Amazing way to reconnect with the natural world! - 🌿 El Encanto Guanapalo Reserve Review If you’re looking for a place that truly reconnects you with nature in its purest form, El Encanto Guanapalo Reserve in the Colombian Llanos is nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment you arrive, you realize this isn’t just a destination, it’s an experience. Set across tens of thousands of acres of protected savanna, the reserve offers a rare glimpse into a part of Colombia that feels completely untouched. The landscapes stretch endlessly, with golden grasslands, winding rivers, and skies that seem to go on forever. Sunrises and sunsets here are breathtaking, quiet, expansive, and deeply grounding. What makes Guanapalo truly special is its wildlife. Every day feels like a private safari. You’ll encounter capybaras lounging along the water, herds of cattle moving across the plains, vibrant birdlife, and if you’re lucky, even caimans or deer. The guides are incredibly knowledgeable and clearly passionate about conservation, which adds a meaningful layer to every excursion. The hospitality strikes the perfect balance between rustic and comfortable. The accommodations are simple but thoughtfully designed, allowing you to feel immersed in nature without sacrificing the essentials. The food is fresh, local, and plentiful and enjoyed in a communal setting that makes it easy to connect with others and share stories from the day. What stood out most, though, was the sense of intentional preservation. This isn’t a commercialized resort, it’s a place rooted in sustainability, culture, and respect for the land. You leave not just relaxed, but changed…more aware, more present, and deeply appreciative of the natural world. El Encanto Guanapalo isn’t just a trip—it’s the kind of experience that stays with you long after you’ve left.

Hato Altamira- place to unwind and disconnect - Very nice place, it was dry season so it was very hot. But the very friendly and helpful staff and our guide Edgar very friendly and took the time to look for the palm tree bear which unfortunately was not seen. The rooms are very clean and spacious. Very generous and delicious food and very attentive and friendly kitchen ladies told us scary stories 👻 The only thing I would criticize is that in the heat it is, they should put ventilators to the employees of the hat, because the heat does not let them rest well.

The flat is not cute, it is spectacular 🤩 - An unforgettable experience in El Encanto de Guanapalo. Our stay at the Hato Altamira was wonderful: a beautiful, authentic place full of life. Don Germán and Doña Marta are amazing hosts, and Ramón, the caporal, makes all the difference. His love of the plain, his knowledge and the very genuine way of sharing it make the experience unique and deeply special. More than a trip, it was a real connection to the savanna and its people. Definitely a place that makes you want to go back.

It's really a charm. - It is a wonderful experience to enjoy the charm of the plain. The safaris are unforgettable and provide the opportunity to see the flora and fauna that inhabits the place (we could see even a cougar hunting!). The rooms are very comfortable and the food is delicious, this considering that the accommodation is located in a secluded site. 100% recommended for those who enjoy nature and indigenous experiences.

100% recommendable - This Easter we went to the HATO MONTANA of the Encanto de Guanapalo Reserve. We are a family of 6 px. And the truth is, the days we spent were very nice. We liked everything. The atmosphere is very authentic and at the same time professional. Very nice environment. The experience is very complete and true. The people who assisted us were very professional and dedicated. A highly recommended experience to get to know the plains life and the jewels that this land hides.

Incredible experience - It was an incredible experience! Our guide Eli knows a lot about birds and has the ability to see many animals! The herd staff is extremely friendly. The ranch overlooks a lake full of caimans, chiguiros and various birds. An immersion in the life and customs of the plains, highly recommended!

We were not happy at all by this experience - First the good things, the nature, the animals. But .... keep in mind that you are hours away from everything and you are not allowed to leave the place outside the fence. So you are stucked and have no freedom to go anywhere. The price is also extremely high, we payed 9.452.000 COP !!! for 3 nights which is crazy. They forced us to take a personal bilingual guide and an extra guide. We had no choice ... Of course you have to pay the guides accomodation, meals .... Our spanish is basic. But we realized later , at the end of our 3 month travel that this was not feeling correct at all. The last thing that you have to keep in mind, the heat is hard, but that is okay but the moment we were there, the solar panels did not work well and all of the electricity was on a low rate. So at 6 pm you cannot do anything, not read, nothing but sitting waiting till it was bed time. The activities were just poor , just 1 act in the morning for 2 hours and 1 in the afternoon for 2 hours .... all the extra time in a day you cannot do anything. Just sit and wait ..... We once had a day that the activity stopped at 11.30 am and the next one was at 4 pm ! so that means 4.5 hours of doing nothing, not allowed to walk, and the evenings are dark and long ..... really were not happy with our decision traveling whole the way to their ranch.
