Once you see Hotel sel Salto, the architecture and the ambiance will convince you that it is a haunted hotel Colombia.

Hotel sel Salto has been going into a transformation phase and is currently open on specific days, not as a haunted hotel Colombia but as a museum.  The entrance fee to access the museum is about $2, and a Spanish-speaking guide will direct you to the different rooms of the facility.  The building is enigmatic, to say the least.  It is sometimes foggy and covered with the swirling water from the falls.
