A note from the owner
I'm British, a civil engineer, and I have always loved beautiful architecture. Ten years ago I came to Colombia and fell for its Caribbean coast — the Sierra Nevada rising straight out of the sea, and the indigenous communities who have lived at its foot for centuries. I had always dreamed of a treehouse. So I built one, then another, by hand and from local materials. It was a passion project, never a business plan.
It became both. Seven years and 289 reviews later, La Casa en el Árbol sits in El Divino Niño, a quiet local neighbourhood ten minutes' walk from the beach and twenty from the river. Guests wake to birdsong, swim under the palms and fall asleep to the jungle — and then they write about it.
