Indika Bora-Bora - Cabaña - Glamping Choachi Colombia

Indika Bora Bora: Your Colombian Glamping Paradise Awaits!

Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're dissecting Indika Bora Bora: Your Colombian Glamping Paradise Awaits! and I'm about to spill my guts. No sugarcoating, just the raw, unfiltered truth. Think of me as your hyper-caffeinated, slightly cynical travel buddy.

First Impressions: The Vibe Check (Good and… Not So Good)

Listen, "glamping paradise" is a phrase that gets thrown around a lot. I'm a show-me-don't-tell-me kind of person, and Indika Bora Bora, let's just say, mostly delivered. The Bora Bora part? Maybe a touch aspirational. The Colombian part? Absolutely spot-on. The setting is STUNNING. Seriously, jaw-dropping. Rolling hills, lush greenery… if they'd told me I was in a lost city of gold, I might have believed them.

Accessibility: The Fine Print - Or Lack Thereof?

Okay, so this is where we have to get real. Indika Bora Bora mentions "Facilities for disabled guests." Great! But the specifics aren't exactly screaming accessible paradise. We're in Colombia, and that can mean some…interesting terrain. Think steep trails, uneven surfaces. While there is an elevator (praise!), navigating the whole property might be a bit of an adventure for someone with mobility issues. I'd strongly recommend contacting them directly and grilling them about specific aspects before you book. Don't take "facilities for disabled guests" at face value.

Rooms: Cozy, but Not Always Immaculate

The rooms (Available in All Rooms section above) themselves? Pretty damn dreamy. Lots of natural light, comfy beds, that whole "rustic chic" thing done right. Having an additional toilet would be a total game-changer but I didn't notice any. My room, which was a non-smoking room, had all the essentials: air conditioning (a GODSEND), a mini bar (stocked with some seriously overpriced water, but still…), and, thank the sweet baby Jesus, Wi-Fi [free]! Seriously, that's crucial. I mean, you can't live without your TikToks and Instagram, right?

Now, the not-so-good. Cleanliness. I ain't gonna lie, I'm a bit of a germaphobe. And while the "Rooms sanitized between stays" and "Daily housekeeping" were listed, my first impression was not the best. A stray hair here, a questionable smudge there… nothing major, mind you, but enough to make me raise an eyebrow. I'm not expecting sterile perfection, but let's aim for at least mostly clean, yeah?

Internet: The Lifeline (Mostly)

You absolutely get Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! It was a bit spotty at times, especially in the more remote areas. A good reminder to download some movies before you go. They tout Internet access – LAN – which, frankly, I didn't even bother with. Why mess with wires when you have wireless?

Food and Drink: A Culinary Adventure (Mostly Good!)

Okay, here’s where Indika Bora Bora really shines. The "Dining, drinking, and snacking" section is extensive. I won't go into every single item, but let me tell you, that Asian breakfast (Asian cuisine in restaurant) was a revelation. I dream of those pancakes. The "Buffet in restaurant" was a bit hit-or-miss. The "Coffee shop" was essential. Having that Coffee/tea in restaurant available all day long was brilliant. Prices were slightly inflated, as you'd expect, but the quality was generally excellent.

Now, the Poolside bar? Pure bliss. Sipping a cocktail while watching the sun dip below the horizon… yeah, it's as good as it sounds.

Things to Do & Ways to Relax: Spa Day Shenanigans and Beyond

The "Things to do" and "ways to relax" sections are where Indika Bora Bora REALLY wants to impress, and for the most part, they do. The Spa/sauna is legitimately fantastic. The "Pool with view" is the place you want to be, the "Swimming pool [outdoor]" is great for cooling off. I’d be very keen to try the "Sauna", the"Steamroom", and the "Foot bath"- they sound divine.

I tried the Body scrub. Let me paint you a picture. Me, covered in mud, giggling like a maniac while the masseuse gently exfoliated. It. Was. Heavenly. I felt like a whole new person. The Massage was equally amazing. The Spa. Worth every penny.

The Gym/fitness is something I didn't utilize. (Let's be honest, who goes on vacation to exercise?) But it seemed well-equipped.

Cleanliness and Safety: The Covid-Era Checklist. Finally a Positive

This is the area where Indika Bora Bora truly earned back my trust, they had "Anti-viral cleaning products," "Cashless payment service," "Daily disinfection in common areas," "Hand sanitizer," "Individually-wrapped food options," "Physical distancing of at least 1 meter," "Professional-grade sanitizing services," "Room sanitization opt-out available," "Rooms sanitized between stays," "Safe dining setup," "Sanitized kitchen and tableware items," "Staff trained in safety protocol," and "Sterilizing equipment" all seemed to be the case. I felt safe. And that's HUGE right now. They are certified safe as well.

