Cozy Accommodations

If you’re an outdoorsman or camping goddess then you know the beauty and tranquility of throwing down a sleeping bag and falling asleep to an orchestra of animal noises. But if you’re bringing your city-dwelling mate along with you, he or she may not be all that jazzed to rough it amongst the flora and fauna. So how do you solve the problem? Book cozy accommodations that are just as charming. Don’t think hotel chain, think cute cabin in the woods or a family owned farmhouse B&B. This way, you get creature comforts but will still get the feeling of being away from the city and also feel connected to nature and the culture by kicking it with the locals.

Need help on where to start? Reach out to your Colombian adventure tour guide and they’ll book you with the right accommodations. And if it’s your first time in Colombia, a great customizable adventure to consider is the Coffee and Mountains tour offered by Uncharted Colombia. With a tour in the Colombian Coffee Region you and your SO will be able to enjoy running water and comfortable beds in the evenings as well as getting up close and personal with mother nature during the day through custom day-trips in the surrounding regions.

Bring On The Culture

Say your guy or gal did a full day of hiking with you on the first day of your trip. How do you give both of yourselves a break while still enjoying Colombia? Easy. It’s time to please him or her and go shopping in the surrounding areas. For instance, the Colombian Coffee and Mountain region offers many local handicrafts and local businesses where you and your SO can go exploring. Remember, tasting local cuisine and grabbing trinkets for friends and family back home are also a huge part of traveling and adventuring for that matter. Reach out to your in-the-know guide and he or she will be able to set up a customized itinerary so that you and yours will explore the best and brightest in the region taking out all of the guess work. Score!

Still Need More Romantic Travel Ideas?

The coffee region in Colombia offers many customizable options that will cater to the perfect trip for you and your significant other. For instance, if you still want more rigorous activity, why not consider biking to nearby locations instead of taking a coach? Your less active partner will be able to ride in a car to the region and you can take a bike with your guide and meet your SO there. This way, both you and your partner will be happy and you’ll get to explore the new town/nature area together but you’ll get in extra activity to keep your adrenaline pumping.

Happy travels and remember, you really can have it all. You just need to customize your Colombian adventure trip with the right team with all the connections and everyone will have an experience they’ll remember forever.
