Explore the glorious surroundings of Minca with rivers, waterfalls and magnificent views. First we will enjoy Pozo Azul, a beautiful waterfall with refreshing water from the Sierra Nevada. To swim there is a great start of the day. Then we’ll move to the coffee farm La Victoria. During the coffee tour we'll come to know everything about coffee and the history of the farm. After La Victoria we'll have lunch and then we will visit one more waterfall Cascada Marinka, where we can swim once more before leaving to Santa Marta.
Start your morning with one of Minca’s most famous waterfalls. We pick you up at 7:00 AM so you can arrive at Pozo Azul before the crowds and enjoy this jungle gem in peace. Dive into the refreshing crystal-clear pools, surrounded by lush greenery and the soothing sound of rushing water. Visiting early makes all the difference—you’ll often have the cascades almost to yourself, creating a tranquil and unforgettable start to the day.
Next, visit La Victoria Coffee Farm, founded in 1892 by English engineers and still one of Colombia’s oldest working plantations. Walk through the plantation, see original machinery from London and New York that is still in operation today, and learn how coffee is cultivated, harvested, and roasted in the Sierra Nevada. This is a hands-on, immersive experience that takes you through the entire journey of coffee—from bean to cup. To complete the visit, enjoy a freshly brewed tasting with the distinctive flavors that make this mountain-grown coffee so unique.
Lunch in Minca After the coffee experience, relax and savor a traditional lunch in Minca town. Your guide will take you to a carefully selected local spot where you can enjoy authentic regional flavors.
