The Best Places for Camping and Glamping in Jerico

TLDR? Jerico has many options for camping or glamping where you can take in gorgeous views of Antioquia’s coffee-growing mountains.

If you’re looking to get away from Medellin and the routine, there’s no need to look very far. About three hours away from the capital city, is Jerico, one of Antioquia’s most attractive colonial destinations.

And, it’s also famous for the stunning mountains surrounding the town. As a result, it’s an incredible place to spend a night and see the stars from a tent or natural room.

In this guide, I’ll tell you all the best places for camping and glamping in Jerico.

Ecoland

Ecoland is a tourist center three kilometers from the center of Jerico. Perfect for camping and picnics, Ecoland also offers restaurant service and adventure activities such as paragliding.

Now, if you don’t like roughing it and would rather have more of a glamping experience, this is the place to go. At Ecoland, there are bathroom services, showers, and electricity. Plus, there’s actually on-site security!

Here you don’t have to worry about cooking, looking for firewood, or groping about in the dark for the bathroom. Just show up and enjoy a natural getaway in style.

In fact, Ecoland actually has fast WiFi and some workspaces where you can get some coworking done. I’d call that a win-win!
