¿Qué es el Glamping y por qué es tan popular en Colombia?

Descubre qué es el glamping, por qué se ha vuelto tan popular en Colombia y conoce Glamping Skyline Medellín, donde lujo, naturaleza y experiencias únicas como tina con hidrojets y catamarán privado se unen en un solo lugar.

¿Qué significa realmente Glamping?

La palabra glamping nace de la combinación de dos términos en inglés: glamour y camping. Esta fusión describe una tendencia de turismo que mezcla lo mejor del mundo natural con el confort y las comodidades del lujo.

Mientras que el camping tradicional implica carpas, sleeping bags y baños compartidos, el glamping ofrece:
• Camas king size y ropa de cama premium
• Baños privados
• Jacuzzis y tinas con hidromasaje
• Decoración de diseño y experiencias personalizadas

En pocas palabras: el glamping es acampar con estilo y confort de hotel cinco estrellas.

El auge del glamping en Colombia

En los últimos años, Colombia se ha convertido en un destino líder en glamping en Latinoamérica. Su diversidad de paisajes —selvas, montañas, ríos, playas y el Eje Cafetero— hacen del país un lugar ideal para esta nueva forma de turismo.

Algunas de las razones del boom del glamping en Colombia son:
• Turismo sostenible: menos impacto ambiental que un hotel tradicional.
• Experiencias únicas: dormir en la naturaleza sin sacrificar comodidad.
• Escapadas románticas: ideales para parejas y viajeros que buscan privacidad.
• Tendencia internacional: viajeros extranjeros buscan en Colombia destinos auténticos y de lujo accesible.

Hoy en día, ciudades y regiones como Guatavita, Villa de Leyva, el Amazonas, el Eje Cafetero y Medellín destacan como puntos clave del glamping en Colombia.

Medellín: A Cultural & Conscious Remote Work Destination

  1. The City of Eternal Spring & Natural Rhythm

Perched in the lush Aburrá Valley at 1,500 m above sea level, Medellín offers a spring-like climate all year round — perfect for balancing focus and well-being. Its time zone aligns with much of North America, making it ideal for remote work that flows easily across borders and hours.

  1. Work Well, Live Deeply — and Locally

Medellín is more than an affordable alternative to major cities — it’s a place where your presence can have a positive impact. Yes, the cost of living might stretch your budget further — but that affordability should be an opportunity to give back, not just save.

You can:
• Enjoy a local “menú del día” lunch for as little as $2, prepared fresh at family-run neighborhood restaurants.
• Choose to stay, eat, and shop in locally owned businesses instead of international chains.
• Explore beyond the typical digital nomad zones of El Poblado and Laureles — visit and support smaller comunas like Comuna 13, Buenos Aires, and Manrique, where vibrant art, music, and social change projects flourish.

By being intentional with where your money goes, you’re not just living in Medellín — you’re investing in it.

  1. A Remote Work Culture with Purpose

Medellín has become a magnet for global professionals, but with that visibility comes responsibility. Gentrification is real — and thoughtful travel matters. That’s why so many coworking spaces, cafés, and social ventures in the city are now focused on sustainability, inclusion, and positive local impact.
• Join coworking hubs like La Casa Redonda or Semilla, which host community events and support local initiatives.
• Volunteer with or support organizations which use art, music, and education to empower youth and neighborhoods.
• Attend events or workshops that are designed for mutual learning, not just networking.

The goal? Work remotely — but stay grounded in the place and people around you.

  1. Culture, Community & Real Connection

What makes Medellín shine isn’t just its weather or Wi-Fi — it’s the chance to connect with a vibrant culture in motion. From spontaneous salsa in the park to poetry nights in local bookstores, the city pulses with stories, resistance, and renewal.

And the international community here reflects that: many digital nomads are choosing Medellín not just to consume experiences, but to co-create. Join local initiatives, learn Spanish with a neighborhood teacher, or participate in community markets. The more you give, the more you’ll receive.

  1. Movement, Nature & Urban Regeneration

Medellín’s transformation over the past two decades has inspired cities around the world. It’s a model of mobility and inclusion — with a cable car system that connects remote hilltop neighborhoods to the city center, and green spaces that invite everyone in.

You’re never far from an escape into nature — from the forested trails of Parque Arví, to hillside farms in Santa Elena, or a Sunday ride on the city’s bike-friendly Ciclovía.

Skyline: Work With Purpose, Live With Presence

High above the city, Skyline offers a different pace. A space to breathe, focus, and reflect — with views that remind you of the bigger picture.

At Skyline, you can:
• Work in peaceful cabins or open decks, with Medellín below and the mountains above.
• Sip coffee roasted by local farmers, and learn their stories.
• Recharge in nature, then return with more clarity, creativity, and connection.

This is remote work with intention — where every choice, from where you sit to where you spend, helps shape a more just and beautiful Medellín
