Casa Sol del Agua

Caribbean Coast


Do as the menus of this sweet little riverside cafe suggest: read a book, drink a coffee and enjoy the river – from one of its outdoor rocking chairs, no less. You'll find great breakfasts, fresh fruit juices, toasted sandwiches and delicious cakes at this simple place, where the kind owner fusses over her guests. Bicycles are available for COP$6000 per hour.

The casa also rents rooms.
