I wish I could have walked this place in it's glory. Now, it's fairly run down and sad. It reminds me of the abandoned properties in Jurassic Park films with an abandoned aviary to match. Its quiet but if you have mobility issues, this is not for you. Interesting things to see but very run down now.

This is one of the most beautiful parks I have ever been to. There are so many things I liked and found very interesting, including the beautiful flowers, the fascinating variety of trees that adorn the entire place, the running river that fills the place with the sounds of splashing water and the 2 little ponds that fit in perfectly in the whole scenery. I would most definitely recommend a visit there.

Beautiful, super green park. The majority of the park contains nature walking trails with huge trees, a river and so much to see. There is also a restaurant that had good food and a swimming pool. Great place! I would visit again.

A pretty and peaceful stop to while away some hours and stretch your legs. We visited with our two small kids (1 and 4 years old) while on a road trip from Bogota to Los Santos. It was an easy win with the kids - lots of squirrels, birds and turtles to check out, some interesting plants for the adults, a decent playground and good restaurant (Plates were big and we shared, otherwise you could say it is a bit overpriced). Entry is 6k per adult and we didn’t have to pay for the kids. Pool was 10k/person - we opted out.

Great place to walk around and take pictures. Right downtown. Free if you are 60+, otherwise less than $2 each. A great activity for an hour or two.

This park is really nice, a bit hidden from the busy city you can find a decent peace of nature there. Stunning trees and multiple animals such as turtles or squirrels and parrots hummingbirds (if you are patient). Overall the visit will take you up to 30mn max. Worth considering if you have a bit to spend before catching a bus.

I loved it, the place is magical, it is a place to breath and relax, to hear the nature, there is a swimming pool too, it cost 6000 COP the ticket and 10000 COP if you wanna go to the swimming pool.

Had some orders mixed up, and in general the food wasn't very good. Felt like a tourist trap. Just go to one of the other places. The meat was quite okay, the yam was quite good, the rice, the vegetables and tortillas were stale and tasted old. The tropical chicken is with strawberry jam? Very strange choice...

We asked our hostel where to go for dinner, they sent us here. Sat on a balcony over looking the park. Great service, friendly, and we had a GREAT meal. My wife says I eat enough for two people and I couldn’t finish my meal. I had the traditional goat meal and my wife had a chicken salad, which was a big salad and it came with fries.

I was asking for a good place to have fish for lunch. The hostel recommended El Balcón. I didn't expect a place that had such a great location to have good food. I thought that people would go just for the location, and not for the food. I was so surprised! The soup was excellent, and the fish was perfect!! A generous size mojarra cooked perfectly! I had a seat on the balcony overlooking the park. Great service. And it was only 20,000. I was so happy! I went back the next day for dinner, but didn't stay, because after 4pm the price doubled!!! Si, I went back the following day for lunch. It was so disappointing! The fish was a overcooked, greasy, and it was so salty I could hardly eat it! I don't know if three different chefs all put salt on it, or if someone dropped the salt container on my fish. It was terrible. So, I had one really excellent meal there, and one terrible meal there.

little pricy for Colombia but very taste food !

Not only did the food they served taste pretty badly (like chicken tropical with ice cream strawberry sauce, or cold fries), but some of it was probably spoiled. The rice tasted off, and the cut onions were easily a few days old. Go somewhere else if you are looking for traditional food just go somewhere else.

We ate here atleast 15 times in a week. Enormous menu. All good quality food, service implacable! Pastas jummie, soup perfect shakes wow. Skip the usual places and eat here. Prices wise quality wise the one to beat in San Gil.

Fabulous. Best catfish I've ever had and I was raised on Louisiana, USA catfish. Husband and I had 2 and shared, both excellent. Helpful staff, good prices and nice interior. Wd highly recommend and definately will return.

My wife and I, along with her cousin and his wife, had an absolutely phenomenal experience at Gringo Mike’s in San Gil! From the moment we stepped in, the atmosphere was incredibly relaxing and welcoming, striking the perfect balance of casual and socially vibrant. It’s the kind of place where you feel instantly at ease, whether you’re catching up with friends or enjoying a cozy meal with family. The food? Simply out of this world! Every dish was bursting with flavor, prepared with care and creativity that made each bite a delight. From the perfectly seasoned mains to the mouthwatering sides, it was clear that Gringo Mike’s takes pride in serving delicious, high-quality food that leaves you wanting more. The menu had something for everyone, blending bold flavors with comforting classics in a way that felt both exciting and familiar. We spent the evening laughing, sharing stories, and savoring every moment in the warm, inviting ambiance. The staff were friendly and attentive, adding to the overall charm of the place. Gringo Mike’s is an absolute gem in San Gil, and we’re already looking forward to our next visit. If you’re in the area, do yourself a favor and stop by—you won’t be disappointed! Highly, highly recommended!

