Hiking in the Minca Jungle
Hiking in the Minca Jungle
At the indicated time, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Santa Marta in a comfortable vehicle that will bring us to Minca, where we'll spend a full day!
After an hour's drive, we'll start a two-hour hike through the jungle of Minca, enjoying the lush vegetation of the area. Would you like to learn all about the biodiversity of Santa Marta? We'll find out!
We'll make a stop at a 'hacienda' or estate, where we'll talk about the preparation of coffee and its derivatives, and we'll even have the chance to drink some delicious freshly brewed coffee! Afterwards, we'll reach the beautiful El Oído del Mundo waterfall for a refreshing swim.
Have you worked up an appetite? We'll move on to a bamboo house where we'll enjoy a delicious gourmet lunch consisting of vegetables, meat, side dishes, and an aguapanela - an infusion made from panela which is derived from hardened sugar cane juice. The finishing touch to lunch will be the fantastic views and scenery of the Minca jungle you'll be able to enjoy, the perfect backdrop to your meal!
After lunch, we'll enjoy a sweet treat as the icing on the cake of this tour. We'll learn about all the steps in the elaborate process of making this cocoa drink, and we'll get to taste a cup too!
Finally, after a total of 8 hours, we'll return to Santa Marta and drop you off at your hotel.
