Why choose your glamping in Ginebra

Ginebra is a small town in Valle del Cauca known for its local gastronomy. Prepare your stomach for a great and delicious sancocho – typical Colombian food, and other typical dishes. There you can also enjoy the Puente Piedra river which also has a waterfall of 8 meters, very visited by locals. The best budget glamping in this destination is Ginebra glamping.

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.

Why choose your glamping in Calima

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. In your glamping Adama Biohotel you will be able to enjoy this lake and its scenery. If you decide to go to town, it is about 20 minutes by car.

Palmira attracts attention with its tourist paths. You can visit spas, ecological reserves, adventure sports and visit its main square and churches. For a wonderful experience in Palmira, stay at Cristal House — 30 minutes from town by car.

Glamping Pet-friendly

You can stay with your pet at Bosque El Descanso, Los Pirineos and Calachorno. At Adama,Pets are also allowed if they are small in size and upon request.

Glamping for families

The best option for families is Los Pirineos because there are no age restrictions and it has the capacity to receive up to 11 people. Calochorno is an economical alternative, with an option for 4 people including children.

Conclusion: Best Cabins and Glamping Valle del Cauca
