Birding & culinary journeys
Discover Colombia’s Western Andes through extraordinary birdlife, garden-to-table cooking, and warm hospitality at Araucana Lodge, near Cali.
A place of rare beauty
Comfort, beauty, and care belong together here—in the lodge, across the land, and within the community that makes Araucana possible.
Araucana Lodge, Colombia’s Western Andes.
Among bamboo and palms in Colombia’s Western Andes, Araucana Lodge is a ten-room retreat just below the cloud forest, outside Cali—a place to slow down and feel close to the living world.
Across twenty acres of gardens and forest, three kilometers of trails invite you to follow the birds and linger among the trees. Back at the lodge, shared meals bring the flavors of our farm to the table.
