Natural areas and flavors of Pamplona

BY Giselle Rivera / Jul 27, 2023

To be reborn in the environment is to enjoy a tour in the garden of Hotel Cariongo.

Like the great modern architectures, Hotel Cariongo offers its visitors a building that respects and lives in harmony with nature.

An extensive and lively garden rests inside the legendary Hotel, a place for the enjoyment and tranquility that only natural areas offer and that in Hotel Cariongo is impregnated by the amount of flowers, trees and herbal essences that are harvested and cultivated within the majestic space.

Variety of flowers cultivated and cared with the most pretentious detail, make the garden one of the most beautiful and pleasant areas for tourists, because they are those who ensure that the Duranta, the plant that runs the entire length of the garden seems to take control of the shapes and colors that deliver the roses, carnations, astromelias, guineas veraneras, daisies and each of the species that are part of the harmonious landscape that is chained with the vast mountain range that covers the city.  

Flowers such as the so-called "boyfriends", for being the promoters of beautiful moments between couples, or the "doggies" for amusing children with their canine shape, are scattered among the Pines, Eugenia, Palms, Siete Cueros and Alcacio Morado, which are the trees that enliven and give freshness to the atmosphere of this mythical hotel.

The beauty of the garden has served as inspiration for readers and decipherers and even for those who want a space for reflection and vitality coming from nature. This wonderful place has places suitable for walking, such as the stone path that connects the building or the spaces suitable for sitting and observing the beautiful panorama.

This place full of ecological joy, besides giving a springtime sensation, serves as a light bearer, since Hotel Cariongo has ample spaces that allow you to observe from balconies and large windows the beauty of the variety of flora and fauna that is reborn thanks to the green of the garden.

Two varied vegetable gardens are also part of the natural extension inside the hotel, where vegetables and medicinal herbs are grown organically and used in the kitchen to prepare the most exquisite creams and typical dishes of the region.

Lettuce, carrots, cabbage, chard, spinach, ajopollo, cilantro, parsley and many others are part of the vegetables that are carefully harvested in the garden and then delivered to the chef so that he can use them to season each of the dishes offered by the Chitarero Restaurant.

Aromatic herbs are also used to prepare the most delicious teas, offered to guests for their healing and relaxing properties. A great variety of aromatic herbs can be found in the garden of Hotel Cariongo, where you can find mint, marjoram, lemon balm, cinnamon and cider, each with a property ranging from its pleasant aroma to the state of relaxation it produces.
