The Spanish colonial city of Cartagena might get all the hype, but if you asked ActiveTravels<\/a> members who have visited Colombia, the majority would say the highlight of their trip was their time in Coffee Country. Take the 45-minute flight from Bogota to Armenia and you\u2019ll be picked up by your hosts from Hacienda Bambusa<\/a> for the 30-minute drive to their hidden oasis on a 500-acre farm. Drop your bags off in one of their 8 rooms and then go play. Take a stroll around the farm, go birding with a naturalist, visit a working cocoa farm, hike in a massive bamboo forest, go rafting, horseback riding, even hot air ballooning. Owners Olivier and Diego can arrange all activities and serve tasty authentic Colombian fare outside on a serene patio.<\/p>\n

They recently added another property to their expanding portfolio, Casa Yahri<\/a>, a private villa in the Colonial town of Barichara. Located in the mountains, a 4 \u00bd-hour drive from Bogota, Barichara is one of those towns straight out of a movie set, with narrow cobblestone streets, whitewashed buildings, and red-tiled roofs. It\u2019s the perfect place to unwind and roam the streets checking out all the local handicrafts the region is known for, like papermaking and ceramics. Nearby adventures include hiking, biking, canyoneering, and whitewater rafting. Afterwards, head back to one of the 4 suites and lounge in the infinity pool. Sounds pretty good right about now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
