Hi Hannah!
What a fantastic review! Casa Kayam sounds like an absolutely lovely place. I have been doing some research for my future travels to Colombia and I will definitely be adding this place to my list. It’s totally my style!

Thanks Brittany! That’s great to hear! It is a really lovely, relaxed place. It is quiet and the sort of place you’ll want to stay for a week! And Guatape town is really cute!

It definitely looks like it is. I’ve seen some photos of Guatape and it looks like a very colourful and charming place as well.
