Ecohotel Hacienda El Diamante.

Located about eight kilometers from the historic center of Guadalajara de Buga, Ecohotel Hacienda El Diamante swaps the typical city hotel setup for an active, working countryside estate. Set amid the bamboo groves, lakes, and pastures of Valle del Cauca—complete with resident buffaloes and local birdlife—this rural retreat leans heavily into ecotourism and slow travel. Guests stay in hacienda-style rooms or cabins, spending their days transitioning from the outdoor pool to farm-style recreation like horseback riding, fishing, hiking, and cycling. It functions more like an experience-based retreat than a simple overnight stop, rounding out the rustic, family-friendly atmosphere with open-air grill kiosks, cooking classes, and occasional live music in the evenings.
