Chalet Guamuez

Cali & Southwest Colombia


This faux-Swiss resort has tidy rooms overlooking a flower-filled garden that runs down to the lake. The basic rooms are fine but the pricier options are a major step up and have a private fireplace and small balconies. Ask for a room with a lake view – they're the same price as those looking toward the garden.

In fitting with the retreat vibe here, there are no TVs in the rooms, but there is a sauna, and horses are available for rent. The restaurant (mains COP$24,000 to COP$34,000) serves vegetarian dishes and fondue in addition to local favorites.