AMAZING burgers and onion rings! San Gil didn’t prove itself being the Food Mecca on our 2 month trip but the guys at Gringo Mike’s now their burgers! We came back three times and it was always delicious! The staff was also always friendly and helpful. If you look for a big, good quality burger accompanied with good tunes- this is the place to be! 😎

Great place for american comfort food. The menu is large and has plenty of options : burgers, burritos, salads, sandwiches. Portions are large just as Americans like it. Very satisfied and highly recommend

If I could give them 6/5 stars I’d surely do it. Amazing and fast service. My girl ordered a burrito and I ordered a burger. However, what they served to us was the best culinary experience we’ve ever had. Long story short… best restaurant in the area.

I’ve went here a couple of times and was always the only one there (the entire town’s pretty empty right now) so I can’t say much about the atmosphere. The food is great and varied but the prices are a bit high.

Yummy food and great hospitality. I’ll definitely be coming back. Portion sizes are pretty big and filling.

The food is the best that I have tasted in this area! The service is great and the prices are fine as well. The restaurant is filled with candle lights which gives a “romantic” atmosphere to the place.

Did the 140 meter bungee. The staff were helpful with my nerves. When I asked for help after I was too chicken to jump the 1st try, the 1 guy told me to hold the harness instead of the railings. And that's when I knew there was no way I wasn't going down then! On the second try, the guy behind kicked me a little which gave my body just the jolt it needed to dive headfirst. I don't have any photos in an X like others I've seen cuz I went headfirst like right away somehow. I've met 2 people who got hurt bungee-ing and both got hurt cuz they weren't head first. For me, I didn't really focus too hard on that, it just happened and as I was falling I thought "bless, I'm headfirst, I don't have to worry about that anymore" 😂 So my photos are just of the tops of my shoes. You can feel a kind of tug on your ankles once you're hooked up to the bungee, which made me feel very secure that I wasn't going to disconnect from the bungee. It also felt like if you stood there long enough, it'd eventually drag you down when you're not prepared which could be very unsafe. So that feeling was also motivation to jump. Getting the nerve to jump was not as scary as I expected (the push from the guy was a big help, I'm sure). I think the scariest part was when I was being brought up and was so close to the platform but had to wait for them to pull the bungee up before they could bring me all the way in. The feeling was nothing like I had ever experienced before, so I recommend everyone who can to try bungee jumping at least once. I personally did not enjoy the feelings going through me as I was bouncing, spinning, and dangling. It felt like I was down there for 5 minutes, but the videos prove it wasn't even 2 whole minutes! But I have no clue how to describe how it felt, so I can't say it wouldn't be a good feeling for other people! I'm glad I did it and I felt very safe and hyped up with the people at Bungee Extremo. But I know it's not a feeling I want to experience more than once! Now when I watch the videos, I lose it when I hear my screams 😂😂

Loved being there! It’s a must if you’re staying in San Gil or Barichara. Here you can enjoy typical food, beverages, get some drinks and the best part is that it has attractions like bungee, a cable to the other side of the cliffs and a huge swing! Prices are affordable and taxis always come and go, if you want to return using the bus be aware that they have a specific time (every hour or so)

Bungee jumped here at the tallest bungee in South America. Then sat down and had a beer and watched the sunset. Food was good. The view is breathtaking.

Amazing place with one of the best views of San Gil. With a restaurant and coffee. And they also offer extreme activities like hanging bicycle big swings and many more. Great to go with family or friends.

I did the bungee jumping, 140m it was fantastic, Video option are good, but the best one is almost the same price as the jump, so, yeah, but great place,great view and nice activities

A must stop !! what a great place in the middle on the country town ! Food is great, coffee fantastic, drinks absolutely delicious, so well done in the kitchen, with the best view in town ! and prices pretty good too !. On the adventurous activities these are pretty good and safety is paramount as expected so well done !! looking forward to passby again soon !!

Amazing extreme adventure park, can recommend the zipline over the canyon and the extreme swing!

