The average Airbnb in Buenaventura brought in COP 9,127,906 over the 12 months through September 2026, about 40% less than the Valle del Cauca average of COP 15,306,817.
The short answer
Rates are in line with the Valle del Cauca average, but bookings trail it. Listings averaged COP 233,107 a night and were booked on 15% of available nights, against COP 230,000 and 31% for the Valle del Cauca average.
Timing matters: in July, usually the best month, the average listing earns about twice as much as in December, usually the slowest. With only 41 active listings, a few bookings can reorder the months.
With 41 active listings, Buenaventura is the 12th-largest of 23 Valle del Cauca markets AirROI tracks. From a year earlier, average revenue fell 17%.

Gross bookings per Buenaventura listing averaged COP 9,127,906 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 Buenaventura listing brings in COP 2,600,000 in July, its best month, and COP 1,350,000 in December, its slowest. November runs within 5% of December, so either can be the slowest in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 31% 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 6.4 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, as extra income from a home or room you already have. The average Buenaventura Airbnb took in COP 9,127,906 in the 12 months to September 2026, counting listings open only part of the year, and a listing in the top quarter, run by its owner at everyday costs, keeps about COP 1,403,000 a month after running costs.
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.

Occupancy
Buenaventura listings were booked on 15% of the nights they were open over the past year, 16 percentage points below the Valle del Cauca average (31%) and 18 points below the Colombia average (33%). Counting only the listings booked in each month and averaging each month over two years, occupancy stays within a narrow band, from 15% in November to 22% in September.
The busiest tenth of listings are booked about 4.8 times as often as the bottom quarter.

The 12-month rate of 15% 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 Buenaventura, known as ADR (average daily rate), was COP 233,107 over the past year, about the same as the Valle del Cauca average (COP 230,000) and about 34% below the Colombia average of COP 353,000. In a typical year, rates peak in August at about COP 245,000 and bottom out in September and November at about COP 200,000.
Prices span a wide range: the top 10% charge about 5.5 times the rate of the bottom quarter.
August rates run 23% above November's
Average nightly rate (ADR), by month, September 2024 to August 2026
The dashed line is the average of the months shown, COP 219,000. The 12-month ADR of COP 233,107 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 Buenaventura it averaged COP 42,300 over the past year. Counting only the listings booked in each month and averaging each month over two years, it runs from about COP 43,400 in December to about COP 83,700 in July.
