Valentine’s Day is one of the best times to express your heartfelt love to someone you love the most — whether it’s your wife, girlfriend, or that special lady friend.

It’s the worldwide holiday solely dedicated to love.

For Colombian women, it’s a significant day meant to be spent with their loved ones. If you’re currently married, in a relationship, or dating a Colombian woman, she’ll be expecting you to surprise her with something romantic on this festive day.

Valentine’s day dates can be difficult to plan. That’s why we’ve written this article to give you a few ideas on how to spend this exciting day with your lovely lady. Learn about what Colombian ladies love to do during the “day of love.”

Día de Amor y Amistad: Colombia’s Valentine’s Day

Before we dive into romantic date ideas for Valentine’s Day, it’s best to know this little fact about the holiday in Colombia.

In most countries, the day of love is commonly celebrated on the 14th of February each year. However, in Colombia, they celebrate this special day on a different date, which is usually on the 3rd Saturday of September each year — officially called Día de Amor y Amistad or the day of love and friendship.

Originally, Colombian Valentine’s day was celebrated in February, but around 1969 it was moved to September for two reasons: to help boost the economy by increasing sales of flowers and chocolates for this month, and because Colombia had no holidays in September during this time.

Though differing in dates, Valentine’s Day and Día de Amor y Amistad are basically the same. It’s a day where you get to show your love and appreciation to the special people in your life: your family, friends, and most especially, your significant other.

There are tons of activities you can do on this magical day. If you want to know how to make a Colombian woman fall in love with you, take her out on the following date activities on Valentine’s.

Romantic Date Ideas for Valentine’s Day

There’s more to this day than gift-giving and public declarations of feelings. It’s the perfect opportunity to spend an intimate day with your Colombian girl — to be lovey-dovey and not have a care in the world. Make her fall in love with you (all over again) by taking her on these romantic dates:

Dine al fresco

Most women love a classic dinner date. But if you want to change things up, you can opt for al fresco dining. It will feel like a scene straight from a romantic film.

Imagine witnessing the sun setting down, the stars twinkling above, lit candles on the table, amazing food, a fine bottle of wine, and your beautiful Colombian lady sitting in front of you. Truly romantic. Next thing you’ll know you’ll be swooning over each other.

Go dancing

Not to stereotype, but most women in Colombia do love to dance. It’s logical to take them dancing on Valentine’s. Go get her heart pumping and hips swaying on the dance floor. It would be perfect if you could join her.

Since this date night is special, you need to come prepared. It’s advisable to take Latin dance lessons beforehand so you can surprise her on this day with your newly acquired moves.

Book a romantic getaway

Plan a trip to the beach, staycation in a local hotel, or even go on an international trip. It’s a chance for you and her to unwind, let loose, and take time off from your normal day-to-day lives.

Did you know traveling together with someone makes you closer? Couples who make travel plans together have reported that the experience made them satisfied with their relationship: they communicate better, they discover details about each other, and it helps them spend more quality time with each other.

Not only will you get to have fun, but you’re also making your relationship better and stronger.

Take a glamping trip

Add glamour to camping and you have “glamping” — an elevated camping experience. It’s like booking a hotel room, but the room itself is located on a camping site. Your girl will love this. It’s peaceful, serene, calm, and intimate.

Fly in a hot air balloon

If you like being extra, you can surprise her with a scenic hot air balloon ride for two. It will be a unique experience she’ll never forget.

You get to see breath-taking panoramic views of the world below; it’s definitely a sight worth seeing at least once in your life.

Go ice-skating

She’s probably never gone ice skating before since Colombia is a tropical country. There might be skating rinks in some malls in Medellin and Cali Colombia worth checking out. Maybe it’s time she gets to experience it for the first time. It’s a fun activity to do together.

Day date in a carnival

Drive to the nearest fair in town, play booth games, ride the roller coaster or Ferris wheel, and eat street food! Make your sweetheart feel young again in this enchanted place.

Visit Colombia

Lastly, one of the best gifts for a Colombian woman is surprising her with a trip to Colombia. She probably misses home and will be elated if she goes back for a vacation there. You could arrange a day with her family and friends; or, you could tour around the country. Either way, she’ll surely love it.

What are you waiting for? It’s time to plan a Valentine’s Day she’ll love! Preparation helps to make a date successful. So as early as now, think about what you’ll both do on the day of hearts.

A Special Day, For a Special Girl

Valentine’s Day or Día de Amor y Amistad, as they call it in Colombia, is a day to celebrate relationships. You don’t have to break the bank by spending an ungodly amount of money for it to be special.

Colombian women don’t mind as long as the thought and effort are there when spending this special holiday with them. No matter how small the gesture maybe, she’ll surely appreciate it.
