RV rental from Medellin

Experience Colombia with a Unique Mobile Home Adventure

If you’re looking to explore Colombia in a way that combines freedom, comfort, and a touch of adventure, renting La Nómada, the only mobile home available for rent in Antioquia, might just be your ticket. For $540 per group, you get a fully equipped camper that can take you from Medellín to the lush coffee triangle, the Sierra Nevada, or even Bogotá — all at your own pace. With options to drive for anywhere from 2 to 30 days, this experience is as flexible as it is memorable.

What we love about this experience? First, the ease of travel — the vehicle comes with an automatic transmission and solar-powered amenities that make your trip smooth and sustainable. Second, the personalized route planning support provided by the team means you don’t need to be a seasoned camper or a local expert to enjoy Colombia’s diverse landscapes.

A potential consideration? Limited mileage — 180 km daily — which might add up if you’re planning a long-distance trip without careful planning. Still, for travelers wanting to explore at their own rhythm, this is a fantastic way to see the country.

This tour suits adventurous travelers, couples, or small groups who love outdoor comfort and want the flexibility to discover off-the-beaten-path spots without the hassle of hotel bookings or rigid tours. If you’re eager to craft your own Colombian road story, this rental is a perfect fit.

A Deeper Dive into the Colombia RV Experience

When considering a rental RV adventure in Colombia, it’s important to appreciate what makes this experience different from typical tours. The cost of $540 for up to two people offers a lot of value — especially considering the all-inclusive nature, including insurance and a full kitchen set. Though the price might seem steep at first glance, it’s quite reasonable for a self-paced, flexible exploration of Colombia’s diverse landscapes.

The Vehicle: La Nómada

The key to enjoying this trip is La Nómada itself — a mobile home designed for comfort and practicality. Its air-conditioning ensures cool nights after hot days, while the solar-powered fridge and lights mean you can keep your drinks cold and cook without worrying about power sources. The main bed (1.70 x 1.60 meters) and the additional smaller bed cater comfortably to couples or small families.

The automatic transmission makes driving straightforward, especially for those unfamiliar with Colombian roads. The vehicle’s compact size allows for easier parking and maneuvering, even in narrower mountain roads or small towns. Plus, the full tank at delivery and requirement to return it the same way makes budgeting for fuel straightforward.

Route Planning and Flexibility

One of the biggest perks? The team at NOMAD offers personalized route assistance, guiding you on where to go, park, and what to do. This support transforms the experience from just renting a vehicle to truly embracing the journey. Whether you want to explore coffee farms in Salento, hike the Sierra Nevada, or take scenic drives through Antioquia, they help tailor your route.

You might find, based on reviews, that many travelers loved the freedom, with Jonathan noting he drove over 15 days through Santa Rosa, Parque Sierra Nevada, Bogotá, and the coffee triangle, all in his comfortable camper. Such flexibility is perfect if you prefer not to be tied to fixed itineraries.

What’s Included and What’s Not

The all-risk insurance gives peace of mind, especially for those unfamiliar with Colombian roads. The full kitchen set allows for home-cooked meals, saving money and offering a more authentic experience. The outdoor chairs mean you can enjoy meals al fresco, watching Colombia’s stunning sunsets.

However, the additional km cost of 30 cents per km can add up if you’re planning a long trip. It’s wise to keep track of your daily mileage to avoid surprises. The 180 km per day limit is generous for most explorations but may require extra planning for longer trips.

What Travelers Say

The glowing reviews speak volumes. One traveler, Jonathan, called it the “BEST way to experience Colombia,” emphasizing his comfortable vehicle, ease of driving, and great fuel economy. His 15-day journey covered some of Colombia’s most iconic sights, showcasing how this rental can serve as a mobile base for extensive exploration.

Another point noted in reviews is the benefit of not worrying about accommodations or complicated logistics. The flexibility to design your route and park where you like suits travelers who want independence and spontaneity.

Practical Tips for Your Trip

  • Plan your mileage carefully — the 180 km daily limit is generous but can add up.
  • Book early, especially for longer trips, as availability might vary.
  • Use the route support from NOMAD to discover hidden gems or less crowded spots.
  • Prepare for variable weather — Colombia’s mountain regions can be cool at night even in summer.
  • Bring supplies for cooking and outdoor lounging, or take advantage of the fully equipped kitchen.

Who Should Consider This Tour?

If you’re someone who loves outdoor adventures but doesn’t want to sacrifice comfort, this RV rental offers a great balance. It’s perfect for couples or small groups eager to carve their own path through Colombia’s vibrant landscapes. The support and route assistance make it accessible even for first-time RV travelers, while the authentic outdoor experience is ideal for those craving genuine connections with Colombia’s nature and small towns.

This experience also works well for travelers who value flexibility over rigid tours, allowing them to wake up each day with new horizons in mind. Whether you want to explore coffee plantations, mountain trails, or colonial towns, your mobile home can be your cozy base.

The Sum Up: Is This the Right Colombian Adventure for You?

For those craving freedom, flexibility, and comfort in their Colombian travels, renting La Nómada stands out as a smart, cost-effective option. It offers the chance to drive at your own pace, explore off-the-beaten-path locations, and enjoy the country’s stunning scenery from the comfort of a mobile home.

If you’re a self-sufficient traveler who appreciates the freedom to set your own schedule and explore Colombia’s beautiful landscapes, this rental suits you perfectly. It’s also a great value considering the included insurance, amenities, and route support, especially compared to frequent hotel stays or guided tours.

However, if you prefer more structured itineraries or are uncomfortable with driving in unfamiliar terrain, you might find the flexibility less appealing. Also, keep in mind the mileage restrictions — careful planning can help you maximize your journey without extra costs.

All in all, this experience invites you to craft your own Colombia adventure, one mile at a time — practical, authentic, and full of potential for memorable stories.