Services and Conveniences: The Perks

They offer a lot in this department. Daily housekeeping is a must! Concierge service? Super helpful, especially if you're trying to navigate the local area. Having a Convenience store on-site is a lifesaver for those last-minute snack attacks. There are some nice amenities, like the "Invoice provided", and "Luggage storage".

For the Kids: Family Friendly?

I don't have kids. So I didn't explore the "For the kids" section. So I can’t give an informed opinion I'll say their "Kids facilities" are available, along with "Babysitting service".

Getting Around: Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy

"Airport transfer" is a must. They offer "Car park [free of charge]" which is great, but if you need a taxi, they have "Taxi service" available, and you're set.

Overall: The Verdict

Indika Bora Bora is an experience. It has issues, absolutely. It's not perfect. The inconsistent cleanliness, the slightly elevated prices, the potential accessibility issues… But the good stuff, the food, the views, the spa, the feeling of being truly away from it all… that’s what you'll remember.

My Recommendation: Book It, With a Few Caveats

Here’s My Pitch, a Bit of a Mess, But Honest:

Tired of the ordinary? Craving an escape that's equal parts luxury and raw Colombian beauty? Then, my friend, pack your bags and head to Indika Bora Bora: Your Colombian Glamping Paradise Awaits!

Here’s the deal: It's lush, it's lovely, and it'll give you some seriously Instagrammable content. BUT, and it's a big BUT, do your research. Specifically, If accessibility is a concern, call them and ask ALL the questions. And, set your expectations accordingly.

Indika Bora-Bora - Cabaña - Glamping Choachi Colombia

Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because we're not just planning a trip to Indika Bora-Bora – we're living it, even before we get there. Prepare for a rollercoaster of emotions, questionable decisions, and enough coffee to fuel a small nation. This is going to be… interesting.

Indika Bora-Bora - Cabaña - Glamping Choachi Colombia: The Slightly Unhinged Itinerary

Phase 1: The Pre-Trip Panic (and Pasta Overload)

Week Before: The Dreaded "To-Do" List Avalanche. I'm a master procrastinator, so naturally, everything's a blazing dumpster fire a week out. Passport? Check (after a frantic search under the couch). Booking flights? Uh, almost checked… still trying to convince my credit card it’s really me. Packing? Let's just say my suitcase currently resembles a fashion crime scene. Must. Pack. Everything. (Even that sequined banana I might need. You never know.)
- Anxiety Eats: The first sign of serious travel stress? Pasta. And lots of it. Carb-loading is a coping mechanism, and I'm fully embracing it. Send help… and more marinara sauce.
The Great Equipment Debate: Camera? Phone? Drone (because why not)? My tech bag looks like a bomb disposal kit. Obsessing over battery life. Swearing I have enough memory cards, but secretly knowing I don't.
The Weather Obsession: Choachi's weather is… unpredictable. I'm glued to the forecast. Layering is key, and I'm already picturing myself looking like a Michelin Man.
Booking the Transfers: Decided, last mintue to book a local driver to take me to Indika Bora-Bora. I want feel local, I want to trust someone that have been there before.
- Impulsivity and the Fear of Missing Out - This is where things get messy. I'm currently going down a rabbit hole of reviews of the glamping, reviews that are all conflicting, and I'm already questioning my choices. Are the views really that good? Will I be eaten alive by bugs? Is the cabaña actually as romantic as the photos suggest, or just a cleverly lit shed? I'm already regretting not booking that extra massage.

Phase 2: Getting There (Pray for my Sanity)

Day 1: The Travel Saga Begins (And Coffee is Life). Early flight. Up before the sun. Groggily navigating an airport. I'm pretty sure I saw a small child give me an existential side-eye while I stumbled around. Thank God for airport coffee, which I'm currently mainlining like it's oxygen.
Flights and Connecting Flights: This is where things get slightly blurry. Turbulence is going to make me rethink my life choices and how to make my stomach survive.
Arrival and the Car Ride: Finally in Colombia! The air smells different. The language sounds sweet. Meeting my driver finally. The scenery is stunning, the road, a rollercoaster of emotions. I'm completely unprepared for the sheer vibrancy of it all.
- Anecdote: We pass a roadside fruit stand overflowing with things I've never seen before. I make my driver stop. I buy everything. My Spanish is terrible, but we manage the transaction, a hilarious dance of pointing, gesturing, and the universal language of shared laughter. The fruits? Heavenly.
Arrival at Indika Bora-Bora (Cue the "Oh My God" Moment). The photos? They didn’t do it justice. This place is… surreal. The cabaña (or whatever they call it – "luxury tree fort" is more fitting) is tucked away, surrounded by lush greenery. The view? Jaw-droppingly spectacular. I think I may have forgotten to breathe. It feels like stepping into a postcard.
- Quirky Observation: I’m pretty sure the hummingbirds are judging my choice of footwear. Or my entire life, really. They're beautiful, bossy little buggers.
Unpacking and Initial Exploration (The "I'm Never Leaving" Phase). The cabaña is gorgeous, comfy, and so freaking romantic. I'm tempted to just stay here and never leave. I'm fighting the urge to take 500 photos of the same view. I fail.
- Emotional Reaction: Pure, unadulterated bliss. This is it. This is what I've been working towards. The stress is already melting away.

