Casa Barlovento

We can’t conclude the account of our stay in El Parque Tayrona without describing the posada where we slept first: casa Barlovento.

Casa Barlovento is a private home, now converted in posada, with three open-air rooms (meaning without walls or windows) just on a deck above (literally ‘above’) the sea. Sleeping there is an experience, with the ocean breeze as blanket, and the sound of the waves crashing on the beach just under your mattress as soundtrack.

We have slept in many hotels, hostels, bad-and-breakfasts, cheap, expensive, breakfast included, breakfast excluded, silk blankets, bring-your-own blankets, bathroom inside, bathroom outside, no bathroom at all, etc. around the world. But few - if none - had the charm of this posada…

  3. not as far as i remember. the breeze of the sea kept them away.

    but can't exclude that in the rainy season there might be some.
