Glamping Lumbre, Colombia

Glamping Lumbre is a sanctuary where nature, comfort, and sustainability meet in the heart of Colombia’s Cocora Valley. 

Surrounded by the world’s tallest wax palm trees and lush Andean forests, this retreat offers guests the rare opportunity to immerse themselves in one of the most breathtaking landscapes on Earth while enjoying the luxury of thoughtfully designed glamping suites.

Each suite is crafted to bring the outdoors in, with panoramic windows and private terraces that open to sweeping views of the valley. Guests wake to birdsong, wander along a private waterfall trail, and close their evenings gathered around the fire beneath a sky filled with stars.

Sustainability lies at the heart of everything that’s being done at Lumbre: Single-use plastics are avoided, ingredients and materials are sourced locally, and the fragile ecosystems of Cocora are carefully protected.

More than a stay, Glamping Lumbre offers a conscious journey—an invitation to reconnect with nature, slow down, and experience the profound beauty of Colombia’s coffee region.

What is special about Lumbre Glamping?

What sets Glamping Lumbre apart is its extraordinary location in the Cocora Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of Colombia’s most iconic natural treasures. Nestled between cloud forests and towering wax palms – the tallest palm species in the world – this retreat offers the rare privilege of waking up inside a living postcard.

Unlike traditional hotels, Lumbre blends refined comfort with a deep immersion in nature. Each exclusive suite offers privacy and intimacy, complete with a personal fire pit, spa-inspired showers, and terraces that frame the valley’s majestic scenery. From these secluded spaces, guests may spot hummingbirds flitting among orchids or catch sight of a condor soaring overhead.

Yet Lumbre is more than comfort in the wild—it is a conscious retreat. Guided by a philosophy of celebrating Cocora’s beauty while safeguarding it, the team partners with local communities, supports reforestation initiatives, and embraces sustainable practices to minimise environmental impact.

Every detail at Glamping Lumbre is thoughtfully designed to foster serenity, intimacy, and respect for the land.

What unique features are incorporated in Lumbre Glamping?

Glamping Lumbre was created with sustainability at its core, making it an ideal choice for conscious travellers. Every element is designed to preserve the natural balance of the Cocora Valley while providing comfort and exclusivity.

Single-use plastics are avoided, biodegradable amenities are provided, and local sourcing is prioritised in both gastronomy and décor. A private waterfall trail encourages low-impact exploration, while energy and water consumption are carefully managed to reduce the ecological footprint. The architecture itself embraces natural materials, blending seamlessly with the surrounding forest and ensuring minimal disturbance to the ecosystem.

Beyond infrastructure, the commitment extends to community and conservation. Local farmers, artisans, and guides are supported, creating opportunities within Salento while celebrating the cultural traditions of Colombia’s coffee region. Environmental education and reforestation efforts—particularly those dedicated to protecting the endangered wax palm tree—form an integral part of Lumbre’s mission.

For travellers who value authenticity, sustainability, and a deeper connection to place, Glamping Lumbre offers more than a stay. It provides the chance to take part in a movement that honours and protects one of the world’s most beautiful landscapes.

What activities are being offered at Lumbre Glamping?

Every activity at Glamping Lumbre is designed to connect guests with the natural and cultural richness of the Cocora Valley. 

Within the private reserve, a scenic trail leads to two hidden waterfalls, where a crystal-clear pool offers the perfect spot for a refreshing swim. Birdwatching enthusiasts can marvel at hummingbirds, toucans, and even the majestic Andean condor.

For those drawn to Colombia’s coffee heritage, guided tours of nearby farms reveal the art of cultivation, harvesting, and tasting. Adventurers can also hike through Cocora’s legendary wax palm forest, experiencing one of South America’s most iconic landscapes firsthand.

Back at Lumbre, relaxation takes centre stage. Guests may indulge in a massage, unwind in a steam room infused with eucalyptus leaves, or immerse themselves in a traditional Japanese ofuro bath. Evenings invite moments of intimacy—whether through a romantic dinner beneath the stars or quiet reflection beside a private fire pit.

Each experience blends adventure with mindfulness, ensuring that time at Lumbre is not only about savouring Cocora’s beauty but also about fostering a deeper appreciation of its fragility and the importance of sustainable travel.

Beautiful spot surrounded by nature

“The tents are comfortable and well-equipped, and everything was clean and organised. Breakfast was fresh and tasty. It’s a great place to relax and disconnect for a bit. Would definitely come back.”

World-class with beautiful views of the mountain

“We loved our stay. Much quieter and peaceful than staying in Salento. The owners were very friendly and accommodating. The bungalow was world-class with beautiful views of the mountain and sky through a glass ceiling. A beautiful walk to a waterfall capped off a great stay.”

The beautiful Cocora Valley was picture-perfect and stunning

“We had a glorious 4-night stay at Lumbre Glamping. The staff, accommodations, food and amenities were absolutely wonderful and unforgettable. The beautiful Cocora Valley was picture-perfect and stunning. Sol, the guide dog, was a favourite for our young boys, and they will remember her forever! Thank you so much for taking care of our family so well, and we are so grateful for our trip to Colombia!”