The food is very good and the owner is great. Our new favorite spot in San Gil. You get a lot of food

This little place has big flavor. One of the best Bandera Paisa I have had. The other dishes ordered by our group were equally delicious. We are happy we found it early in or stay. The proprietor was also our waiter. Very personal and congenial service.

The bandeja paisa is excellent (and huge! easily sharable by two people if you don't have a very big appetite) and so is the panela lemonade. The prices weren't exaggerated either so a good value for the money. The staff was very friendly as well. Would recommend.

Very nice local food with great service. The place is small (space for about 15-20 pers. max) and simply decorated, which makes it more intimate. The kitchen is open, but it's clean and well aired up so not a problem. In the contrary, I appreciated the fact that you can see the prepartion of the food. Service was excellent and the staff very friendly. The food was very good. We got the arepas de pollo, the patacones and the chorizo. Everything is worth to try. Price was very decent (we paid COP 45k / USD 15 for a 2 people lunch) considering the proximity to the city center and the number of other restaurants in the neighbourhood. Highly recommended for a quick bite or simple lunch/diner. Thank you to El Meson de Arriero team!

After a month in Medellin and the zona cafeteria a little to my surprise I ended up with one of the better bandeja paisas of my time in Colombia in San Gil. The real standout, though, was the cazuela de frijoles and chicharron. The spicy and savoury salsas are also noteworthy. Well worth a stop for lunch for those looking to get away from burgers and pizza.

We read all the positive reviews and figured we had to eat here. We hadn’t had pork ribs in a while so we thought we would try the Costillas de Cerdo. So we thought that 30,000 COP was pretty expensive for a dish, but after reading all the positive reviews we said what the heck, let’s splurge a little. And we thought for 30,000 we would have some left over for tomorrow. Don’t waste your money. The 7 or 8 small pieces of tasteless ribs were a complete disappointment. Not sure how they could justify charging that kind of money for that. I’m sure the 10,000 COP Chicharron would have been a much better deal. We also had the Alitas (wings). They were undercooked with blood around the bone. We ordered the picante, but there seemed to be no heat to them. Altogether a disappointing experience. Don’t waste your money here unless you have the Bandeja Paisa. Go next door to Gringo Mikes. Better food for a fraction of the cost. The only positive thing about this experience was that the owner was friendly.

Good food nice host. Like the little side salad rare to have salad or vegetables in Colombia. May be a bit expensive for Colombia but prices seem to go up everywhere...

Not bad, but not wow. The only wow thing was the service.

Good place for a "Corrientazo", a good natural juice.

(Translated by Google) Very good flavor, if you want to try fried meat or goat, I recommend the place. (Original) Muy buen sabor, si quiere probar carne oreada o cabrito, le recomiendo el lugar.

(Translated by Google) This place is GREAT. It has great service, not too long wait times, adequate restrooms, and delicious food. I tried one of the burgers and it was amazing. Prices are reasonable. In short, it's a great place. You should go there after an extreme day. (Original) Este lugar es EXCELENTE, buen servicio, la espera por los pedidos no es mucha , cuanta con baños adecuados y los platos son deliciosos, probé una de las hamburguesas y estaba increíble, con precios adecuados . En resumen es un excelente lugar , luego de un dia extremos debes ir allá

(Translated by Google) The place is spacious, the food is delicious, the dishes we tried were very delicious and the portion was generous versus the cost. The service was good. I totally recommend the burger that won the festival, delicious and with sweet touches. (Original) El lugar es amplio, la comida es deliciosa, los platos que probamos estaban muy ricos y la porción fue generosa versus el costo. El servicio fue bueno. Recomiendo totalmente la hamburguesa que ganó el festival, deliciosa y con toques dulces.

(Translated by Google) The place is quite airy. It is spacious. Although it has been very hot lately, the place was not that hot. The quality-price ratio is good considering that the dishes are large and not very expensive. The service was good and fast, the dishes came out quickly and it was Mother's Day. I ordered goat, which is the specialty, and it was delicious. Although I am a very carnivore, I think that the accompaniment of salad, pepitoria, yucca, and arepa balances the dish well. My companions ordered wings and there really were a lot of wings. Next time I will order something else and I will continue commenting... (Original) El lugar es bastante aireado. Es amplio. A pesar que últimamente ha hecho mucho calor, el lugar no era tan caluroso. La relación calidad-precio es buena tendiendo en cuenta que los platos son grandes y no son muy costosos. La atención fue buena y rápida, los platos salieron rápido y eso que era el día de la madre. Pedí justamente cabro que es la especialidad y estuvo rico, aunque soy muy carnívoro considero que el acompañamiento de ensalada, pepitoria, yuca y arepa equilibran bien el plato. Mis compañeros pidieron alitas y realmente eran muchas alitas. A la próxima pediré otra cosa y seguiré comentando...

