Aldea Sabatinga

Amazing place! We went planning to stay for a week and loved it so much we decided to stay for three. The rooms are very spacious, you're surrounded by nature and animals 24/7, and Juan's service was impeccable.

I actually only planned to stay for a week, but already on the very first day I decided to stay longer. This coliving place truly feels magical. The nature, the property, the people and the life I lived there made it a wonderful experience. For me, it was the first time in Colombia that I had a hard time saying goodbye to a place. If I ever come back, I will return here without a doubt. Thank you Juan!

I initially planned to stay at Aldea Sabatinga for 2 weeks, but I ended up extending to 5 weeks because it was so hard to leave. ​It was truly an extraordinary experience. I met some beautiful people here with such inspiring philosophies. A huge thanks to Juan for his generosity and for making me feel so welcome in this amazing comunidad of San Peregrino. ​I’m already missing the incredible mountain views, the animals, and just the overall peace, listening to the birds and the sounds of nature every morning was a highlight. This coliving was perfect for my needs: I managed to get a lot of work done in a focused environment, but also shared some great moments with the other guests, like sharing typical dishes from all over the world. ​Can't wait to come back!

This place is the perfect spot for anyone who wants to connect with nature and experience real local life. It offers peaceful jungle views, dedicated workspaces, a fully equipped kitchen, and plenty of relaxing areas. Juan’s place is not just a hostel or coliving space; it’s a community, it’s a family. Juan truly cares about everyone at Aldea, sharing his stories and adventures with guests. I felt a real bond with everyone there. I never had any internet issues. The connection is very reliable, and my managers were surprised that I had no interruptions during meetings, even in the middle of the jungle. Most importantly, the place feels very safe, and the bus stops right at the main entrance. A beautiful place filled with beautiful people, inside and out. I definitely recommend this experience and will for sure be coming back.

I stayed at this coliving for one month and had a fantastic experience. The location is incredible — set on a mountain just outside Manizales with beautiful jungle views all around. It’s peaceful, relaxing, and the perfect place to disconnect while still having easy access to the city. Juan, the host, truly treats you like family. He checks in often to make sure everything is okay and genuinely cares about your experience. He provides great recommendations and has contacts for drivers, tours, and local events, which makes exploring the area super easy. His hospitality and warmth are amazing, and it’s easy to become friends quickly. The practical side is great too. There’s a bus that stops right outside to take you into town and back, plus a bakery, small shops for essentials, and a nice family restaurant all within walking distance. For remote workers, the Starlink internet is very reliable and fast. Juan also goes above and beyond — sometimes organizing epic hikes or treating guests to time in the jacuzzi with incredible views. I would most definitely return in the future and highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the Manizales area.

A very pleasant experience for relaxing...

A beautiful space to stay, explore and work! Thank you *so* much for such an amazing experience! I stayed for just a week (wish it was longer!) and during that time Juan took us on a hike one day, we watched a documentary one evening on the projector and we had a fire pit night too! The nature is extraordinary:)

Aldea Sabatinga is a special place. I originally booked for 1 week and extended for almost 3 weeks. I would have stayed longer had I not had future travel commitments. This is the perfect place if you are seeking solitude in a communal environment. You get plenty of privacy and still have the opportunity to be with others, including other co-livers and Juan’s family.

I had a wonderful and restorative month. I enjoyed it so much I returned after. Juan and his family are truly lovely and I greatly enjoyed getting to meet and know the other guests at Sabatinga. The rooms are spacious with fantastic outdoor bathrooms, great Starlink internet, and a well-equipped kitchen. There are bunnies, a dog, cats, and roosters. An extraordinary way to be more connected to nature and others.

Absolute gem.

A really cool co-living place in beautiful surroundings, close to a very small village center and about 20 minutes by bus from Manizales. Good and friendly atmosphere, spacious and basic rooms, green surroundings, and lots of animals. Incredibly nice host & family, neighbors, and locals. The only thing missing is a shared workspace and/or a proper desk.

What a beautiful paradise Juan has created! A truly special place with everything you need. Beautiful rooms, a comfortable bed, a hammock, and a heated outdoor shower—we truly enjoyed it! Juan is a wonderful host. Highly recommended!

Great stay at this co-living space near Manizales! The host was very welcoming, and the rooms were clean and minimal. The location is convenient, with easy access to bus transportation. The social atmosphere was fantastic—we connected with other guests through fun activities, and Juan even offered us a free hike, which was a great experience. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a comfortable and friendly stay in the area

Juan and Catalina are kind and helpful, I came for a day to look at the rooms for a potential longer stay and they were very generous with their time in showing me around

They don't accept all pets; it's a lie that they allow pets. After making the reservation, they told us that our German Shepherd had to be kept on a leash because there are rabbits, chickens, children, and small dogs there. So where's the truth about allowing pets if they have restrictions? The information is very poor. Besides, if they exclude or create obstacles to having your dog, it's best not to go.

I stayed in Sabatinga for almost a year. It truly is a magnificent place. Juan and Catalina were wonderful people, with whom I formed a beautiful relationship. Everyone who visited Aldea Sabatinga during my stay was enriching, both for the place itself and for me personally. It's a peaceful place with stunning views, lush greenery, and a delightful tranquility—exactly what I was looking for when I arrived. I'm now off on new adventures, and I'm so glad I came across this place, the people I met, the friendships I forged, and the moments we shared. Beautiful memories! I highly recommend it.

