Andoke is a magical place in the mountains of Cali, Colombia! It is very close to San Antonio, but it still gives you the feeling of escaping the city. I reserved lunch for my partner and me on the terrace of the butterfly sanctuary, and it was definitely worth it. We had a delicious farm-to-table lunch while butterflies flew all around us. We then decided to stay overnight in their eco-cabins, and it was beautiful to be surrounded by nature. Definitely recommended!
Very nice the experience informational taught kids a lot
A beautiful experience with family! Our grandkids loved it. We did the full experience, learn, view and release. Additionally, made pandebono and lulada.
