Glamping Close to Choachi

First, to learn how to get to Choachi, you can read this post!

Refugio Explora Verde

This is a hostel that also happens to have some Swiss style cabins. The cabins look comfortable and warm, but they don’t have much space except for sleeping. The whole hostel is rustic Colombian style (everything is made of brick). One of the best things they have is an elevated net between the trees where you can appreciate the scenery.

Colombia Mountain Tours

This is a large, but covered dome, that’s very accessible because it’s close to the road. It’s just off the main road to Choachi towards Parque Aventura La Chorrera. It looks big, has lots of living space and includes a very nice kitchen. It has a view towards La Chorrera, but from very far away.

Glamping Bonaire

This site has a dome and a normal rectangular room, both of which are well apart, and both have a whole lot of transparent walls and windows. The dome has a Jacuzzi, but I think the room looks nicer, so deciding where to stay might be tough. The view from Glamping Bonaire is beautiful. This destination is kind of far from Bogota, beyond Fómeque.

Glamping Fomeque Valto

This place looks elegant and beautiful, although I would say it’s a bit too manicured for my taste. I prefer glamping sites made of wood that blend in well with the nature around it. This one is designed slightly differently and even has a small fence around the glamping. It does have an incredible view, though, and a jacuzzi. I know people will love this place.

El Cielo Glamping

This glamping consists of several large wooden Swiss style cabins, VERY nice. It’s located near Cáqueza. It also has a jacuzzi, and the view from the cabin’s extended platform and the bed itself is amazing. Because of the area’s classic weather, it can be sunny or cloudy at dawn – both have their magic vibe.

La Granja Tacuara

This is where the glamping close to Choachi starts getting crazy! Here, you get a spectacular view of the mountains. The cabins are SO nice, all made of lots of wood and with big windows, and it feels very deep into nature. It has hot tubs, elevated nets and places to make campfires. The only problem is that it’s quite far from Bogota, beyond Cáqueza. But I would say it’s worth the trip.

Glamping Cúspide

This glamping is beautiful, rustic (lots of wood) and elegant. Of all the photos of glamping in Choachi I have seen, I think it has the most beautiful view. Also, it is VERY close to Choachi. It has domes and Swiss style cabins, and I liked them because they look spacious, so you can spend time at the lodge, not just sleeping.

Monte Luna Glamping

I think this glamping close to Choachi is the one we would go to first. And I’ll tell you why: there’s only a single dome on the property, and it overlooks the highest waterfall in Colombia – La Chorrera. The dome looks gorgeous, and it’s more spacious than many of the ones I’ve seen because it has some extensions on the sides.

Horeb Glamping

This place looks like the perfect glamping site, and it has a spectacular view. It’s almost next to Choachi, but very high up on the mountain. The coolest thing about it is that you can wake up above the clouds. They have domes here, and, of all the domes I saw, I liked these the most because they have a ton of windows for gazing at the sky and the gorgeous landscape. The only thing I would change about the site is have more trees.

Well, now it’s time to save up to be able to go to one of these sites for glamping close to Choachi! I’m hoping to go with Lala soon… maybe for an anniversary, but don’t tell her anything!

Where to Go Glamping Close to Bogota

glamping close to bogota, where to, cheapest to most expensive

I did the research so you don’t have to. Also, I did the research because I’m looking for a place to go glamping for our honeymoon! We figured it would be nice to lay low and relax a little before traveling, and some glamorous camping fit nicely. Glamping seems to be getting extremely popular, and lots of places have sprung up in Colombia where you can glamp (is that even a word?). So here’s a list to help you choose where to glamp close to Bogota! I’ve arranged them from cheapest to most expensive (-$- to -$$$$$-), but you can be sure these are all the best spots for glamping close to Bogota at each of their price ranges.

Where to go Glamping Close to Bogota

(from cheapest to most expensive)

1. Glamping La Finca – $

Glamping La Finca isn’t quite as close to Bogota as others (about 3 hours), but it’s quite nice for its price. I would say the only thing I don’t love about the place is that the tents are lined up side by side like suburb houses. Each one of them has a hot tub, though, and they look super cozy. On top of everything, if you stay here, you’re in Villa de Leyva, which is one of Colombia’s coolest towns. There’s a ton to do. From eating at great restaurants to sweating outdoors – it’s got it all. Glamping La Finca’s prices range from $200,000 Colombian pesos (about $65 USD) to $320,000 pesos (about $100 USD) per night for 2 people depending on the day of the week and time of year.

