What glamping near Bogotá usually means
Glamping around Bogotá usually means a dome, a tent on a wooden platform, or a small cabin with a real bed. Most sites are outside the town centers, and breakfast is listed at many of them.
The names don't always tell you which one you get. Glamping Vista Lago Guatavita, for example, is listed as a cabin. Check the photos and the room type before you book, and ask whether the bathroom is private.
All distances on this page are measured in a straight line from central Bogotá, as the crow flies. The road is always longer, and leaving the city can take a large share of your day on a Friday afternoon.
Glamping regions near Bogotá compared
Three regions around the city hold most of the glamping and cabins we list. A fourth, the lower towns to the west, is the choice if you want warmth instead of fresh mountain air.
| Region | Straight-line distance from central Bogotá | What you find | Good for |
|---|---|---|---|
| La Calera | About 15 km (9 miles) | Glamping on the hills east of the city | One night away without a long drive |
| Choachí | About 22 to 25 km | Lodges, cabins, and guesthouses in the valley beyond the eastern hills | Hiking, hot tubs, quiet weekends |
| Guatavita and the lakes | About 39 to 45 km | The largest group of glamping sites and cabins we list | Lake views, couples, pets |
| Sabana North (Chía, Cajicá, Zipaquirá) | About 25 to 43 km | Country hotels rather than tents | Comfort with countryside around you, the Salt Cathedral |
| Warm towns to the west | About 42 to 53 km | Glamping and cabins with pools | Escaping the cold |
Guatavita and the lakes: the most choice
Guatavita sits northeast of Bogotá on the Tominé reservoir, and the town is the base for visits to the Guatavita lagoon. The glamping sites with the most guest reviews that we list near Bogotá are here.
Glamping Vista Lago Guatavita has a guest rating of 8.8/10 from more than 600 reviews and is about 42 km (26 miles) from central Bogotá. Parking, family rooms, and breakfast are listed, and pets are allowed.
El Alpino Cabaña & Glamping is about 41 km away, with a guest rating of 9.4/10 from more than 400 reviews. It lists parking, family rooms, and breakfast, and it also allows pets.
Glamping La Villa has a guest rating of 9.7/10 from more than 200 reviews. An airport shuttle is listed, along with parking and breakfast.
Cabañas el mirador del tomine (the name means "Tominé viewpoint cabins") is the closest of the four, about 39 km away. It lists a restaurant and family rooms, with a guest rating of 8.9/10 from more than 300 reviews.
Golden Glamping & Suites, about 45 km away, carries glamping in its name but is listed as a hotel. It has a guest rating of 9.3/10 from more than 200 reviews. See all options on our Guatavita and lakes page.
Book it if: you want a lake view and plan to visit the lagoon. Skip it if: you have one free evening; the drive both ways takes a big bite out of a short trip.
La Calera and Choachí: closest to the city
La Calera lies just over the eastern hills from Bogotá, and Choachí is further on, in a valley on the other side. For a single night away, this is the shortest trip to a glamping site that we list.
Glamping Paraiso en La montaña in La Calera is about 15 km from central Bogotá and about 11 km from Zona T. It lists breakfast, a restaurant, and parking, and an airport shuttle is listed. Its guest rating is 8.6/10 from more than 100 reviews.
Cúspide Lodge in Choachí, about 22 km from central Bogotá, has a guest rating of 9.6/10 from more than 200 reviews. It lists a spa, a hot tub, a restaurant, and family rooms.
Cabaña Campestre Miraluna (campestre means "country-style") is about 25 km away and rated 9.4/10 from more than 100 reviews. Refugio Explora Verde has a kitchen and a guest rating of 9.6/10 from 83 reviews. Glamping Shalom lists a hot tub, a restaurant, and a 24-hour front desk, with a guest rating of 8.6/10 from 77 reviews.
All five list parking and allow pets. Compare them on our La Calera and Choachí page.
Sabana North: country hotels instead of tents
The towns north of Bogotá on the Sabana, the high plain around the city, are Chía, Cajicá, and Zipaquirá. Here you trade a dome for a country hotel, and parking is listed at most of them.
Hotel Campestre Villa Juliana in Chía is about 26 km from central Bogotá, with a kitchen, a gym, and a 24-hour front desk. Its guest rating is 8.6/10 from more than 300 reviews.
Hotel Sabana Park in Cajicá is a 5-star hotel about 29 km away, with a spa and a restaurant. In Zipaquirá, Hotel Camino de la Sal is rated 9.6/10 from more than 300 reviews and lists breakfast and family rooms.
The rest of the region is on our Sabana North page. For the Salt Cathedral, read our guide to day trips from Bogotá.
Warmer glamping to the west
West of Bogotá the road drops to lower, warmer towns such as La Vega, San Francisco, and Anapoima. Several of the glamping sites and cabins we list there have a pool instead of a stack of blankets.
Villas del Rio Glamping in San Francisco, about 42 km from central Bogotá, lists a hot tub, a sauna, and a restaurant. Glamping Reserva del Roble in La Vega is about the same distance and lists family rooms and a restaurant.
Ecohotel Monteverde in La Vega, about 49 km away, lists a pool and breakfast, with a guest rating of 9.1/10 from more than 400 reviews. Glamping Paraíso Escondido in Anapoima, about 53 km away, also lists a pool.
More options are on our warm weekend towns west of Bogotá page.
Cold nights and what to pack
Guatavita, La Calera, and the hills around Choachí are in the same highlands, and a dome or a tent holds less heat than a brick room. Ask the host what they provide: extra blankets, a heater, or a hot water bottle.
- A warm layer and a hat for the evening, even if the afternoon is sunny.
- A rain jacket; showers are common in the Andes around Bogotá.
- Shoes with grip for wet grass and farm paths.
- Cash for small purchases in the villages.
How to choose a glamping site near Bogotá
Glamping sites differ more than hotels do, so a few questions save surprises. Ask them before you pay.
- Private or shared bathroom? Some domes have a bathroom inside, others a separate block.
- How is the dome or tent heated? A heater, a fireplace, or extra blankets each make a different night.
- Hot water around the clock? Ask, especially for outdoor showers and hot tubs.
- How is the last stretch reached? A low car and a steep, wet track are a poor match.
- Is there food on site? A restaurant is listed at some sites, such as Cúspide Lodge and Glamping Shalom; at others you bring your own.
Getting there with or without a car
Parking is listed at most of the glamping sites on this page, so a rental car is the easiest way to reach them. Our guide to driving in Bogotá explains pico y placa and parking.
Without a car, ask the host how the last stretch is reached and whether they can arrange a pickup. An airport shuttle is listed at Glamping La Villa, Cúspide Lodge, and Glamping Paraiso en La montaña.
Our places to stay around Bogotá page covers all of them, including Fusagasugá to the southwest.
