The unequaled location of El Encanto isn’t a product of chance. The site was carefully chosen to offer our guests the best of the Maderas area within a maximum distance of 6 kilometers from the hotel. Finca Magdalena, Playa Santo Domingo, Peña Inculta Trail, Ojo de Agua, Istiam River and the crater lake of Maderas volcano are some of the most visited places and all within 6 kilometers of El Encanto. Another advantage of El Encanto is the elevation at which the hotel is located. Although we're only 30 meters above the coast, the breeze is constant here and the amount of insects considerably less than at the lake level. Less heat and less insects is always better! Lastly, our proximity to the roads to Balgue and Merida allow the traveler convenient access to both bus routes, facilitating travel to your next destination.
