The term “glamping” was formed by the combination between the words glamor and camping; this new trend is an accommodation in which you can enjoy beautiful natural environments, such as parks, forests and gardens, with the comfort of beds, whirlpool baths, wood stoves and saunas, among others.
There are different types of glamping, such as wooden cabins, tree houses, jungle or forest, shops, train cars, igloos, dome houses and small houses that are always in contact with the nature.
According to the media Portafolio, El Tiempo and the Diario de León, Mr. Talal Benjelloun, director of two of the leading platforms in five-star camping reserves Glamping Hub and Mundo Glamping, explained that this trend “emerged as a need for new travelers they look for unique experiences in natural environments and are a little fed up with conventional accommodations, but at the same time, they are not willing to put aside comfort”, because many people who love nature can not stand extreme temperatures or sleep on uncomfortable surfaces. Latin America is one of the best tourist destinations to camp thanks to its magic, history, gastronomy, and nature; this is why the glamping trend is growing in countries such as Argentina, Uruguay, Colombia, Chile, Brazil, and Mexico.
