Unique Dining Experience at Lago Calima Restaurant
Mimicking the forest’s immunity, we produce the 60 organic foods served at our restaurant on Lago Calima (Colombia).
“Let food be thy medicine.” This maxim by Hippocrates inspires the community of farmers and neo-farmers at La Huerta Hotel, who operate our restaurant on Lago Calima.
We inspire you to eat for healing and disease prevention while enjoying the best company.
Every day, we harvest 60 organic foods from the agricultural production right in front of your table, offering you a burst of flavors rich in nutrients.
Our crops are at the heart of Colombia’s only Experiential Education Field School in regenerative lifestyle, uniquely integrated into a restaurant on Lago Calima.
Here, we show how agroecology and multi-impact gastronomy contribute to reversing diseases, enriching social fabric, strengthening the local economy, mitigating climate change, renewing ecosystems, and transforming overexploited tourist destinations.
We look forward to welcoming you soon at our restaurant on Lago Calima!
“Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.”
