Jamundí is a town known for its delicious cholado vallecaucano, so don’t leave without trying it. It is also known for its spas, although if your glamping has a lake or pool, I don’t find it very interesting to go. If you decide to visit Jamundí and you like history take a walk through its archaeological museum. The best glamping and cabin in Jamundí is Bosque El Descanso.

Calima is a beautiful municipality that stands out for the lake that bears the same name – Lago Calima. Many travelers come to sleep in cabins near the lake and do water sports.