(Translated by Google) Everything we ordered was delicious, including the Santander arepa, which was true to its original flavor. The pepitoria was also very good. Plus, they're pet-friendly. (Original) Todo lo que pedimos, estaba muy rico, la arepa santandereana , fiel a su sabor. La pepitoria también muy buena. Además, son Petfriendly

A very delicious place full of flavors. Special dishes ... Fish. But poultry and beef are found there. Take a good time to spend... Food is prepared fresh, so it is not a fast food service. Price is not bad for the product. Service is great.

An old renovated house in San GIl. Truly recomended, best sea food in town!.

Amazing sea food, you have to try it.

Great seafood, slow service

Excellent, a must visit nearby this town

The right place when you want Sea food

Nice

Good service, nice typical food from Santander.

Super

(Translated by Google) Excellent place in San Gil to try the Santander seasoning: pepitoria, goat, roasted meat. It also has other options such as chicken and meat. The seasoning is very homely. The portion is generous. The soups are delicious. The attention is exceptional. The price is reasonable. It does not have a parking option but it is possible to park in front in this area that is mostly residential. (Original) Excelente lugar en San Gil para probar el sazón santandereano: pepitoria, cabrito, carne oreada. También cuenta con otras opciones como pollo y carnes. El sazón es muy hogareño.

No tiene opción de parqueadero pero es posible aparcar al frente en esta zona que es mayormente residencial.

Very beautiful! We took the path up at the mainland entrance but we walked down from the other side of the waterfall which I'd very much recommended. You walk trough water and mud but the waterfall has so many levels and you can go for swims everywhere, it's a lush green jungle path!

What an incredible experience! We visited today as a group of 7 and all chose our own adventures. I did the zip lining and rappel down the waterfall. Even though these might seem like risky activities, the professional staff made it feel safe and straightforward. I’m so glad we came here, we now have wonderful memories and photos to share. Big thanks to Wilson, our brave and brilliant guide, who led us through the park and made this an unforgettable day.

Beautiful must visit! On site rappelling and adventure course! English speaking for rappelling 🫶🏼

Amazing waterfall to visit while in San Gil! Takes about 30 minutes to get to by public bus. The walk leading to the waterfall is nice n relaxing as well. Make sure to go to the big waterfall. It is possible to do rappelling here as well.

A great place to check out if you’re in the San Gil area. Only a 30 minute drive from San Gil, and about a 20-30 minute climb to the waterfall. Not super challenging but it will get the heart rate up. Great to swim and hangout at the waterfall. Very peaceful and enjoyable!

Beautiful stone pathways take you through a lush tropical forest to rhe lowest part of rhe cascade. If you want to see the upper falls, take the trail to the right at the Yellow building.

To get there you have to walk approx 30 min thru the jungle (nothing difficult) and it's worth it! Waterfall is beautiful. Entrance is 15k which seems to me pricey but at the end we were able to accept it cause the whole trail and waterfall were great

What an amazing experience. I recommend this place to anyone 👌. Isa was so nice and professional in helping us book everything. Kevin was so amazing with the drone. Taking beautiful videos and pictures. David the instructor was the best. He helped me motivate to jump. This place spectacular

Wow wow wow! Amazing experience! I was so nervous going into this activity and they did a great job at helping me through my fears and making me feel confident. Everyone was great. 100% recommend this place!

Surprisingly Amazing experience! It's worth 2:30 hours driving from Bucaramanga. Worth your time! And San Gil is beautiful 😍❤️

One of the best and exhilarating experiences while travelling! Columbia bungee jumping were extremely professional and all of the equipment is in great condition, I felt very safe for my jump

This experience was just amazing! The best time of my life! Employees take real good care of us, the equipment is super safe. I would do it again for sure!

Very professional and lots of fun. Juan and his team make you feel secure, find the right jump style for you and give photos included. Loved the experience and highly recommend it.

We did our 70 Meter Bungee Jumping with Colombia Bungee Jumping. It was our first time doing this activity and I would say it was an amazing experience. The staff here is really professional and courteous. Especially our instructor Juan made our experience more pleasing and exciting. They are very focused on safety and customer satisfaction. They will make sure you enjoy this experience thoroughly. And the best part is that you can also ask for additional services including Drone Videos and photos. I would highly recommend this company to do your first Bungee Jump. A must visit when you come to San Gil.

