Minca is a treasure nestled in the mountains, just 13 km from Santa Marta.
This picturesque place is known as the ecological capital of the Sierra Nevada, and it’s a destination that combines nature, adventure, and dreamlike landscapes.

Itinerary
We start the day at approximately 8:30 AM, ready for adventure. We’ll pick you up at your hotel and head to Minca; this journey takes about 45 minutes, depending on traffic.
At 700 meters above sea level, this paradise welcomes you with the song of birds and trails to explore. We begin with a 20-minute hike crossing a river, until we reach the waterfall—a natural gem with a 25-meter drop. Feeling up for a refreshing swim? Afterwards, enjoy a delicious local lunch before continuing on the trail.
The adventure continues with a 50-minute walk along ecological paths and through the cool tropical forest, until reaching a panoramic viewpoint with spectacular views of Santa Marta. We close the day with a stop in the town of Minca, where you’ll savor a cup of organic coffee and apply a chocolate face mask. From there, we return along the same route to catch the transport back to Santa Marta.
