Hostal Casa del Rio

Cali & Southwest Colombia


Mocoa's original hostel – now run by a local family – stands amid lush gardens beside a gushing river. It has a collection of spartan rooms, some with air-con, that have seen better days and could be cleaner. It's a COP$7000 ride from town, and the setting is pleasant, although traffic noise can distract from the ambience.
