Se'Tena means "Wet Land" in the Damana language, one of the ancestral languages spoken in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta.
This land received its name from Mamo José Gil, who recognized it as a place of spiritual importance and harmony with nature.
Today we continue honoring that legacy by creating a destination where comfort, beauty and meaningful experiences coexist.
Every stay invites guests to reconnect with the rainforest and discover the peace that only nature can offer.
Boutique cabins thoughtfully designed to combine elegance, warmth and tranquility.
We believe every journey should inspire moments that remain long after your visit.