Phase 3: Immersion (Let Loose, You Crazy Person)

Days 2-4: Exploring Choachi and Around.
- The Great Coffee Quest: Going full-blown coffee snob. Colombia is famous for its coffee, and I'm on a serious mission to sample all of it. Every cup is better than the last. This is not a drill.
- Hike/Walk: Hiking through the surrounding hills. Breathing in the fresh air, and cursing the steep inclines. I was not prepared for the "cardio" aspect of this vacation. But the views are worth it, even if I am wheezing like a rusty old engine at the top.
- Adventure Time: Attempting a zip-lining experience. I'm terrified of heights, but I'm also a sucker for adventure. The moment I took off was pure adrenaline, followed by a scream that may have slightly damaged my vocal cords. Definitely doing this again (once my heart rate returns to normal).
- The Food Frenzy: Eating everything. Everything. Arepas? Empanadas? Bandeja Paisa? Yes, yes, and yes.
- The Indika Bora-Bora Experience: I wanted the experience, the reviews said. Okay I need some time for that.
  - The Pool: That infinity pool is everything I dreamed of and more. I spent hours in the water, basking in the sun, reading my book, and contemplating the meaning of life. The only imperfection: a rogue leaf that keeps clinging to my back. I'm fighting the urge to bring a net.
  - The Private Romantic Dinner: The Indika Bora-Bora staff set up a private dinner under the stars. They put the lights and candles and a delicious meal. The chef prepared the meal around local ingredients. The view was magnificent, and the food was delicious. I wanted to stay there forever.
  - The Massage: The massage was amazing. I choose a relaxing one. The view, the sounds, the scents, was perfect!
- Anecdote: One morning, I woke up to a symphony of birdsong. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a tiny, fluffy kitten appeared on my balcony. Obviously, I named him "Choachi." We became best friends.
- Messier Structure: The days start to run together in a delightful blur of sunshine, coffee, and laughter. Forget the itinerary. I'm just going with the flow, living in the moment, and loving every messy, imperfect second.
The Photo/Video Log: Documenting everything. I'll probably make my own personal documentary, because I am not going to let people doubt that I have been there.

Phase 4: Departure (And the Post-Vacation Blues)

The Last Day: Reluctant packing. Saying goodbye to Choachi. I'm already planning my return trip, despite the fact that I haven't even left yet.
The Ride Back to the Airport: Reflecting on the experience. Did this REALLY happen? I swear I saw a donkey wearing a hat. This is the best trip of my life, so far.
- Stronger Emotional Reaction: A wave of bittersweet sadness washes over me as I look back. This trip has been a balm for my soul. The memories, the experiences, the people… I feel more alive, more connected.
The Long Flight Home: Revisiting photos, dreaming of the next adventure. The post-vacation blues are setting in, big time. Already starting to brainstorm where to go next. Maybe the Himalayas? Or perhaps a desert? The options are endless, and my mind is already racing.
The Realization: I'll miss the simplicity, the beauty, the feeling of being utterly, gloriously present. But I'm taking a piece of Choachi with me - a reminder to breathe, to savor the moment, and to never stop exploring.
The Great Post-Trip Laundry/Shopping/Blog/Social-Media Avalanche: A mountain of laundry, and about a thousand photos to sort through. Posting pictures. Texting everyone about my trip.

Things That Might Change:

My mood: Definitely.
Weather conditions: The weather changes every hour, so I need to be prepared.
Me, the experience: I'm going without planning, and with a lot of trust.

Overall Assessment : Epic, life-changing, and utterly chaotic. Worth it. Every single, messy, beautiful second.

Indika Bora Bora: Your Colombian Glamping Paradise Awaits! (Or Does It...? Let's Dive In!)

Okay, So What Exactly IS Indika Bora Bora? Is This Real Life, or Just Fantasy?

Alright, deep breath. Indika Bora Bora… picture this: you’re supposed to be in glamorous glamping tents, nestled in the Colombian jungle, right near Guajira’s desert coast. Think Instagram-worthy sunsets, maybe a cheeky monkey stealing your banana, and the promise of pure, unadulterated relaxation. That's the brochure's promise. The reality… well, let’s just say it’s an adventure. It’s *mostly* real life. Definitely no Freddie Mercury serenading you to sleep, sadly. But the views? Those are legit. The sky puts on a show every evening.

