Eco Hotel Balcones de El Carrizal

“Conexión con la montaña”

It’s a wonderful spot, perfect for nature lovers looking for rustic lodging. The cabin sits amid mountains, about 15 minutes from El Cocuy, and the sunrises are beautiful on clear days when you can see all the snow‑capped peaks of the park. The setting is intimate and quiet, ideal for unplugging from everyday life and connecting with the mountains, wildlife, and flora. Giraldo, the owner, is warm and attentive, a local who knows every detail of what the region offers.

The view of the snow‑capped peaks and the friendliness and hospitality of Esteban and Don Giraldo were outstanding.

“"Paz, paisaje y vida silvestre: todo en un solo lugar"”

Staying at Balcones de El Carrizal was simply spectacular. The view of the Sierra Nevada and nearby villages is breathtaking: you wake up to birdsong, the scent of the countryside, and a landscape that looks painted—highly recommended to enjoy with a glass of red wine. The rooms are comfortable, clean, and cozy, and the whole place exudes calm. Don Giraldo and his son Esteban provided exceptional care: warm, attentive, and always ready to help. The homemade food was delicious, paired with local stories and anecdotes. With a bit of luck, you can spot deer, owls, armadillos, and even the majestic condor. It’s the perfect spot to rest, breathe fresh air, and reconnect with nature. I’ll definitely return. A note: if you’re driving, it’s better to arrive during the day because the road isn’t fully marked at night, and after San Mateo it becomes tricky in the rain.

“Muy bello”

The place is pretty and the views are amazing. We couldn’t see the snow‑capped peaks because it was cloudy, but the valley was still visible. It’s far from the town, which can be a challenge if you don’t have a private car. The cost per trip on a motorbike is 30,000.

The view is just superb, with the peaks shining in the morning, unlike what you’d see in El Cocuy itself. It sits at 3100 m, about 4–5 km after El Cocuy if you take the paved road. The owner Giraldo is an excellent guide and clearly very passionate about his property. I would strongly recommend this stay to all mountain lovers. Everything was fine.
