Finca Hartmann


Popular with researching scientists, these very rustic, handsomely constructed cabins occupy fantastic surroundings. The smaller one has a bedroom, a bathroom and a kitchen. The bigger lodge counts six guest rooms over two stories; a veranda encircling the top floor is accessed via outside staircase. There's hot water and drinking water but no electricity.

The estate's five hiking trails pass through a variety of habitats between 1300m and 2000m. Guests can go on birdwatching excursions and coffee tours. The coffee harvest season runs roughly from October to January.
