Ritmo Del Rio is located in San Rafael, Antioquia — a tranquil agricultural town three hours to the east of Medellin. Sitting at 1000 meters, San Rafael has an incredible subtropical climate year-round, never becoming overwhelmingly hot or unpleasantly cold. With six crystal clear rivers, dozens of waterfalls, beautiful jungle treks, San Rafael is a tropical paradise. Ritmo Del Rio is a 15 minute drive outside the center of town, allowing for an escape from the hustle of a lively town while still remaining close enough to visit daily if need be. While quiet on most weekdays, the town of San Rafael comes to life on the weekends, as many campesinos come down from their farms on horseback for their weekly shopping and festivities.

Our project is set on a 40 acre jungle reserve in a tropical rainforest in the Colombian Andes.  Running through the property is a crystal clear river, el Macanal, where our guests can spend their days swimming and exploring the natural beauty of Colombia’s diverse tropical rainforests.

At Ritmo del Río, you can enjoy a true Farm-to-Table dining experience. The restaurant at Ritmo del Río offers a variety of options for our guests: with plates  highlighting traditional Colombian recipes, as well as a selection of international dishes, both using fresh ingredientes picked daily from our farm or sourced locally in San Rafael- you will surely enjoy the culinary experience offered here at Ritmo del Río.
