Accommodation in Colombia: Finca Bambusa
Our Rating: Medium
Finca Bambusa
Zona Cafetera
This traditional finca in the heartland of Colombia’s coffee-producing region is already a firm Audley favourite.
Situated on a bluff overlooking a river valley in the province of Quindío, it is only half an hours drive from Armenia airport.
The home of the Montoya family, its interiors are brightly decorated with paintings by artist Santiago Montoya, while the finca’s construction uses the local ‘guadua’ bamboo to charming effect.
Activities include horse rides and nature walks. Birdlife on the finca’s grounds is abundant, and three viewing platforms have been built among the guadua trees for a close-up perspective from the forest canopy.
Each of the eight rooms at the finca is simply but attractively decorated, several of them with balconies overlooking the pool. Food is locally sourced and cooked on the premises to a high standard.
