WHERE TO STAY

Official Wedding Hotel

Our Official Base: Modern, comfortable, and surrounded by nature, the Sonesta will be our central hub for the weekend! All event shuttles, day tours, and organized group transportation will depart from here. We encourage everyone to stay here for easy logistics and to take advantage of our discounted rate.

Discount Code: BODAJUANPABLOYRAFAELA

Special Rate: 12% off published rates + early booking discount

How to Book: Contact the hotel directly via WhatsApp at +57 316 443 0736 or email mercadeo.sonestapereira@ghlhoteles.com

Note: Code valid until availability lasts. A 1st-night deposit is required upon booking, with the balance paid at check-in.

Other Options

If you prefer alternative accommodations, here are a few great options in the Cerritos area—all sitting just ~10 minutes from our Sonesta hub and from the wedding venue:

  • Boutique Hotels ($$$): Kawa Bamboo Retreat, Sazagua Hotel Boutique, and Visus Hotel Boutique & Spa are three lovely, nature-surrounded boutique properties. With just 6–10 rooms each, they’re also a fun option if a group of friends wants to book out an entire property together!

    • How to Book: Available on most major travel sites, directly on their sites, or through our Access Travel Team (details below - especially if you are considering booking the whole property). If booking directly with Kawa or Sazagua, mention our wedding code BODARAFAJP for special rates (note: Sazagua’s code is valid until Dec 1, 2026).

  • Cerritos Mall Aparta-Hotel / Airbnb ($): For a more affordable, apartment-style stay right in the Cerritos area (with AC, a full kitchen, workspace, and easy access to restaurants), you can book through this Airbnb listing—or reach out to the owner directly via WhatsApp/phone at +57 323 507 3880 for a potentially lower rate (Spanish likely required!).

  • Coffee Hacienda Rentals - Airbnb & VRBO ($$ - $$$): Renting a traditional coffee farm (hacienda cafetera) can be a wonderful experience for larger groups. Just keep in mind you may be farther away and will need to arrange your own transportation to events.

Travel Recommendations & Colombia Tips

Getting Around

& Safety

Pereira is very safe and welcoming. Uber is easy and reliable, and taxis are everywhere (just carry small cash bills, as taxis don't take cards).

Currency

& ATMs:

Language

Outside major hotels, English isn't as widely spoken. Brushing up on basic Spanish phrases or keeping Google Translate handy will make your travel super smooth!

Cards are widely accepted, but we recommend grabbing some local cash (Colombian Pesos) from an airport ATM on arrival for tips, street markets, and small purchases.
