Immerse yourself in the unspoiled natural beauty of Colombia’s ‘coffee triangle’ with a stay at the charming Hacienda Bambusa. Located at the heart of a 500-acre working farm, this tranquil eight-bedroom country ranch is the perfect backdrop to a relaxing rural getaway.
Leave the stresses and worries of the modern world behind – at Hacienda Bambusa a slower pace of life comes easy, with guests ensconced in a peaceful pastoral setting where the only noise to be heard comes from swaying palms and colorful songbirds.
This vibrant eight-bedroom hotel is housed within a traditional Colombian finca (ranch house) that’s been lovingly modernized by the owners, which happen to be the family of Colombian Formula One superstar Juan Pablo Montoya. Named individually for one of the 127 species of bird found in the area, the guest accommodations are spacious and modern, with amenities like air conditioning, flatscreen TVs and complimentary Wi-Fi. The bathrooms are a particular highlight, featuring gorgeous tiling and L’Occitane amenities.
Despite their beauty and generous size, you won’t want to linger in your room too long at Hacienda Bambusa. There’s a wealth of activities and experiences to savor. Start with the guided Cacao Walking Tour, in which a guide takes you through the rows of cacao, avocado and bamboo plants. Don’t be surprised if a sloth, red howler monkey or night monkey stops by to say hello while you’re doing the rounds. Other nearby activities include hot-air ballooning, coffee farm tours, bird watching and horseback riding. For those seeking a slower pace, kick back and relax at the Hacienda’s outdoor pool and shaded terrace. Book a hand or foot massage and enjoy a drink from the honor bar.
Speaking of food and drink, rates at Hacienda Bambusa are inclusive of breakfast and dinner, which are both served al fresco when weather permits. Breakfast consists of a daily buffet featuring freshly baked breads and Colombian coffee (naturally), while dinner features mouth watering salads or a juicy cut fresh off the BBQ.
