Best accomodation in Marco’s place, San Jose del Guaviare
Ecolodge in the middle of the forest
Responsible Tourism
Marco’s place is a unique place. Located a few minutes outside San José del Guaviare, right next to the Laguna Negra, it’s a family project of ex-cocaleros. You will sleep in the heart of nature, in pretty wooden cabins or in a dormitory. By booking here, you are supporting a project to retrain former coca growers and promote peace in Guaviare.
