Santa Marta Accommodation Finca Barlovento Sustainability

Caring for destination

This accommodation provider has taken action to address one or more issues (whether environmental, social or cultural) which will contribute positively to the long term viability of the destination and hence their site displays a Caring for the destination rating.

Main area of focus in Caring for the Destination:  


Ecological Integration


Detailed description of the Caring for the Destination Initiative: 


The eco-tourist cottage "Barlovento" has been awarded with the National Award of Architecture of Natural Integration.

Its natural integration is complete as it is built of natural elements such as wood and materials of the surrounding areas. The house rests on a big rock between the river and the Caribbean Sea.


Daniel García, the owner, has committed himself to the natural environment. He grows flowers, cleans the beaches and pathways adjacent to the Finca.


The meals offered by the Finca consist of fresh fish and fruits of this wonderful place.
