Casa Elemento

Probably the Colombian hostel with the most famous view, Casa Elemento is perched on a mountain ridge in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, overlooking the stunning green mountains and the distant Caribbean Sea. It is also the home of perhaps the most famous hammock in the world: a huge net contraption that hangs out over the mountain and can hold at least 10 people. Casa Elemento has a pleasingly communal vibe—including large group meals—hikes in the surrounding mountains, and a cracking bar and pool area.
