Very fun trip in the Sierra Nevada, very impressive to see all the trees and the flowers. The trek wasn’t hard nor long, but you need to be a good swimmer to go in some parts of the river after. Learnt a lot about coffee and cacao.
Amazing trip! Really engaging tour, great swimming spot and the lunch was also super. Great day with great people 🙌
The experience with Pedro was amazing doing this tour, very close to explain the experience.
Excellent guides, very good tour
Our guide was very knowledgeable and kind. There were only two of us on the tour and he let us take our time with each stop and even took us to an extra viewpoint.
It is more a family farm visit than a Minca visit. The host was very nice and the visit very instructive. The best part was the terrasse at the restaurant where we had a great view on the mountains and could watch beautiful birds.
thanks for visiting us . I'm agree, The Restaurant whith the views to the mountains and The waterfalls on way to the river are amazing :)
Staring from the drive Pedro and the guide Mario the tour was amazing. Mario gave us so much information and shared many of his experiences in Minca. The waterfall was great and we practically had it to ourselves. Lunch was flavorful and tasty. The coffee finca and cacao ritual were great experiences in between the trekking. We did have to deal with crazy rain on the drive home but Pedro took care of us. 10/10 would recommend.
thanks for your amazing review. We are very happy to read this <3 always you are Welcoming in Minca!!
Went with bilingual (Spanish/English) guide Mario, who was very friendly and conversational. He provided interesting information about the local ecology and showed us beautiful locations in that part of the Sierra Nevada (including a less-used route up the popular waterfalls spot). The tour included a visit to a local small-batch coffee farm with complimentary tastings, and a chance to get single source, small batch organic coffee. We also met and spent time with a wonderful family at Finca de cafe y chocolate la Arhuaca, where we were served a delicious and nutritious soup of their garden products and who made and sold well-made hand woven woolen bags. At the end of the day, we stopped at an artisan goat milk ice cream shop in Minca. The landscape is amazing and much to explore -- only wish we had scheduled more days to be there!
yes, minca there are too much experience , its a magical place. The next time maybe more days to explore the town and waterfalls :) We are very happy to read this <3 always you are Welcoming in Minca
We had a very good day. From nature walks to coffee making to the cocoa ritual. We also enjoyed this swimming moment with our guides. A real moment of sharing and relaxation.
ohh great! thanks for your review. We are very happy you enjoy the tour!
