Where travelers, artists, and locals meet around music, creation, and nature — in the hills of Guatapé, two kilometers from the village.
Casa Kayam started from a simple idea: to create a place where the journey isn't just a stopover. A place where musicians, artists, travelers, and locals could meet around creation.
On a finca surrounded by nature, two kilometers from the village, you'll find a hostel, a professional recording studio, and a community that grows day by day.

"Truly unique place with a lot of creative energy. The hostel is so much more than just a place to stay: nature, common areas, creative spaces, workshops, and a well-equipped music studio. I even produced my first song there thanks to Jerome's patient Ableton classes."
"I came to glamping for one night and ended up staying 11 nights. Very relaxed and creative hostel, cool people, quiet location."

Artystyczna duszaFrom Medellín's Terminal del Norte, take a bus to Guatapé (about 2 hours, 25,000 COP). Buses run frequently. Once in Guatapé, a moto-chiva will bring you to Casa Kayam for 10,000 COP — every driver in town knows us. If you prefer to walk, it's a 25-minute walk down the road from the village.

Yes. We have a fully equipped kitchen. There's a small village shop nearby, and the village center has supermarkets and fresh markets.
