The average Airbnb in Chinácota brought in COP 18,906,801 over the 12 months through September 2026, about 32% more than the Norte de Santander average of COP 14,341,191.
The short answer
Chinácota earns on price rather than volume. Listings averaged COP 568,938 a night and were booked on 17% of available nights, against COP 217,000 and 31% for the Norte de Santander average.
Timing matters: in December, usually the best month, the average listing earns about twice as much as in February, usually the slowest. With only 40 active listings, a few bookings can reorder the months.
With 40 active listings, Chinácota is the third-largest of 6 Norte de Santander markets AirROI tracks.

Gross bookings per Chinácota listing averaged COP 18,906,801 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Norte de Santander average: COP 14,341,191), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Chinácota listing brings in COP 4,050,000 in December, its best month, and COP 2,040,000 in February, 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 4.4 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.

Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average Chinácota Airbnb took in COP 18,906,801 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 37,400,000, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about COP 2,340,000 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.
