New Year's getaways: reconnect, relax, and breathe

It's not about escaping routine, but transforming it for a few days. Replacing noise with silence, screens with landscapes, and the clock with your body's own rhythm.

Traveling in the first months of the year: a conscious decision

Traveling in the first few months of the year is, above all, a smart choice. It is a season when destinations are quieter, spaces are not crowded, and the experience becomes much more intimate. Hotels can offer more personalized service, cities show their most authentic side, and travelers can enjoy themselves without the pressure of time.

This season has become a favorite for those seeking true rest and relaxation. People who understand that starting the year off right doesn't mean chasing new goals, but rather creating space to think clearly, recharge, and reconnect with what's essential.

Pamplona and Chinácota, two iconic destinations in Norte de Santander, offer just the right balance of relaxation, culture, and nature that people seek at this time of year.

Reconnecting: the true purpose of travel

Beyond the destination, what many people seek at the beginning of the year is to reconnect. Reconnect with rest, with silence, with long conversations, and with the feeling of being present in the moment.

Everyday life often pushes us to live on autopilot. Waking up to alarms, eating quickly, constantly checking our cell phones, and sleeping without completely disconnecting. A well-planned getaway breaks that cycle and gives us back something fundamental: mindfulness.

Traveling to a place where the surroundings invite calm allows you to reconnect with yourself and those who accompany you. It means returning to enjoying the simple things: walking aimlessly, observing the landscape, reading a book you've been meaning to read, or simply doing nothing.

Pamplona: a city to start the year slowly

Pamplona is a city best enjoyed without rushing. Its history, reflected in every street and every façade, is more clearly perceived when time seems to slow down. The beginning of the year is ideal for exploring it calmly, without crowds, allowing each corner to tell its own story.

The cool climate accompanies the experience and becomes an ally of rest. Mornings invite you to enjoy a hot coffee, contemplate the city from a window, or take leisurely strolls through its historic center. Afternoons lend themselves to long conversations, and nights to deep, restful sleep.

Staying at the Hotel Cariongo in Pamplona allows you to experience the city from a privileged location. Its location, attentive service, and comfortable spaces make guests feel accompanied, but never rushed. Here, rest is not a promise, it is an experience.

Chinácota: breathe in nature and well-being

For those seeking closer contact with nature, Chinácota is an ideal destination to start the year. Its green surroundings, mild climate, and peaceful atmosphere make every stay an opportunity to breathe deeply and reconnect with your body.

At the beginning of the year, Chinácota feels especially serene. The nature trails invite you to take a leisurely stroll, the landscape takes center stage, and the fresh air is noticeable from the moment you arrive. It is the perfect destination for those who want to relax without isolating themselves, enjoying nature without sacrificing comfort.

The new headquarters of the Hotel Cariongo in Chinácota blends harmoniously with its surroundings. A space designed for rest, contemplation, and well-being, where every detail invites you to stay a little longer. Here, the experience is not about doing a lot, but about feeling good.

Resting is also an act of self-care.

In recent years, the concept of self-care has taken on a new meaning. It is no longer limited to specific routines, but includes conscious decisions that promote physical and emotional health. Traveling at the beginning of the year is one of them.

Rest should not be seen as a reward, but as a necessity. Sleeping well, eating without rushing, moving freely, and disconnecting from daily pressures has a direct impact on overall well-being.

New Year's getaways allow you to:

              • Reduce the stress accumulated at the end of the year

              • Improve sleep quality

              • Regain physical and mental energy

              • Clarify ideas and purposes

              • Strengthen personal ties

Whether as a couple, with family, or even alone, traveling in the first few months of the year becomes a gift that leaves lasting benefits.

Cuisine that accompanies relaxation

Rest and relaxation also begin at the table. Eating well, without rushing, enjoying comforting flavors, is an essential part of the travel experience. The start of the year invites us to return to basics: well-prepared dishes, fresh ingredients, and moments shared around food.

At Hotel Cariongo, the cuisine is designed to complement this spirit of calm. Every meal becomes an opportunity to enjoy yourself without rushing, to chat and savor the flavors. Because eating well is also a way of taking care of yourself.

A new year, a new rhythm

The start of the year does not demand big promises. It does not impose endless lists or unattainable goals. It is a month that invites you to start slowly, with intention and balance.

Pamplona and Chinácota offer ideal settings for those who want to start the year in a different way. Places where time feels kinder and where rest is not a luxury, but a natural part of the experience.

The Hotel Cariongo, with locations in Pamplona and Chinácota, is a meeting point between comfort, tranquility, and attentive service. It is a place where every guest can feel at home, even when far away from home.

At the start of this year, the invitation is clear: reconnect, rest, and breathe. Sometimes, that's all we need to get off to a good start.
