About

Relax amongst the mango and papaya trees in one of the best hostel gardens in the country complete with a heated jacuzzi to unwind after a hard day of adventure.

The original and most popular hostel in San Gil famous for its helpful Information and a great social atmosphere Macondo continues to rank number 1 in all major guide books. Host of San Gils famous Tejo Nights (local game with explosions) its a great place to meet other travellers and form groups to take on adventure activities.

We have a great selection of board games, Netflix, lockers, kitchen, coffee etc but its the quality of the activities and free information that we give saving our guests money and helping them have the best possible experience that has made us so popular.

With so much on offer in San Gil from so many companies of different standards we help you not waste time and get you on the water, in the air, on 2 wheels or underground with the best guides. Safety is huge for us and we wont recommend anything that I personally havent done myself.

Loved our stay in Macondo hostel - the team are all very friendly and helpful, especially with booking tours / taxis and giving advice. The place is spotless and facilities such as kitchen, shower and common areas are top tier. I’d really recommend anyone to stay here - and also try the pizza across the road in Cafe Europa (delish and so reasonable)!
