Finca El Maco

René has created the wonderful ecological Finca El Maco for those budget travelers who want to stay in fresh country air, eat excellent pizza and relax while checking out all San Agustín has. Creative lodging choices—how about a night in a tipi with a fire pit?—adds to your adventure in this mysterious world. For a little splurge, have a massage to ease your muscles after a day of hiking or horse riding. Try the organic dairy products made right on the farm. All is run with the attention for which the Swiss are renowned. Spanish, English, German and Italian are spoken.
