The Cradle of the Moon, Rivendell

This place is heavenly. Not only is the location jaw droppingly beautiful but it immediately feels like home. The lady that runs the site is a great host and the dogs and cats are so friendly you never feel alone. It's a great base for hiking and Los Llanos is a pretty little town just down the road. And it's all so, so peaceful... there's no traffic noise, all you hear is the bees buzzing, the crickets chirping, the cockerel crowing and the odd squabble between the cats. There are a few concessions to be made; the toilets aren't the sort that flush and the shower has no roof (at least for those staying in tents) but everything is very clean and seeing the stars so bright as the bats flutter overhead while you take a shower is magical. If you're looking for an adventure or to get some peace and quiet, connect with nature or your inner 8 year old, this is the place. I absolutely love it and can't wait to get back for a longer stay.

That I can't live here permanently!

I loved everything - this place is truly special and I cannot rate it highly enough. It is in the middle of the mountains, an incredible place to go on hikes but also to relax, cook outside, shower outside, sleep outside, swim in the stunning natural pool - it is full of good energies and peacefulness. Allison made sure I was able to get a ride there and also back on the day I left and was really helpfull with everything. There are no words to describe how beautiful this place is, I would love to come back !

Nothing! If you don't have a car like me, just make sure you bring enough food for your stay!

Lugar espectacular para los que amamos la naturaleza, el lugar está lleno de encanto y animales para alegrarte la estancia. Rodeado por el valle las noches estrelladas son increíbles y el silencio hará que duermas como un bebé, siento como me he recargado de energía después de mi estancia. Alison y Alexis son encantadores y muy atentos, siempre pendientes de tus necesidades. En definitiva lo recomiendo 100%, el acceso es lo único que puede chocar un poco al principio ya que es algo complicado pero para mí era un punto a favor!

Location, nature, silence, animals, great energy, kind people.
