Glamping is supposed to be a special experience, with unique design concepts, an array of amenities, and scenic locations. In Colombia, there are countless glamping sites that help introduce visitors and residents alike to the country’s most magical landscapes. This can come with a pretty high price tag, though, comparable to what you’d expect from a top-notch hotel. The truth is that if you compare glamping with camping, glamping comes out ahead almost every time, except where the price is concerned. However, this doesn’t mean that you have to pay the big bucks in order to have a memorable glamping trip. There’s also plenty of affordable glamping in Colombia; you just have to know where to look.