Nice viewpoint over the city of San GIl. Nothing spectacular, but worth it to check it out if you're nearby. The way to get there isn't too hard aprt from one bit that is quite steep, right after the big mall (prefer proper shoes over flip flops even if the ascension remains on concrete surface). There is also another viewpoint called La Gurta across the city from la Gruta.

Simple walk up a steep hill with some cars and then small walk up side walkway. Worthwhile for exercise and something simple and close. Good outlook over the town.

Nice view over San Gil. Short walk. Pets welcomed. Safe.

Nice view over the city!

A nice place to get a good view of San Gil surrounded by the mountains. The initial part of the walk is a bit steep but worth it for the view.

Nice view of San Gil, not much to do here but always a good place

It has a fantastic view of the town, but is not safety.

Super

(Translated by Google) It is a good place, on the menu there are several options (burgers, wings, skewers, hotdogs, some cuts of meat and starters) there is only one vegetarian option, they have several beers and the cocktails are not bad, the most interesting thing about the place is the view of San Gil (Original) Es un buen lugar, en el menú hay varias opciones (hamburguesas, Alitas, brochetas, hotdogs, algunos cortes de carne y entradas) hay solo una opción vegetariana, tienen varias cervezas y los cocteles no estan mal, lo mas interesante del lugar es la vista de San Gil

(Translated by Google) I liked the place, I liked the well-organized menu, they have a variety of micheladas, rock music and more, but what we didn't like one bit were the "chicken" wings, my wife and I concluded that they might have been pigeon wings, because they were very small, we didn't like the flavor either, the waitress asked us what we thought of it and we weren't able to tell her the truth. (Original) Me gustó el lugar, me gustó la carta bien organizada, tienen variedad de micheladas, música rock y más, pero lo que no nos gustó ni un poquito fue las alitas de "pollo", con mi esposa concluimos que depronto eran alas de paloma, porque eran muy pequeñas, el sabor tampoco nos gustó, la mesera nos preguntó sobre cómo nos había parecido y no fuimos capaces de decirle la verdad.

(Translated by Google) Excellent place to share some time with friends or family, good options for drinks, cocktails, food; good atmosphere and good service. (Original) Excelente sitio para compartir un rato con amigos o familia, buenas opciones de tragos, cócteles, comida; buen ambiente y buena atención.

(Translated by Google) A place to spend a pleasant time. The burgers are top-notch, delicious. Good prices and a great atmosphere. (Original) Un lugar para pasar un rato agradable. Las hamburguesas muy top, deliciosas. Buenos precios y buen ambiente.

(Translated by Google) Well-known place, clean with very good music, perfect for an afternoon or evening of drinks, rock videos from the 80's and 90's, the service is very good, the only low point I would think is the meals, it is not the best they have but definitely a good place for a couple of beers. (Original) Lugar conodo, limpio con muy buena música, perfecto par una tarde o noche de tragos, videos de rock de los 80's y 90's la atencion en muy buena, el único punto bajo pensaria que son las comidas, no es lo mejor que tienen pero definitivamente un buen lugar para un par de cervezas.

(Translated by Google) The place has classic rock music, delicious food and good prices, all kinds of drinks, including cocktails, beers and more, it is inside the El Puente shopping center with parking areas and more. (Original) El lugar cuenta con música rock clásico, comidas ricas y buen precio, toda clase de bebidas, entre cócteles, cervezas y demás, está dentro del centro comercial El puente con zonas de parqueadero y demás

The atmosphere is really cool, it's clean and spacious; the price of the food is pretty good, it's delicious, clean and a good enough portion size, sometimes when it's full it could take some time so you will need a little bit of patience.

Amazing service with amazing food for a cheap price!

The food is one of the best we have eaten in Colombia. The service is even better. Beside the food you order you also get some site dishes. Vincent

the best menu del dia in our 3 months journey through south america. really delicious food and healthy! totally recommend this.

Owner was amazing. The food is so delicious. The salad was so good.

Tasty food and great service. Big portions in awesome price Highly recommended.

Hours online and on the door wrong. Closed.

