Traveling with family means sharing unforgettable moments with the ones we love most — and for many people, that includes their pets. Today, dogs and cats are an essential part of the household, and more families are looking for vacation destinations where they can enjoy time with them without restrictions. This is where the trend of pet-friendly hotels comes in: spaces that understand that animals are not just companions, but beloved members of the family.
At Cafam, we believe in complete vacations — the kind where no one gets left behind. That’s why our destinations are designed to welcome pets with everything they need to enjoy days filled with fun, rest, and freedom alongside their families. Because there’s no greater joy than watching a dog run freely in a natural environment, explore new adventures, or simply be present while everyone enjoys the rest they deserve.
Cafam: Tourist experiences designed for the whole family, including pets Our hotels and vacation homes at the Cafam Melgar Vacation Resort let you travel worry-free and enjoy spacious areas, green zones, and the warm Tolima weather — ideal for outdoor activities with your furry best friend. Whether you’re going on walks, relaxing, or enjoying playtime sessions, you can feel at ease knowing your pets are also living an unforgettable vacation.
We offer pet-friendly options at: • Kualamaná Hotel • Almirante Hotel • Vacation Homes
In all of these options, pets are welcome so no family member is left behind. The pet-friendly admission fee per night is $36,800, an investment that ensures well-being, comfort, and the ideal environment for your four-legged companions.
Details to keep in mind when traveling with pets To ensure a comfortable and safe experience for everyone, it’s important to follow certain recommendations and guidelines:
• Internal transportation rules: If you plan to use the traditional CafaChivas at the Vacation Resort, your pet must wear a muzzle during the rides. This measure helps ensure the safety and peace of mind of all visitors.
• Behavior and care: Always keep your pet supervised and bring basic items such as water, a toy, a leash, waste bags, and a blanket or bed if your pet prefers a comfortable place to rest.
• Well-being and health: Before traveling, make sure your pet is in optimal health and has up-to-date vaccines. This ensures a stress-free experience with complete safety and confidence.
Traveling with pets not only strengthens the emotional bond but also brings peace of mind by avoiding leaving them at home or in boarding kennels. Plus, for those who travel alone, a furry companion makes every adventure more enjoyable, fun, and heartwarming.

Cafam Melgar protects water and preserves nature for a sustainable future
Enjoying an unforgettable vacation is also synonymous with respecting nature and being truly committed to a more sustainable future. At the Cafam Melgar Vacation Center, fun and relaxation go hand in hand with a solid commitment to sustainability and environmental protection. One of the main actions that reflects our responsibility towards the environment is our Drinking Water Treatment Plant, which processes 348,000 m³ of water annually, ensuring safe supply for all daily activities and operations at the Vacation Center. Thanks to the Domestic Wastewater Treatment Plant (PTARD), authorized for its operation through a discharge permit from the Regional Autonomous Corporation of Tolima, approximately 68,000 m³ of wastewater is treated every year. This process helps prevent contamination of nearby streams and rivers, protecting local aquatic ecosystems such as the Sumapaz River and the Melgar stream, significantly contributing to the sustainability of the region’s natural resources. The Cafam Melgar Vacation Center strictly complies with environmental regulations, contributing to the well-being of local communities and to the ecological balance of the region, responding to the needs and expectations of our stakeholders. We reaffirm our commitment through our Environmental Policy and our Environmental Management System certified in 2025.