Is it Actually Glamping? Or More... Camping with a Fancy Tent?

This is the big question, isn't it? "Glamping." The word itself feels… hopeful. My experience? Let's just say my definition of "glamping" is constantly evolving. The tents *are* pretty cool, big and airy with the sort of fabric that always feels a little bit… dampish, even in the dry heat. You *do* get a bed, and they try to make it comfy (though my back definitely felt every pebble under that mattress one night). There's a bathroom (again, mostly functional, though the water pressure was… let’s say, *inspired*). So, yeah. It's camping, but with slightly nicer surroundings. Don't expect *The Ritz*, okay? My partner, bless him, kept muttering about needing proper pillows. And honestly, I agreed.

How Do I Get There? Is it a Pain in the Butt?

Okay, the journey… this is where the 'adventure' part really kicks in. You're flying into Riohacha, the main gateway. From there, it’s a drive. A *long* drive. Think winding roads, bumpy bits, and vistas that might just leave you speechless (in a good way, usually). They arrange transport. That's the good news. The not-so-good news? Try to pack light. Our luggage, bless it, decided to get stuck in Bogota, requiring a nail-biting phone call with my Spanish that's roughly "Me want water." It *was* reunited with us, eventually. But the moral of the story? Be prepared for a slightly… *unpredictable* journey. And bring snacks. SO many snacks.

The Food! Tell Me About the Food! Is it Worth the Trip?

Alright, the food. This area… it’s complicated. The setting is unbelievably gorgeous, and the sunsets... man. But sometimes, the food felt like a secondary thought. Don’t get me wrong, the effort is there. They try. Fresh fish is a staple, of course. And on a good day, the flavors absolutely sing. One night, they did this BBQ… *amazing*. Smokey, perfectly cooked, and I practically licked my plate clean. But other meals? Let’s just say there were times I craved a good old-fashioned sandwich. Pro Tip: If you're a picky eater, pack some emergency snacks. Seriously. I regret not bringing more instant coffee! Coffee is life.

What's There To DO? Besides Stare at the Ocean and Wonder If You're Doing Enough?

Okay, so "doing stuff" is key. You can definitely chill, read a book, and soak up the views. And you *should*. But, there are also activities. They offer tours, including visits to local indigenous communities. This was truly fascinating and a real highlight. You get a much deeper understanding of the culture. There's also… well, the beach! Gorgeous, windswept beaches where you can swim, wander, and generally lose yourself in the moment. Just be prepared for wind! It's seriously windy. I spent half my time chasing after my hat. And if you're up for it, you can take a day to explore the neighboring cities! We didn't, because the idea of spending all of our time exploring was just too much.

Speaking of the Beach... Is It Safe? Because I've Seen Too Many Movies.

Look, safety is always a concern, right? Especially when you're going somewhere remote. The area felt pretty safe, in my experience. The staff are very attentive, and keep an eye on things. There were security folks, and patrols around the grounds, and the beach felt safe. But, common sense applies, you know? Don't wander around alone at night, be aware of your surroundings, and don’t flash expensive jewelry. And always listen to the advice of the locals. They know best. I never felt unsafe, but I was always alert.

What About the Staff? Are They Friendly? Do They Speak English?

The staff! Ah, the staff. They were mostly wonderful. Seriously! Super friendly and genuinely warm people. They really tried, too. And that matters. Not everyone speaks perfect English, so brush up on your Spanish, or at least learn a few basic phrases. I had a blast practicing my "¡Hola!" and "Muchas gracias" until I nearly wore the words thin. They were patient with my attempts, and always happy to help. I tried to tip them a lot for that, especially that lovely waitress who brought me coffee every morning... I could have kissed her!

Okay, So, The Biggest Question: Would You Go Back? Would YOU REALLY?

Oooh, the million-dollar question. Okay, the honest truth? It's complicated. There's a *lot* I loved about Indika Bora Bora. Like REALLY loved. The sheer escape of it all? Unbeatable. Those sunsets? Forever burned into my memory. The stars at night… incredible. The people, mostly. The adventure of getting there. But... the food could be hit or miss. And the whole 'glamping' thing... well, it’s more "camping with a really nice tent". It's not *perfect*, but it’s raw and authentic, imperfections and all. Would I go back? Hmmm… maybe. Probably. But next time, I'm packing my own pillow. And a stash of instant coffee. And maybe a mini-stove to make my own meals. Because at the end of the day, the views alone might just be enough... but a *good* meal would certainly sweeten the deal!
