We stayed here a night as an easy yet rewarding trip from Santa Marta. Thanks Oscar - had an unbelievable stay. The Good: Where to start... Location. Unbelievable. Views over two valleys, mountain ranges on either side and Santa Marta and the ocean and island right infront. Incredible. It is a bit of a hike and we were able to... More

Words simply cant describe Oscar's place..... but, ill try I stayed at Oscar's as a part of a tour with Elemento Outdoor while staying at Taganga. We stayed at Oscars on the last night of a trekking/mountain bike tour. (which was also well worth it) The place is about a 15 minute walk down a small track from the centre... More

I stayed in Minca for two months as a volunteer, and found myself most attracted to Oscar's place. Outside of the town, its quiet with some of the best views in the area, which I discovered in the beginning of my stay and validated through spending more time traveling in the area. At Oscar's place, you pay for a room... More

We spent a night at Oscar's on our way up to San Lorenzo. I wish we'd had the time to stay for an entire month. Oscar is an exemplary host, who goes out of his way to make sure you have everything you need. The prices are incredibly reasonable, the food is great, but the views! Magnificent! If you have...

It's impossible to describe how incredible Oscar's place is - you really have to GO! We were the only guests at the time and it feels like you're staying with a long-lost laid back uncle. Prices are more than reasonable - $20000 for hammock, $25000 dorm bed and there's also a private double and stunning camping available. He cooks delicious fresh... More
