Tucked away in the Sierra Nevada mountains, remote Minca is seemingly a world away from the bustling city of Santa Marta just down the Caribbean coast. It's also at altitude, so remember to bring an extra layer or two as the temperatures here are cooler than they are at sea level. Your Minca adventure includes a full-day tour, and you'll start at one of the Coffee Farms in the region. After learning about the production process, you'll visit the natural swimming hole of Pozo Azul for a refreshing dip, so bring your bathing suit! Enjoy some free time and have lunch before you embark on an afternoon walking tour of Minca's town center. Alternatively, visit the hummingbird balcony at Hotel Minca, where you can relax and observe the hundreds of hummingbirds that feed there. If time permits, you can also visit the beautiful waterfalls of Marinka.
