We offer locals and visitors unique experiences of personal connection with nature, participating in activities belonging to the most important sector of our economy and society: the Colombian Countryside.
Those who dare to live these experiences will feel firsthand the gratitude and respect for the work our farmers perform day by day, who not only contribute to our food but also to the holistic development of our society.
We are convinced that our services foster environmental awareness and recognition of the value of the countryside as one of the most meaningful lessons that our visitors take away at the end of their experience.
In our finca you will not only enjoy the integrated farm, but also various scheduled activities such as hiking, birdwatching, camping area and picnic. Additionally, we offer tourism packages that include visits to places and ventures in the region, thus contributing to the building of a local solidarity economy.
To complement this experience, we provide lodging in comfortable and rustic multi-occupancy rooms, ideal for families. You can also savor the typical Colombian cuisine in our country-style restaurant, a beautiful natural palm kiosk surrounded by landscapes that not only feed the body but also become a true feast for the mind and soul.
