Airbnb market data · 202612 months to September 2026
The average Airbnb in Alcalá brought in COP 23,027,140 over the 12 months through September 2026, about 50% more than the Valle del Cauca average of COP 15,306,817.
The short answer

Timing matters: in December, usually the best month, the average listing earns about 4.6 times as much as in September, usually the slowest. With only 40 active listings, a few bookings can reorder the months.
With 40 active listings, Alcalá is the 13th-largest of 23 Valle del Cauca markets AirROI tracks.

Gross bookings per Alcalá listing averaged COP 23,027,140 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Valle del Cauca average: COP 15,306,817), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Alcalá listing brings in COP 6,800,000 in December, its best month, and COP 1,490,000 in September, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 40% 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 4.1 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 3,850,000. 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 and bookings; nightly rates peaked in June 2026. Across the past two years, December is usually the strongest month.

Averages per active listing in each month. Highlighted: the highest-revenue month of the 12. RevPAR is the month's revenue spread over its nights, booked or not. Booking lead time is the days between booking and check-in, and length of stay the nights per booking, for stays in that month.
The typical Alcalá listing earns about COP 2,410,000 a month, but one property can land well above or below that. The Airbnb income calculator gives a range for a specific address, built from the comparable listings around it.
Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average Alcalá Airbnb took in COP 23,027,140 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 48,890,000, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about COP 3,080,000 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 4,070,000 a month, against COP 1,920,000 for the average one.

The busiest tenth of listings are booked about 5.3 times as often as the bottom quarter.

Share of open nights booked, by month, September 2024 to August 2026
The 12-month rate of 18% 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 Alcalá, known as ADR (average daily rate), was COP 771,634 over the past year, about 3.4 times the Valle del Cauca average of COP 230,000 and about 2.2 times the Colombia average of COP 353,000. In a typical year, rates peak in December at about COP 781,000 and bottom out in February and September at about COP 638,000.
Prices span a wide range: the top 10% charge about five times the rate of the bottom quarter.
December rates run 23% above February's
Average nightly rate (ADR), by month, September 2024 to August 2026
The dashed line is the average of the months shown, COP 687,000. The 12-month ADR of COP 771,634 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 Alcalá it averaged COP 125,000 over the past year, from about COP 49,700 in a typical September to about COP 219,000 in a typical December.
