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 is a place steeped in history and gratitude. It was born from a legacy of love. This land was inhabited by a dreamy, visionary, generous, and strong woman, and her presence can be felt in every stone, tree, and corner.

Today, this restored rural space honors her memory and welcomes all those seeking a pause, a rebirth, or simply pure nature. It is a refuge for those who need to disconnect from the noise, listen to the river, watch the sky, and remember that being alive is a gift.

A hidden gem among the mountains.

Rivabella is located in the heart of the Tenza Valley, Boyacá. Green landscapes, clear skies, and a cozy home that embraces calm and relaxation. Ideal for disconnecting from the hustle and bustle and reconnecting with yourself.
