Casa Indígena is the oldest traditional farmhouse at La Jorará. It has wide corridors surrounded by nature and original terraces preserved exactly as they were built.
Arhuaco is one of its five rooms — the double, with a private bathroom; the whole house sleeps up to seventeen. It suits anyone who wants to sleep inside the estate's history and needs nothing more than a good bed, cold Sierra water and silence. It is also the best-value unit at La Jorará.
