Casa Mahatma is not on the estate: it is in the town of Palomino, and that is precisely the point. It is rented whole, with a street gate, its own garden and a covered hammock terrace, a few minutes' walk from the river, the beach and the town's restaurants.

It is the option for anyone who wants autonomy. It has an equipped kitchen with an island and gas hob, a living room, a dining room and several bedrooms with air conditioning, so a group can cook, come and go at their own pace and not depend on hotel hours.

It works well for families, groups of friends and longer stays, and also as a base for exploring: trips to the Kogui village of Seyviaka and towards the Los Flamencos Sanctuary and La Guajira all leave from Palomino.

It is ten kilometres from Finca La Jorará, so the two combine well: a few days in town and a few days on the private beach in the Sierra.
