More Than a Vacation.
This is a 7-day immersive retreat in Colombia’s coffee region designed to help you slow down, reconnect, and experience this extraordinary part of Colombia through the people who call it home.
Through daily yoga, cultural immersion, meaningful connection, and time to simply be, you’ll leave feeling grounded, inspired, and deeply renewed.
THE EXPERIENCE
SEVEN DAYS.
ONE EXTRAORDINARY REGION.
From coffee-covered mountains and colorful pueblos to towering wax palms and natural hot springs, each day reveals a different side of Colombia’s Coffee Region
COLOMBIA’S COFFEE REGION
Where Coffee, Culture & Connection Run Deep
Tucked into the lush Andes, Colombia’s Coffee Region—known locally as the Eje Cafetero—is a landscape of rolling coffee farms, colorful mountain towns, natural hot springs, and the towering wax palms of the Cocóra Valley. But what makes this region unforgettable goes far beyond its scenery—it’s the warmth of its people, generations of coffee-growing tradition, and a culture deeply connected to the land.
For us, that connection is personal. Juan Pablo was born and raised here, his family still calls the region home, and many of the places you’ll experience are connected to his family, friends, and relationships we’ve built over the year.
You won’t simply visit the coffee region; you’ll experience it through the people who call it home. From sharing meals and practicing yoga alongside the local community, to visiting a coffee farm run by the people we know personally, you’ll be welcomed into experiences most travelers would never encounter on their own.
Experience Colombia less like a tourist, and more like a welcomed guest.

YOUR HOME FOR THE WEEK
Finca Hotel Yerbabuena
Nestled in Colombia’s lush coffee region, Finca Hotel Yerbabuena will be our home for the week—a peaceful finca surrounded by gardens, plantains fields, and open countryside. It’s a place to slow down between adventures, gather over meals, and settle into the rhythm of the region.
This space is especially meaningful to us. It’s where we celebrated our own wedding, and over time we’ve built close relationships with the people here. Returning with our Casa Bella guests allows us to share a place that feels genuinely personal to us.
Slow down. Settle in.
This is where your days unfold.
FOOD + CULTURE
A Taste of the Coffee Region
Food is one of the ways you get to know a place. Throughout the week, we’ll share meals inspired by the flavors and traditions of Colombia’s Coffee Region—from fresh local ingredients and familiar dishes, as well as some that may be completely new to you.
Some meals will be enjoyed together at Yerbabuena, while others will take us out into the region. More than simply what’s on the table, these moments are about sharing stories, trying something new, and experiencing the warmth and hospitality that are such a memorable part of being here.
MEET YOUR HOSTS
Colombia is Personal to Us
We’re Juan Pablo and Dylan, founders of Casa Bella Collective. What began as a desire to share a place we love has grown into something even more meaningful after welcoming our first Casa Bella guests to Colombia.
For Juan Pablo, the Coffee Region is home. Born and raised in Colombia, with family still there, he brings a lifetime of familiarity with the language, traditions, and places that shape this part of the country. A former Colombian national team swimmer and now a yoga and swim instructor, he brings movement, energy, and a distinctly Colombian perspective to the week.
Dylan brings a background in occupational therapy and yoga, along with a love of creating experiences that feel thoughtful, comfortable, and well cared for. After hosting our first retreat together, we saw firsthand how even the smallest moments—from conversations over coffee to unexpected stops along the way—can become some of the most memorable.
Together, we draw on our family ties, friendships, and firsthand knowledge of the region to share a side of Colombia that feels personal to us—and one we’re proud to introduce to our guests.
And yes, there’s Bella.
Casa Bella is named after our tripod dog, Bella, who has been a part of countless adventures with us and has become a symbol of the spirit behind what we’re building You may even spot her joining us for parts of the journey.