Very cool market with very helpful vendors

Best market in the town, good fresh juices, tasty arepas, fresh fruits and veggies. Lowest prices in the town

The best place for fresh food

You can find everything on sale

Ok

Super

(Translated by Google) It is not a market square, it is a very clean market house with tiled floors, impeccable sales stalls and it feels very cozy, it is like a large house full of sales stalls with a rich variety of fruits and vegetables. It is located next to the main park... excellent location!!! (Original) No es plaza de mercado, es una casa de mercado muy limpia con piso embaldosado, puestos de venta impecables y se siente muy acogedor, es como una gran casona llena de puestos de ventas de rica variedad de frutas y verduras. Está ubicada junto al parque principal... excelente sitio!!!

Great place to find lots of fresh fruit and veg. Go earlier in the day though as most merchants close early (around 1pm ish is what we’ve found).

Nice place!!! Variety

Found some mangos 4k COP each and got lunch here. Pretty small market but does the job!

Nirmal

(Translated by Google) You must try the milkshake and the punch... Very delicious and they also give you something on top... Which is the bonus. (Original) Deben probar el batido y el ponche... Muy rico y aparte dan encime... Que es la ñapa

(Translated by Google) Very nice market, from 6:00 a.m. You can do your shopping there. (Original) Très joli marché, des 06h00 du matin. On peut y faire ses courses.

(Translated by Google) We went to this place because my husband wanted to eat "pichon", a typical Santander dish made with beef blood, I ordered "chanfaina" and they say that this is the best place to try them, the market square is a place full of colors and flavors, full of friendly people. (Original) Fuimos a este lugar porque mi esposo quería comer "pichon" plato típico santandereano hecho con sangre de res, yo pedí "chanfaina" y dicen que este es el mejor lugar para probarlos, la plaza de mercado es un lugar lleno de colores y sabores, lleno de gente amable.

(Translated by Google) The view of the river is very pleasant from almost any part of San Gil but the smell can also be perceived from everywhere. This river is a recipient of sewage and people from all over the country go canoeing in the sewage of this town. Terrible management, they even have a sign announcing this and people still get on those canoes. (Original) La vista del río es muy agradable desde casi cualquier parte de San Gil pero el olor también se percibe desde todo lado. Este río es receptor de aguas negras y va gente de todo el país a hacer canotaje en aguas negras de este pueblo. Terrible la gestión, incluso tienen un letrero que anuncia esto y la gente aún así se sube a esas canoas.

I loved staying at this hostel, right on the main square in San Gil. Diego and Amanda made me feel right at home, booked my rafting and caving excursions with ease, and gave me recommendations around the area. The rooms and common areas were clean, as well as the pool and sauna (!) which was a first for me. The only minor complaint I had was that the mattress I slept on wasn't entirely comfortable (indent down the middle and I woke up a lot from discomfort). The sliding door to the room might also need some adjustment as it was difficult to open. Overall, great stay in one of my favorite small towns in Colombia and I hope to be back again soon!

I stayed at Sam’s VIP hostel for 1 night and decided to extend it because everyone was so friendly and there’s so much to do in San Gil!! Sam himself is extremely kind and helpful along with his receptionists. The recommended all kinds of activities and even booked me a moto taxi when I was in a rush. The hostel itself is huge and has beautiful views of both the city and the mountains from the pool. It also has a great classical guitar that I played every night. I can’t recommend here enough!

Really nice laidback hostel with a terrace overlooking the main square. 2 kitchens, plenty of bathrooms to use between guests and comfortable beds. The home is a little dated but it’s no problem for us. We would return.

Very nice hostel and unbeatable price right in the centre! They even offer a Sauna which was the first hostel I ever encountered with that. Amanda is super nice and helped me with my plans in San Gil and made me feel very welcome right away. I would always come back to it, 10/10

I have stayed here 4 days so far! It is right on the main park and right at all the shops and restaurants! A pool, sauna, balcony overlooking the park. Clean rooms, very low cost, and the friendliest staff you can imagine, to book any adventure activity you desire! Sam, Amanda, and Catherina are muy muy chimba! Look no further! Also a big central room to hang out and talk!

Brilliant hostel. Really nice and helpful staff. I've stayed in both of the main hostels in San Gil and both are equally as good IMO.

100% the best hostel in San Gil. The staff are unbelievably friendly and helpful. The whole hostel gives off a vibe of living in a flat with some really cool and chill people. The kitchens are really well equipped which makes cooking at home really easy and enjoyable. On top of that the living area offers a place for you to eat where you can watch TV, chill by yourself and or socialize with others. The swimming pool area is beautiful. The pool is kept really clean and the sauna is a great bonus. It's a perfect place to chill, play around in the pool and catch some sun, or just read a book. All the rooms are clean and the cleaning staff are super friendly, they offer you fresh towels and sheets everyday. Furthermore the hostel offers a range of activities in the San Gil, such as whitewater rafting abseiling and bungee jumping. I could not recommend this hostel more if you're staying in San Gil, don't even bother looking at other hostels and go to this one.

