Punta Casitas Cabin

Nestled amidst the rugged mountain ridges embracing Lake Tota at 3015 meters, Punta Casitas Cabin offers a unique retreat, seamlessly blending modernity with natural splendor. Designed as a sanctuary at the edge of semi-paramo vegetation, this cabin beckons those seeking a mystical connection to the environment.

Ascending a path, visitors encounter an intermediate level with a semi-covered space leading to a bathroom area. The journey unfolds through integrated social spaces, including a kitchen and dining area, culminating in a suspended terrace that blurs indoor and outdoor boundaries. The upper levels feature a tatami mat, a suspended desk, and a main room with expansive windows framing Lake Tota's panoramic beauty.