I've visited this wonderful place several times and have always been welcomed with kindness. Highly recommended if you want a unique experience with incredible people, surrounded by nature. Here you can feel peace, tranquility, inspiration, creativity, healing, and a connection to the simple and natural aspects of existence.

Living here has been an extraordinary experience, making me feel like I was an integral part of nature. Walking around barefoot and waking up to one of the most beautiful views from my room became my daily routine. Enjoying breakfast outside my room while soaking in the tranquil mountain scenery became my morning ritual, giving me a sense of peace and connection to the earth. The wildlife, from the variety of colorful birds, hummingbirds, and squirrels to even a rabbit, added to the magical feel of this place. The host, Juan, went above and beyond by picking me up from the bus stop at night, ensuring I felt welcomed from the very beginning. His hospitality made it easy to feel at home here. Additionally, befriending his incredibly cute dog was a delightful bonus that made my stay here even more memorable. The effort put into ensuring guests feel comfortable and integrated into this serene environment is truly commendable.

Aldea Sabatinga is a very special place to visit when you are near Manizales or nearby! I had the opportunity to live in this space for over a month and I am so happy I did it. Sabatinga is wonderful. You are surrounded and in nature since you walk in the door. The rooms are beautiful, full of light and very spacious. The outdoor shower was definitely my golden ticket. The common areas are excellent for personal work, outdoor and recreational activities and for meeting and engaging with other members of the community. Being part of a community living space was a treat for me and I recommend to anyone who is interested in having new living experiences. Everyone in Sabatinga is super nice and welcoming. We were able to plan several group activities that contributed to my experience and my personal growth. I can’t wait to be back!

The setting is magical, surrounded by nature. Juan's hospitality was outstanding; we felt right at home, and he recommended both restaurants and hikes that we absolutely loved. It's paradise!

We first discovered Aldea Sabatinga and fell in love with the place. It's a beautiful spot, tastefully decorated, and has a wonderful energy. Surrounded by nature, it's incredibly peaceful and the perfect place to disconnect... or even to stay connected while working remotely in a unique setting. Juan and Catalina are delightful, incredibly kind, and such lovely people that we could have stayed there forever. 100% recommended, and we hope to return very soon!

I stayed just over a week at this beautiful coliving space, and only wish I could have stayed longer. After a month of hopping around in Colombia, I was in need of peace and quiet and to not move. Aldea Sabatinga was the perfect place for it. The nature, the good energy, the quiet, a hammock in the room...it can't be beat. Juan and his family are such open and generous hosts, and the other guests were friendly and kind. If you're looking for a place to reset and just be, with a like-minded community of travelers, you've found it. Don't hesitate to book!

Connecting with oneself and nature in this place is magnificent.

A place that inspires you to relax, peaceful and green spaces; I definitely want to return. Highly recommended for those who love tranquility.

It's one of those charming places. A place where you feel the good energy as soon as you walk in. A place that leaves you feeling nostalgic when you leave. It's comfortable, clean, and different from the usual.

I stayed for a month at this coliving space and my experience was amazing! Juan and Cata, along with the other residents, made me feel at home from the first day. It's a truly magical place with positive and peaceful energy. Everything is very clean, and you can tell it was created with lots of love. The location is perfect, and it's easy to get around without a car (the bus stops right outside the door). Plus, the weather is ideal. It's never too cold, offering a beautiful mix of spring and summer, with warm, sunny days and cooler, calm nights. This place is perfect for relaxing and exploring the gorgeous coffee region. We shared unforgettable moments together, like yoga classes, meditation sessions, hikes, and dinners that really imbued the place with a beautiful communal energy. I would definitely recommend this spot to anyone visiting Colombia. Thank you so much for an incredible stay! I'll surely be back. :)

This place is magical! Every space has its own essence and unique energy. The natural surroundings and the warmth of the people make every moment you spend there a wonderful experience. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

A spectacular place, ideal for disconnecting from routine and connecting with nature. The energy of the people and the location will leave you recharged with love and peace. 100% recommended. Spectacular for ceremonies and events.

A truly magical experience. We spent incredible days surrounded by stunning Andean views and wonderful people in a captivating atmosphere. We would definitely return. Thank you to Cata and Juan for your exceptional hospitality.

Oh my god, such a beautiful place. Juan and his family did an absolutely fantastic job here to make you feel welcome. It is close enough to Manizales to take advantage of all it has to offer but far enough to enjoy the beautiful landscape and the tranquility and silence (! Which rarely ever happens in Colombia haha) The rooms are spacious, the outside bathrooms are phenomenal and there a lot of shared facilities to use. Really cool place, would love to have stayed longer

Our time at Aldea Sabatinga was incredible. It is a magical place, surrounded by nature, with a beautiful view: mountains, trees, birds wherever you are. It was a time to rest and reconnect.

Spectacular "jewel" in the mountains. Beautiful setting, quiet and peaceful, with excellent hosts. Also close to some fun activities in Manizales. Highly recommend

The place is incredible, the view is magnificent... The hosts are extremely kind and offer good advice.

Amazing coliving experience. Beautiful location in nature. Weather is warm. Hosts and people are super nice and attentive. Lots of activities to do or to be invited to. Rooms are spacious, clean and well furnished. Kitchen and shared spaces are great, comfortable and provide a good atmosphere to share or to enjoy with others or by yourself.
