Decameron Panaca

The Resort and Its Setting

Decameron Panaca sits along the road to Panaca, about 7 km from central Quimbaya, in the department of Quindío — the heart of Colombia's Coffee Triangle (Eje Cafetero). It's an independent resort with a relaxed, low-rise feel, offering a buffet restaurant and a steak house, a tennis court and a pool, and rated 4.5 out of 5 from over 4,200 Google reviews. Guests and reviewers describe it as a down-to-earth, easygoing base rather than a high-rise resort — the kind of place suited to families and travellers who want to spend their days out among coffee farms and green hills rather than by a beach.

Quimbaya and the Coffee Triangle

Quimbaya is a quiet agricultural town known for its warm hospitality and its role as a gateway to Quindío's coffee farms and countryside. The whole Coffee Triangle region is built around agritourism: plantation tours, coffee tastings, and walks through the dramatic wax palm landscapes the area is known for. Within the town itself, the Quimbaya Archaeological Park, roughly 5 km away, holds artefacts from the pre-Hispanic Quimbaya culture and is worth a half-day visit. For a bigger city fix, Pereira, the capital of neighbouring Risaralda department, is about 25 km away and has shopping, restaurants and more urban attractions.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Decameron Panaca and are ready to move on, or simply want to rent it out for a season, BidMyTimeshare.com works as an owner-to-owner marketplace: you list your week, set your own asking price, and buyers or renters contact you directly through the platform. There's no commission on a sale — sellers only pay a small one-time listing fee to get their week in front of buyers.

Because Decameron Panaca is an independent resort, any resale here is handled through the resort's own owners' association or its management rather than a branded exchange company's resale desk. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, ask management for two figures in writing: the current transfer fee for putting the title in the buyer's name, and the latest annual maintenance fee, so both sides know the real cost of ownership going forward. Transfer timelines vary depending on the resort's administration, so it's worth asking how long the paperwork typically takes before you agree a completion date with your buyer.

A resale buyer takes on the week itself — the usage rights, the unit type and season tied to the contract — but they do not automatically inherit any perks, credits or promotional extras that applied only to the original purchase. If the resort has a right of first refusal written into its contract, the owners' association may have the option to match an agreed sale price before it's finalised; check your contract for this clause and mention it in your listing if it applies.

What Renters Typically Look For

Renters researching Decameron Panaca tend to ask about the same practical details: proximity to Quimbaya's coffee farms and the archaeological park, which meals are included given the on-site buffet and steak house, and whether the pool and tennis court are available during their stay. Being upfront about the unit size, the week or season you're offering, and any fixed check-in day will help renters compare your listing against others in the area.

Practical Notes for Travel

Quindío's dry seasons, roughly December to March and July to August, are the easiest months for exploring coffee farms and the archaeological park on foot. A rental car or arranged local transport is worth considering, since the Coffee Triangle's main draws — plantations, trails and nearby towns — are spread across the countryside rather than clustered around the resort itself.