2. Bajo el Cielo Glamping – $$

High in the mountains of Colombia, this glamping hostal is close to Guatavita, looking over the Tomine Dam. Their domes are spacious, minimalistic and well-designed, and their areas have everything you need for comfort. Their standard domes with private bathrooms and outdoor space cost $280,000 pesos a night for 2 people (about $87.5 USD). The domes with a Jacuzzi cost $380,000 a night (about $120 USD). These prices include breakfast, and they increase by $100,000 pesos on the weekends. Being close to Guatavita, there’s also lots to do around the area, such as hiking, town visits and even helicopter rides! Bajo el Cielo Glamping is only an hour and a half from Bogota.

3. Glamping Colombia in Guatavita – $$

This place is also close to the beautiful town of Guatavita, an hour and a half from Bogota. Each one of their glamping areas has a wooden platform, a dome with a view of the dam below, and a private bathroom. The domes are nice and spacious. Its location gives you lots to do while you’re there: you can visit lakes, hike, do outdoor sports and go for a helicopter ride. It costs $360,000 Colombian pesos for two people per night (about $110 USD) and that includes no meals. I’m also not completely sure how their prices change during weekends or the high season. I can’t speak for their customer service, but their online, pre-glamping customer service is pretty bad.

4. Niddo Suesca – $$$

Only an hour from Bogota, we’ve heard a lot about Niddo because it’s close to Colombia’s most popular climbing area. Its tents look extremely warm and homely, and are well-designed and spacious. Of all the glamping close to Bogota I’ve researched, it also looks like the most romantic spot for glamping close to Bogota. The tents are nice and far apart, although not as much as I’d like (you don’t feel as much in the middle of nowhere). The cheapest I found was the smaller Niddo at $233,000 (about $72 USD) and the most expensive was the large Niddo at $490,000 (about $150 USD). These prices are per night for two people and don’t include any food. The prices do vary depending on the day of the week and time of the year.

5. La Villa Suiza – $$$

High in the mountains, this “Swiss Village” (the name, translated) looks over one of our favorite camping areas – the Neusa Dam. I’m not exactly sure if it counts as glamping because what they have is some wonderful chalets, but they look so warm and inviting that I had to include them on this list. They have standard chalets and deluxe chalets. Their prices range from at least $350,000 pesos (about $110 USD) to $450,000 pesos (about $140 USD) for two people per night depending on the day of the week and the type of chalet you’d like to experience. If you want one with a hot tub, though, the price spikes up to $550,000 pesos!

6. Kingdome Glamping – $$$

As you may have deduced from this place’s name, they have glamping in domes. What this place boasts is their 2-story domes with internal, private hot tubs. Their spaces are big and beautifully decorated, surrounded by woods. Like 2 other places for glamping close to Bogota, this one is in Guatavita, so there’s lots to do other than glamping as well. Their 2-story domes with hot tubs cost $450,000 pesos (about $140 USD) and their standard dome costs $400,000 pesos (about $125 USD) per night for two people.

7. Terramaga Glamping – $$$$

Terramaga is located in the town of San Francisco, about an hour and a half from Bogota. This place looks like a near-perfect glamping spot – each space is nice and isolated, everything is in the woods, and some of the glamps are even right by a river. It looks super romantic and outdoorsy. That being said, it is one of the most expensive because of how great it is. Each space costs $480,000 pesos (about $150 USD) during low season and $550,000 pesos (about $170 USD) during high season per night for 2 people. They book on AirBnB.

8. Yuva Glamping – $$$$$

Yuva Glamping is probably the most expensive glamping spot close to Bogota, but also one of the most amazing I found. Each dome’s individual area is huge and nicely far apart. One of them (maybe more) is right by the river, and I can just imagine falling asleep to its gentle lull. Also, all of the glamping areas have Jacuzzis. It’s about an hour and a half from Bogota in the town of San Francisco. Two of their glamping spaces cost $530,000 pesos (about $165 USD) per night for two people and the other two cost $630,000 pesos (about $200 USD). Those prices include breakfast and they increase by $100,000 pesos during the high season.

Well, that’s that for the best places to go glamping close to Bogota! I hope this list helps you narrow down your options for a super fun experience.
