Welcome to Equilibrium
Refined Cabin · Up to 4 Guests · Jericó, Antioquia · 2,050 m
Equilibrium is a boutique nature reserve nestled in the cloud forests above Jericó, Antioquia, at 2,050 m on the edge of a private reserve home to waterfalls, hiking trails, vegetable gardens, and 84+ recorded bird species.
We built this place around a simple idea: that the best travel experiences come from slowing down, connecting with nature, and feeling genuinely at home. Josie lives on site and is always close by. Diego, our groundskeeper, tends the gardens and cares for the birds each morning. Organic vegetables grow throughout the property all free for guests to take.
For anything at all, reach us on WhatsApp: +57 313 681 3533 or email info.equilibriumjerico@gmail.com. We're always close by.

Getting Here
Directions · Access · WiFi · Security
Green: way from Medellín · Orange: by car from main park · Red: walking from main park
Your gate access code and cabin door code will be provided to you after your digital check-in is complete.
Once you arrive at your cabin, enter your cabin door code and turn the dial to open the door.
WiFi Network: Equilibrium password provided after digital check-in.
Once inside, locate the mini carriel bag on the kitchen counter it contains the BFT gate remote. Keep this on you whenever leaving the property. Press the top left button on the remote to open and close the entrance gate.
If you forget the carriel, you can let yourself out by pressing the button under the black box on the right side of the gate as you exit. Please let us know so we can close the gate after you. We keep the gate closed at all times especially from 4PM to 6AM and all day Saturday and Sunday.
Once in town, turn right on Calle 5 look for the "Parqueadero" sign. At the end of the road turn right and you will see our entrance gate. Park in the space next to your cabin.
After the gate there is a short, steep (~25°) paved road. Fine for ~90% of vehicles but slippery when wet. If in doubt, park at the lot next to the entrance gate.
Take the bus via Bolombolo from Terminal del Sur, Medellín (~2.5–3 hrs). Ask the driver to stop at Montaña Parrilla Burger. Walk to the end of Calle 5 entrance on the right.
A private taxi or van is highly recommended only ~$2 more than the bus and much more comfortable. Cost: ~44,000 COP (~$11 USD). We can help coordinate.
Note: tuk-tuks are not powerful enough to make it up the hill to the property. If getting back from the main square, we recommend taking a newer taxi.
Cameras are located at the entrance gate, lower cabin, and upper parking lot monitored for your safety.
