Glamping with a fireplace in Quindío

In Quindío the fireplace appears in very different structures, and that changes the questions. In a safari tent, it is most likely a wood stove: ask how the smoke exits and how close it is to the canvas. In an ecolodge, find out whether the fireplace is in your room or in a common lounge. In a dome, confirm whether it is decorative or really heats. And in all of them, who lights it, whether the firewood is included and whether there are restrictions on nighttime use.

Fireplaces are spread across three towns in Quindío. Salento has 2, both at places advertised for couples. Calarcá, next to Armenia, has one in a dome with a view. Filandia adds another, also in a dome, which adds a jacuzzi. All 4 have Armenia, Pereira and Ibagué as reference cities, and 3 also fall within the radius of Manizales. If you set out from Armenia, the one in Calarcá is the most immediate.

Here is what each one offers according to its listing:

• Happy Glamping Quindio, in Calarcá: dome with a fireplace and view, with RNT.
• In the ecolodge format, Eco Hotel El Molino in Salento adds a fireplace and is advertised for couples.
• Lumbre Glamorous Camping, also in Salento, mixes a safari tent, cabin and ecolodge, with a river nearby.
• The most complete in extras is Ecohotel Monte Tierra Glamping, in Filandia: fireplace, jacuzzi and view.
