Discover Nueva Colombia District

Nueva Colombia District combines the quiet character of a small town with green valleys and diverse local production. Quarries, agriculture and Granja Mbuni offer different ways to experience the destination: through the building stone piedra loza, through the crops grown here, or through guided encounters with farm animals. When planning your holiday, it is worth considering not only your accommodation but also the pace you want for your days. Would you mainly like to experience the landscape, learn about local materials or plan a visit with animals?

Green valleys and a quiet small-town character

Nueva Colombia is a quiet town surrounded by green valleys. The landscape is therefore part of the town’s character in its own right, not just a backdrop for individual activities. If you enjoy spending time in nature, you can take this character into account when choosing your destination. It offers a different focus from the specific activities at Granja Mbuni: the landscape and planned activities can be considered as distinct priorities when planning your trip.

Quarries and piedra loza

Among the area’s distinctive features are the quarries where piedra loza is extracted. The stone is highly valued in building construction. This creates a direct link between extracting the material and using it in construction. If you are interested in building materials, craftsmanship or the origins of the materials used, this offers a special way to engage with the area’s character. This topic adds an economic and material dimension to the impression of the green valleys, without reducing a holiday here to landscape or leisure activities alone.

Agriculture with a wide range of crops

The agricultural profile includes corn, cotton, cassava, sugar cane, tobacco, beans, yerba mate, coffee, citrus fruits and grapevines. The range extends from field crops to citrus and grapevines. The diverse agricultural sector supplies a large share of the capital’s markets. This is a notable aspect of Nueva Colombia: alongside the landscape and quarries, agricultural production is also part of the destination’s character. If you enjoy getting to know different sides of a place, this profile offers another point of interest for your trip.

Guided tours and dining at Granja Mbuni

Granja Mbuni offers guided tours. Visitors can meet ostriches, rheas and other farm animals. For families looking to include animal encounters in their holiday plans, this is a specific activity to consider. Arrange your visit in advance with the operator.

Granja Mbuni is also home to the El Massai restaurant. Its menu includes dishes made with ostrich meat, offering a distinct culinary experience alongside the tour. Before visiting, check whether the restaurant is currently open and serving guests. When choosing activities, you can consider animal encounters and local cuisine separately: the tour focuses on the farm animals, while the menu features a distinctive ingredient. Both offerings are at Granja Mbuni, but be sure to check the relevant arrangements and services for each one according to your plans.

Find the right holiday rental for your plans

When looking for a holiday rental in Nueva Colombia, you can start by deciding which aspect of the area you want to shape your stay: the green valleys, your interest in piedra loza and agriculture, or a planned visit to Granja Mbuni. If the guided tour is a fixed part of your plans, confirm the arrangements with the operator; if you would like to dine at El Massai, check whether the restaurant is currently open and serving guests. This helps you distinguish between the area’s enduring features and the specific visits you may want to arrange for your trip.
