The Green Saman

Cali´s newest hostel, opened in October 2011, is located within a beautiful garden in the safe neighbourhood of Bellavista, 15 minutes from the city centre but also 5 minutes from the peace and tranquility of mountains overlooking the city, complete with walks to rivers and waterfalls your guide book doesn’t even tell you exist in Cali…

As backpackers or former backpackers ourselves we think we have everything here you would want from a hostel with our location and service making us one of the best hostels in South America. We will let you judge for yourself though, we can offer you; a friendly welcome from the Spanish & Scottish owners, swimming pool and outdoor bar, sauna, Turkish bath, a former Michelin star chef running our kitchen, ten course gourmet dinners on a backpackers budget, free gourmet breakfast, terrace bar, indoor café, big screen sports, a beautiful garden setting (where we grow our own food to cook for you), hand-built brand new beds, HOT showers, en suite rooms with Jacuzzi, free yoga, free salsa classes and trips including extreme sports organized from the hostel to the whole of the Valle de Cauca and the Pacific Coast.

And if there is anything you want not listed above, let us know and we will organize it for you. The Green Samán is bringing about a revolution in the South America backpacking experience, come and join us.
