Hotel in San Gerardo de Dota
Located in San Gerardo de Dota, 19 km from Cerro de la Muerte, Lauraceas Lodge provides accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a restaurant and a bar. Spacious cabin with beautiful view out on to the trees, stream and hills. We didn't go anywhere else to eat in the 4 days and enjoyed every meal. The family who run the place and all of the other staff could not have been more friendly and helpful. The Lauraceas Garden, about 100m down the road, is very special and was created with care and love. We've never seen SO many beautiful birds, especially the humming birds -- they were just non-stop. Bring warm clothes: in the evening and first thing in the morning it can be very chilly up there in the mountains but during the day, once the sun had come up over the hills, we had glorious weather.
