The short answer: the median price per night ranges from COP 190,000 to COP 1,000,000 depending on the municipality, and the municipality matters more than any other factor. A finca is a country house rented whole, usually with a pool, for a group or a family. These numbers come from rental listings published on Finkeros as of August 21, 2026. We also publish the methodology so they can be debated.

How we calculated this
We took every published, visible rental listing, excluded deleted ones and filtered out prices outside the range of COP 50,000 to COP 10,000,000 per night. That filter is necessary: some rental listings have sale prices typed in by mistake, and without filtering them the average for Pereira came out at thirty million pesos per night.
Then we calculated the median, not the average. In small samples, a single extreme value moves the average and tells you nothing useful.
We only included municipalities with enough listings for the median to be stable. With fewer, one or two fincas move the figure and it stops being informative.
What these numbers don't tell you
They are asking prices, not prices paid. It is the amount the owner publishes. What is finally agreed can be lower, especially for long stays and in the off-season.
Some listings quote per person. That is why Montenegro shows COP 190,000 and why the low end of Melgar's range goes down to COP 55,000. Before comparing, ask whether the price is for the whole finca.
They are not peak-season prices. During Semana Santa (Holy Week, the week before Easter), the week between Christmas and New Year's, and on puentes festivos (three-day holiday weekends, since Colombia moves most holidays to Monday), these figures don't apply. At those times you normally pay more, with a minimum number of nights.
Finca size is not controlled for. A municipality with a supply of large fincas shows a higher median without costing more per person. Pereira is the clear example.
What you can conclude
That the neighboring municipality almost always has a better price. Carmen de Apicalá is twenty minutes from Melgar and its median is 30% lower. La Vega is half an hour from Villeta and its median is half. Dagua is close to Cali and its median is a third.
That is the most useful finding in the whole table: moving twenty kilometers (about twelve miles) from the trendy destination changes the price far more than haggling does.
Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to rent a finca in Colombia per night?
Between COP 190,000 and COP 1,000,000 at the median, depending on the municipality, based on listings published on Finkeros as of August 21, 2026. The municipalities with the highest median in the sample are Pereira, San Jerónimo and Villavicencio; those with the lowest are Montenegro, Dagua and Carmen de Apicalá.
Why use the median and not the average?
Because the samples are small and there are extreme values caused by typing errors. A single listing with a sale price entered as a nightly rate completely distorts the average.
Do these prices include peak season?
No. They are published prices, with no distinction by season. During Holy Week, the year-end holidays and long holiday weekends, you usually pay more, with a minimum number of nights.
Is the price per person or for the whole finca?
In most listings it is for the whole finca, but not in all of them. The lowest values in the table almost always correspond to listings that quote per person.
How often do you update this data?
