Punta Brava

One of the best places I have been on earth. Remote, nature, unbelievable beautifull in every aspect : lodging, staff, food besides the environment. Trips you can make to selba, whales, rivers and surfing! Life showed me the secrets of our planet. Miss this place and experience already. Life changing 🧡

We've stayed in very rustic accommodations in jungle lodges in Peru, and this felt like luxury! Yes, there is mosquito netting over the bed (but then you slept very comfortably knowing you were safe from the little biters), and only cold water showers, but they were so refreshing after hiking or swimming, and only shocking on the morning we had to leave.
We stayed in the separate cabin and loved all the space. Every evening, staff came by and let down the wall tarps in case it rained in the night, and the mosquito netting was set up for us, well before sundown. In the morning, the rain tarps were rolled back up, and our room was freshened while we were out on excursions.
We totally agree with a previous poster who said the Aruscicito hike/canoe trip was the best. We saw the most wildlife/birds on this one compared to any other outing. I was very happily surprised at the lack of mosquitos! I'm usually a magnet for them, and I even stopped wearing repellent to dinner and never got bitten. (WARNING — I was eaten up in the Nuqui "airport" while waiting for our plane back to Medellin. )
All of the staff were reserved, but friendly and helpful. The food is amazingly good for the location, and room rates include 3 meals a day. Alejandro is an excellent host. He was fascinating to visit with, speaks English very well, and was always checking in with us concerning activities or seeing if we needed anything.

We absolutely loved our stay at Punta Brava, it was our favourite part of our month trip away! The place is a remote slice of paradise, located on Colombia's wild Pacific Coast where the jungle merges with the ocean, stretching for miles.
We stayed in the private house which was perfect, surrounded by unspoiled forest with a view of the ocean. It had no walls (apart from optional transparent drapes if it rains), so you're really connected with the jungle, sleeping out in the open which we loved. It was a feeling of freedom. We had a whole beach to ourselves with the most incredible sunsets. There were walks from our property down crystal clear rivers to secluded waterfalls that were idyllic. We went diving too which we recommend. Nayibe's cooking was absolutely delicious! She was truly amazing, we couldn't wait for our next meal each day.
The whole experience was perfect, there were so many beautiful moments, we long to go back. If you're looking for complete relaxation, in a location that we were so grateful still exists in an overdeveloped world, then look no further! You won't be disappointed.
