Airbnb market data · 202612 months to September 2026
The average Airbnb in Guachaca brought in COP 25,761,233 over the 12 months through September 2026, in line with the Magdalena average of COP 26,527,166.
The short answer
Guachaca earns on price rather than volume. Listings averaged COP 465,651 a night and were booked on 24% of available nights, against COP 331,000 and 31% for the Magdalena average.
Timing matters: in July, usually the best month, the average listing earns about 2.2 times as much as in September, usually the slowest. With only 36 active listings, a few bookings can reorder the months.
With 36 active listings, Guachaca is the ninth-largest of 12 Magdalena markets AirROI tracks.

Gross bookings per Guachaca listing averaged COP 25,761,233 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Magdalena average: COP 26,527,166), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Guachaca listing brings in COP 5,250,000 in July, its best month, and COP 2,340,000 in September, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 32% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.
In a typical month, a top-quarter listing earns at least 4.2 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
These are monthly figures for listings active in each month. The annual average above also counts listings that operated for only part of the year, so it runs below twelve times these figures.
July earns about 2.2 times what September does

The dashed line is the average of the months shown, COP 3,880,000. Each point is one month as recorded, averaged over the listings active in it. The best and slowest months in the text average each calendar month over the past two years, so they can differ from the highest and lowest points here.
Latest 12 months in the September 2026 data. September's figures are still coming in, so the rows run to August.
July 2026 led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in August 2026 and bookings in February 2026, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest.

Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average Guachaca Airbnb took in COP 25,761,233 in the 12 months to September 2026, an average that counts every active listing, including those open only part of the year. A listing in the top quarter took in about COP 54,860,000, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about COP 3,430,000 a month of that is left after running costs, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes money.
These amounts come before housing costs. Where the mortgage or rent is less each month, the difference is profit; a home owned outright keeps it all after property tax, home insurance and any building or condo fees.

What a listing keeps comes down to the figures this page measures: nightly rate, nights booked and the months it's open. A listing at the top-quarter mark takes in about COP 4,570,000 a month, against COP 2,150,000 for the average one.
Occupancy
Guachaca listings were booked on 24% of the nights they were open over the past year, 7 percentage points below the Magdalena average (31%) and 9 points below the Colombia average (33%). In a typical year, occupancy climbs to 42% in February and falls to 22% in May.
The busiest tenth of listings are booked about 5.7 times as often as the bottom quarter.

The 12-month rate of 24% averages each listing's whole year, slow months included; each month here counts only the listings booked in it.
Nightly rates
The average nightly rate in Guachaca, known as ADR (average daily rate), was COP 465,651 over the past year, about 41% above the Magdalena average of COP 331,000 and about 32% above the Colombia average of COP 353,000. In a typical year, rates peak in August at about COP 481,000 and bottom out in October at about COP 355,000.
The top 10% charge about 2.6 times the rate of the bottom quarter.
August rates run 36% above October's
Average nightly rate (ADR), by month, September 2024 to August 2026
The dashed line is the average of the months shown, COP 419,000. The 12-month ADR of COP 465,651 averages each listing's own rate across its whole year; the monthly points average listings month by month, so the two differ.
RevPAR, or revenue per available night, divides a listing's income by every night it was open to book, so it rises with both price and bookings. In Guachaca it averaged COP 99,000 over the past year, from about COP 78,100 in a typical September to about COP 169,000 in a typical July.
A small group of listings earns several times more per open night than the rest.

Seasonality
With only 36 active listings, the monthly pattern in Guachaca is noisy, since a few long or pricey stays can lift a month; revenue has tended to peak in July and bottom out in September.