Such a nice place! The restaurant is really pretty, an the inner courtyard offers a great change from the hustle of the city and is very lovingly decorated. The service and the owner are also super friendly and very helpful (also with tips for san Gil or similar). I can only recommend it to anyone!

Amazing pizza, at a great price. Highly recommend eating here. Best pizza i’ve had in a long time! G&T was excellent too

Best Italian Pizza in Colombia! Really enjoyed the Pizza, atmosphere and service. Will be coming back tomorrow.

The place is very beautiful and perfectly located in the heart of San Gil. We were only in town for a couple of hours and the owner was super invested in making sure we had a great stay and even got a Taxi for us when we departed.

Very nice pizza - the chicken, mushroom and pesto one 🤌

Really good and affordable pizza! The Staff was so nice and we loved the atmosphere there:)

I made a complaint about the food and the restaurant manager just walked away without listening. Update: Later, when it was time to pay the bill, she was aggressive and shouted because she had read my review (the first paragraph above).

Cobos Horno Y Café is an absolute gem that made our mini-vacation in San Gil unforgettable! From the moment my wife and I stepped in, we were greeted with warmth and the irresistible aroma of freshly brewed coffee. The food? Nothing short of phenomenal—some of the most delicious breakfast dishes we’ve ever tasted! Every bite was a perfect blend of flavor and freshness, showcasing the care and passion put into their menu. The coffee was equally fantastic, elevating the entire experience to another level. If you’re in San Gil or planning a trip, this spot is a must-visit. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed by this culinary delight! Cobos Horno Y Café has earned a permanent spot on our list of favorites.

Super! They have a few cute balconies with a nice view on the street and the main square. The price is really reasonable and the food is really good! Their homemade juices are goid as well. The service is kind and arranging. recommend 100% You pay the same as in a bakery but get restaurant food & service!

We called in for lunch today and were blown away with the quality and taste of the food. It was so delicious, we will definitely be back! We got the carne bagel, sandwich pollo pesto, tostada francesa and two coffees for 52,000 🥰

Really nice atmosphere upstairs with several balcony seating options. The fresh juice was really good - the red velvet cake was ok but may not have been the freshest slice. Overall, a nice place for snacks and juices.

This became my favorite place when we stayed in San Gil! The bagels are delicious and so are the drinks! I think I ended up going there every day! Prices are extremely reasonable so very very good value for money! Beautiful ambience and friendly staff also! Highly recommended!!

The service was quick and friendly. The food was great. I enjoyed the Huevos Revueltos that included three scrambled eggs, fruit, and bread of your choice. I washed down all the goodness with a tasty café americano. I think I will come back for lunch later.

Delicious coffee, great omelettes and lovely staff. There are cute balconies upstairs. We will definitely be back!

Came here to watch the Colombia v Brasil Football Match and the vibe was really brilliant. Enjoyed my two half choice pizza. Base was thin. Good but not the best I have tried in Colombia.

Great restaurant ! 35000 cop for a very tasty pizza and honest quantity, the fresh juice was really nice and affordable ! The service girl assured a good customer service ! Would recommend ! Possible to pay by credit card ;)

The service here is incredible and it’s very suitable for vegan and vegetarians! We asked for vegan options and they were so accommodating. They already have a vegan pizza with tofu on the menu, but they could also do several of the pastas vegan. They even brought out a sample of the tomato sauce and some bread for me to taste while I was deciding.

Honestly one of the best pizza I had. The Hawaiian picante is Wow.

Delicious Italian food located inside near a bar. The food was excellent but service was a little slow. Prices were reasonable and after dinner there is a bar next door with lively music. I had the lasagna and highly recommend. Also good for large groups.

We loved it - Food is amazing and we like to point out the great service we experienced! It was very busy and the two girls were flying through the restaurant with a big smile. It was actually the best service we had in a restaurant in Colombia. 🧡

We had pasta here for dinner. Their homemade sauce is delicious although a bit runnier when compared to European standards. The service is very good as well.

