The hostel is in the middle of the nature, just a couple of minutes away from the beach. If you want a relaxing place to stay, come here:) The work hours are pretty chill and you can enjoy what the little villages offer. I was there during the whale season and it was amazing:)

Ame wira pora ❤️ Doña Anselma and Laura were excellent hosts, they taught me a lot about the Colombian Pacific, I felt at home 🏡 The room is shared and very comfortable, the energy of the place is incredible and the food is incredibly tasty! I think I couldn't have had a better first time, very grateful, I hope to return soon ❤️‍🩹🇨🇴

Wira pora has its charm, a hostel between the calm and life of the forest, as well as being close to the sea, shops, you can dedicate yourself to enjoying the place or relaxing. If you go, give a little love to almendrita, guardian and la manchis. Sita Anselma makes some exquisite dishes, and Laura, she is the best host guide and a lovely person you can meet. Go, enjoy and learn.
P.S.: always with a little water, and mosquitoes are no joke.
