Lake glamping in Valle del Cauca

A listing marking a lake means the water is nearby, not always that you see it from bed. In Calima, the lake is the reservoir, surrounded by hotels, farms and recreation centers; there the difference is between those right on the water and those a few blocks back. In Buenaventura, the Glamping Sabaletas listing does not say which lake it is, so ask whether it is a pond on the property and whether you can swim. Two of the five add a jacuzzi and two a view.

All five are within Cali's radius, though in different directions:

• Toward Calima: 4 options around the reservoir, among them Glamping Las Rocas.
• Toward Buenaventura: 1, in the Sabaletas area.
• From Buga or Tuluá, Calima is also within reach, even though the list only counts Cali as a reference.

To reach any of them, ask which entrance to the reservoir or the road leads to the farm.

Ask whether the lake can be seen from the unit or from a common area, and how many steps away the shore is. If you plan to get in the water, ask whether it is allowed and whether there are kayaks or boats, because at a reservoir that depends on each property. At Calima Glamping and the safari tent that marks a pool, ask whether the pet can go down to the water area. And at the tiny house, ask how many people it is really for.
