1. The Dreamer Hostel – Santa Marta
Jungle vibes, massive pool, and a bar with dangerously good cocktails. Perfect base for the Lost City trek or, let’s be honest, doing absolutely nothing.
2. El Rio Hostel – Buritaca
Tucked away in the jungle near Tayrona, this riverside legend is one big beer garden. Beach, tubing, live DJs, hammocks… and a bar that rarely shuts up shop.

3. Viajero Cartagena Hostel – Cartagena
Colonial charm with a party punch. The courtyard bar hosts live music, salsa nights, and other excuses to drink rum instead of seeing the sights.
