Your Practical Guide to Making the Most of Your Rural Stay in the Coffee Region
If you’re planning a stay at a countryside finca in Colombia, such as Finca El Tesoro Escondido in the Coffee Region, it’s important to pack the essentials to ensure your experience is comfortable, safe, and worry-free. Here’s a practical guide with everything you should bring to make the most of your stay and enjoy the natural surroundings without any setbacks.
✅ 1. Comfortable clothing suitable for the weather
The weather in rural areas like Arabia, Risaralda, is usually mild during the day and cooler at night. We recommend:
👕 Light clothing for the day
🧥 Lightweight jacket or sweater for the evening
🩳 Swimsuit for the pool
👟 Comfortable shoes for walking on natural terrain
🎒 Cap or hat for sun protection
🧴 2. Personal care and protection items
Although many fincas provide the basics, bringing your personal items is always a good idea:
🧼 Soap, shampoo, and toothbrush
🧴 Sunscreen and insect repellent
🧻 Extra toilet paper (just in case)
🩹 Basic first aid kit
🔌 3. Technology and Useful Extras
In rural areas, disconnecting is part of the charm, but some tech items can be useful:
🔋 Portable charger or power bank
📶 Mobile phone with a good camera for photos
📸 Camera if you want to capture better moments
🔦 Flashlight (in case of power outages or night walks)
🍴 4. Food and Utensils if You Bring Your Own
If you plan to cook during your stay, make sure to bring what you need:
🥫 Non-perishable food
🥤 Drinking water or favorite beverages
🍴 Basic utensils if not provided
🔥 Charcoal or firewood if you plan to have a bonfire or barbecue
At Finca El Tesoro Escondido, we have a fully equipped kitchen available for our guests, but bringing your own ingredients is essential if you want to prepare your own meals.
🧘 5. Optional Items to Enhance Your Stay
These extras can make your experience much more enjoyable:
🧘♀️ Yoga mat or blanket to relax in green areas
📚 Book to read in a hammock
🎲 Board games to share with family
🎵 Small speaker for soft music (respecting the environment)
Staying at a vacation finca in Colombia is a wonderful experience if you prepare well. At Finca El Tesoro Escondido, we offer a natural, cozy, and safe space to disconnect from routine and enjoy the tranquility of the countryside.
