January: the perfect month to start the year calmly among the mountains

This month, Pamplona and Chinácota are the perfect destinations for those looking to start the year with calm, well-being, and a connection with nature.

Traveling in January: less noise, more experience

Traveling in January has advantages that many overlook. The busiest seasons are over, destinations regain their tranquility, and travelers can enjoy places more deeply. It's not about "doing a lot," but about living each experience better.

In Pamplona, January feels intimate. Its cobbled streets, colonial architecture, and university atmosphere create a serene atmosphere, ideal for walking, drinking hot coffee, and letting time flow. It is a perfect destination for those who enjoy cultural tourism, history, and spaces that invite reflection.

Chinácota, meanwhile, offers a warmer, greener, and more relaxed start to the year. Its natural landscapes, temperate climate, and rural atmosphere make it an ideal retreat for resting, reading, spending time with family, or simply disconnecting from the fast pace of city life.

Resting is also a goal.

January is often filled with goals: exercising more, eating better, being more productive, traveling more. However, one fundamental goal is rarely included: truly resting. Not as a quick break, but as a conscious experience.

Staying in a place that invites relaxation completely transforms the way you start the year. Sleeping well, waking up without alarms, enjoying a good meal, and letting the day unfold at your own pace is, in itself, a form of well-being.

Both in Pamplona and Chinácota, Hotel Cariongo offers spaces designed for just that: comfort, tranquility, attentive service, and an experience that combines warmth with authenticity. It's not just a place to sleep, it's a space to stay, breathe, and feel at home.

Quiet plans to start the year

January does not require busy schedules. On the contrary, it invites simple but memorable plans:

              • Morning walks along quiet streets or trails surrounded by nature.

              • Leisurely breakfasts, enjoying local flavors and the climate.

              • Afternoons spent reading or chatting, away from screens and notifications.

              • Family moments, where time spent together is worth more than any itinerary.

In Pamplona, every corner has a story to tell. Churches, museums, squares, and traditional cafés allow you to get to know the city at a leisurely pace and up close.

In Chinácota, nature takes center stage: the greenery, the fresh air, and the feeling of being far away from it all, without going too far.

January with family, as a couple, or by yourself

One of the greatest advantages of traveling in January is its versatility. It is a month that suits different types of travelers.

For families, it's an opportunity to reconnect after the holidays, share without distractions, and create memories in a peaceful and safe environment.

For couples, January offers intimate settings, sunset walks, and quiet evenings that invite conversation and shared relaxation.

And for those who decide to travel alone, it is the ideal time to reflect, write, read, and start the year with clarity and purpose.

The Hotel Cariongo, with its two locations, strikes the perfect balance where every type of traveler finds what they need: tranquility, comfort, and service that makes them feel welcome.

Gastronomy as part of relaxation

Starting the year also means treating yourself. Eating well, enjoying comforting flavors, and sitting down at the table without rushing is a fundamental part of any trip in January.

The gastronomic experience is a perfect complement to relaxation. Well-prepared dishes, pleasant surroundings, and the opportunity to share a meal make each day feel more human and intimate.

Because resting isn't just about sleeping more, it's also about eating better, enjoying the moment, and allowing your senses to relax.

A start to the year that really feels different

January doesn't have to be a month of rushing around, endless to-do lists, and anticipatory stress. It can perfectly well be a month to slow down, take a calm look at the year ahead, and start from a more balanced place.

Traveling to Pamplona or Chinácota in January is a way of saying to the new year: I'm going to do things differently. With more breaks, more moments in the present, and more experiences that you truly enjoy.

The Cariongo Hotel opens its doors to accompany the start of the year, offering a space where tranquility, good service, and natural surroundings come together to help you start the year off right.

Start the year where time feels different

If you're looking for a place to relax, reconnect, and start the year with real energy—without rushing—this January, Pamplona and Chinácota await you.

Surrounded by mountains, pleasant weather, and spaces designed for well-being, the start of the year can become an experience that sets the tone for everything to come.

Because sometimes, the best New Year's resolution is simply to learn to enjoy the journey.
