What is a Colombian finca?<\/h2>\n
\n

A finca is an old country house in the middle of nature, often surrounded by farmland where tropical or non-tropical fruit is grown.<\/strong> So a finca is not a farm, although some estates do have animals roaming around. Often Colombian fincas have a long and rich history that is well reflected in both the traditional and architectural design and the materials used. Despite their often advanced age, most mansions have ample facilities, such as a swimming pool, sports facilities and TV. Compared to hotels and hostels in Colombia, a finca tends to be slightly more expensive and more remote. <\/strong>Staying in a finca is staying close to nature in a typical Colombian country house.<\/p>\n

Fincas are immensely popular in Colombia. Almost every Colombian I know has family somewhere with a finca outside the city, where they all go to during the vacations. You have probably heard of the typical coffee finca in Zona Cafetera<\/a><\/strong>, in the middle of a coffee plantation.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
