Rivabella is a natural and healing refuge in the heart of Boyacá, nestled in the mountains of the Tenza Valley.

 
 
 

In Guateque, on the banks of the Súnuba River, where simplicity becomes sacred, calm flows like water, time stands still, and nature embraces.

 
 

Rivabella is pause. It is water. It is soul...

Rivabella es un lugar lleno de historia y gratitud. Nació de un legado de amor. Esta tierra fue habitada por una mujer soñadora, visionaria, generosa y fuerte, y en cada piedra, árbol y rincón se siente su presencia.

Today, this lovingly restored rural space honors his memory and welcomes all those seeking a break, a rebirth, or simply pure nature. It's a place for those who need to disconnect from the noise, gaze at the sky, listen to the river, and remember that being alive is a gift. Rivabella is a place to unwind, return to the heart, and experience life from its essence. Because simplicity is powerful, and nature is sacred.

A hidden gem among the mountains.
