What is “Los Guayabales”?
Los Guayabales is a small cabaña (cabin) resort located in the hills of Norte de Santander Colombia that includes a pool and cafeteria. Perfect for a weekend getaway to escape in nature.
Where is “Los Guayabales” located?
Los Guayabales is located on the main road that connects Cúcuta and Pamplona. It’s roughly 1.5 hours from Cúcuta, Colombia (the closest major city) and approximately 30 min from Pamplona (a nearby college town) in the hills of Norte de Santander.
What do the Cabañas look like?
The Cabañas at Los Guayabales have a very unique look. They are triangular shaped and have very small windows. I felt as if I was in a small cottage.
What is the climate like?
I would consider the climate to be in the mild to cold range. Not as cold as neighboring Pamplona and definitely not as hot as Cúcuta. It may become colder in the night so make sure to dress appropriately.
What to do at “Los Guayabales”?
Los Guayabales is a great place to enjoy nature. It’s located in the green mountains of Norte de Santander and has fresh air quality. It’s a great place to go for a walk and enjoy your time with family and friends. You can also camp in tents if your feeling up to it.
Are there animals at “Los Guayabales”?
Yes, I attempted to do some birdwatching and also spotted some goats. See photo gallery below:
How to get there?
The easiest way if starting from Cúcuta would be to catch a bus from the terminal. The second closest major city is Bucaramanga which I would estimate to be around 4.5 to 5 hours in bus. If starting from Bucaramanga you can depart from the terminal and heads towards Cúcuta.
What is the cost?
A normal cabaña that fits 8 costs around 150 COP ($50 USD). The prices depend on the size of your cabaña and the date of your stay.
What are my recommendations?
If you happen to make the trip to “Los Guayabales” I recommened checking out some of the nearby pueblos (towns) to maximize your experience. Some of the nearby towns include: Pamplona, Pamplonita, Bochalema, Chinácota, and Mutiscua to name a few.
That concludes my September Edition Travel BLOG. For my trip next month, I plan to travel to Arauca. I will be documenting my experience here so stay tuned.
