With 93 active listings, Calarcá is the eighth-largest of 11 Quindío markets AirROI tracks. From a year earlier, the number of active listings shrank 9%.

Gross bookings per Calarcá listing averaged COP 21,844,213 over the 12 months to October 2026 (Quindío average: COP 23,472,493), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Calarcá listing brings in COP 5,780,000 in July, its best month, and COP 2,110,000 in October, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 35% 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 6.1 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.

The dashed line is the average of the months shown, COP 3,250,000. 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 October 2026 data. October's figures are still coming in, so the rows run to September.
July 2026 led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in September 2026 and bookings in December 2025, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest.

Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average Calarcá Airbnb took in COP 21,844,213 in the 12 months to October 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 49,250,000, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about COP 2,960,000 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 4,100,000 a month, against COP 1,820,000 for the average one.
Occupancy

The busiest tenth of listings are booked about 6.3 times as often as the bottom quarter.

The 12-month rate of 22% 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 Calarcá, known as ADR (average daily rate), was COP 510,886 over the past year, about 41% above the Quindío average of COP 363,000 and about 37% above the Colombia average of COP 374,000. Averaged month by month over the past two years, rates peak in July and September at about COP 459,000 and bottom out in October and November at about COP 403,000.
Prices span a wide range: the top 10% charge about 7.2 times the rate of the bottom quarter.
September rates run 14% above November's
Average nightly rate (ADR), by month, October 2024 to September 2026
The dashed line is the average of the months shown, COP 437,000. The 12-month ADR of COP 510,886 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 Calarcá it averaged COP 109,000 over the past year, from about COP 68,200 in a typical October to about COP 186,000 in a typical July.
A small group of listings earns several times more per open night than the rest.