(Translated by Google) We ordered Valencian rice and it was literally garbage food, I don't recommend buying there. Expensive and ugly (Original) Pedimos un arroz valenciano y literal fue una basura de comida, no recomiendo comprar ahí. Caro y feo

(Translated by Google) Super delicious. The attention, the flavors. (Original) Super delicioso. La atención, los sabores.

(Translated by Google) The food is delicious, however when we look at the family rice it seems like it is for two people. The average plate is 35,000 (Original) La comida es rica, sin embargo cuando revisamos el arroz familiar parece para dos personas. El promedio del plato es de 35.000

(Translated by Google) Everything is very nice, everyone is attentive to you and the food is very good for quality and price. (Original) Todo muy bonito,todos están pendientes de ti y la comida por calidad y precio muy buena

(Translated by Google) Very good dishes, good quality, prices according to the dishes available. Recommended place! (Original) Muy buenos platos, de buena calidad, precios acordé a los platos disponibles. Lugar recomendado!

(Translated by Google) Terrible, the service from the beginning is slow and they do not give clear information about the dishes, no matter what they order, they will receive rice with vegetables and 5 pieces of the protein they ordered, it does not justify the price for a portion of rice with vegetables. (Original) Pésimo, la atención desde el inicio es lenta y no dan información clara de los platos, sin importar lo que ordenen les va a llegar un arroz con verduras y 5 pedacitos de la proteína que pidieron, no justifica el precio para una porción de arroz con verduras.

(Translated by Google) It hurts the service, the food is good but the last two times I have visited the place the service is terrible... the lady always says that she has orders that I should wait to place the order. With the bad attitude in the service, I don't think I will return. (Original) Lastima la atención, la comida es buena pero las dos últimas veces que he visitado el lugar la atención es pésima..la señora siempre dice que está con pedidos que debo esperar para hacer el pedido. Con la mala actitud en la atención no creo volver.

Our experience at this restaurant was so terrible that we don’t even know where to begin. It all started with an extremely slow service. After finally placing our order, we had to wait 45 minutes for our food to arrive—only to be completely disappointed. The meat was dry, the steak was tough, and overall, the food was far from great. On top of that, the service was absolutely terrible. To make matters worse, when we went to pay, we were informed that paying by credit card would incur an additional 5% charge. When I questioned this, they claimed it was stated on the menu. Sure enough, it was there—in tiny, barely readable print. What frustrated us the most was the attitude of the person in charge. There was no apology, no attempt to make things right—just pure arrogance. Neither the food, the ambiance, nor the service was worth it. The management is awful, and we would never come back. Do yourself a favor and stay away from this place!

We went to the restaurant for dinner. The pasta was nice (squid ink), so were also the Guacamole Bruschetta. Unfortunately, the churrasco wasn't the best that we have had in Colombia (it was quite chewy, although we asked for it to be medium-rare) and for that it was a bit overpriced.

Nice layout and a pretty place to eat. 3 stars due to the ridiculous wine prices that are not clearly advertised on the menu (that is only available via QR code) a 94ml glass of house white wine was £3.50; to have the full 187ml bottle you had to pay for 2x glasses of wine. We ordered a carbonara and a cheeseburger, both were tasty but the pasta arrived cold and the burger was good quality but had no fries (not listed on the menu but expected for the price in keeping with other restaurants in the area). The waitress was lovely and attentive. Other restaurants in the area have a similar quality of food and certainly drinks for a better price.

food was excellent, great service and atmosphere. Totally worth it.

4.5 stars! Service was perfect door to door. Ambience was perfect - wonderful setting with nice background music. The dish i ordered (see below) would have been perfect had it not been served with sweet supermarket bread. What's the chef/owner thinking? Confused as to why the milkshakes cost as much as some of the cocktails. 🤔 DISH ORDERED: Fettucinni of the house🌟 $27,000 Artisanal pasta of the house with sauce made from bacon, ham, paprika, broccoli, milk, cream, spice balance and notes of cinnamon, accompanied by French toast, parmesan and organic parsley.

Beautiful place, amazing atmosphere. Service can improve. Not a good option for vegan people.

Food was good and was on time, service regular, you will be charged for extra fee if you pay with card, it's better if the product has the whole price with the addition of transaction fee for avoiding disgusting experiences, and they refused to bring water to your table trying to sell bottles of water and saying sink water is not drinkable 😕, and there are not good veggie options. Good place, useful for Instagram photos, but I would recommend other options in town if you prefer service over photos. Additional: No physical menu, they offer WiFi connection. I am old school person, so I would have preferred touch quality menu, in order to have the whole experience.
