Minca - Are tour guide was Mario. First class and very knowledge about the forest and surrounding area. Loved the day and a fantastic experience. Would highly recommend this trip .and be sure to ask for Mario

Beautiful experience - Excellent guide from Laura and Gonzalo. Very informed, very good treatment. The place is worth visiting...I would definitely choose them again

Pure nature in Santa Marta - Incredibly beautiful, easy to get there. Very tasty food. Original menu. Friendly and very nice people. I would go there several times.

Tour with Gonzalo! - Beautiful experience, where the beauty of the landscapes was combined with the accompaniment of an exceptional guide, GONZALO! A lot of knowledge of the place, but the kindness, sympathy and empathy made this tour unmissable! I recommend it 100%!

Unforgetable experience - We could not choose a better tour to get to know Minca, not only the kindness and closeness of its guides, but also the history and the tasting of the coffee and cocoa was very enriching. In addition, the excursion through the Minca jungle is unmatched, they guided us through the less crowded areas of this wonderful landscape. Without a doubt we recommend it if you want to have a quality experience and personalized service and attention, a factor that makes the experience even more unforgettable.

Mario was an excellent... - Mario was an excellent guide for this all-day tour. The coffee and cocoa information was top notch, and Mario was meticulous about the preparation of both, which made the tastings even more of a treat. The highlight for me walking to the Oido del Mundo waterfall and spending time enjoying the area. I appreciated that there was a little time to see Minca and a few of teh vendors in town. Also, the traditional lunch provided was delicious.

Minca tour - Awesome tour, our tour guide Mario was amazing. He was very knowledgeable and this tour exceeded our expectations!!!

Interesting experience but not accurately described… - I think I would not recommend this particular trip although I did enjoy the drive up into the mountains ( they sent a taxi, not a guide) and seeing the interesting little town of Minca and the surrounding forest and streams. I just want to point out some facts without going into specifics about every little thing. As an experienced Airbnb host, I think the description of the offering should be specific and accurate and the description I saw was not. The picture on the website of a waterfall is not what you visit, although we did visit a different site with very small waterfalls and had a nice swim in the river. There is no visit to a coffee or chocolate plantation, both demonstrations are given sitting at a table in a restaurant and are about 20 minutes each of talking. We did not see a coffee plant or a cacao plant at all. Friendly and informative presenter, but hardly an immersive experience. The promise of “ make your own chocolate bar” consists of mixing a blob of paste on your palm (no napkin or utensil) and licking it off. Not professional. Most importantly, the walk through the jungle did not have an English-speaking guide although he was a nice guy and did try. A bit. Therefore those who had no Spanish could merely follow along and pretty much the only information given was the name of a few fruits, which I think anybody would have already known. I was hoping to learn about the area and other interesting info, but no. And the hike, about 30 minutes in and 30 minutes out, had some challenging spots including crossing a wide rapidly flowing stream and scrambling over some difficult rock formations. No problem for the people in our group but this really should have been described in advance. There are other Minca trips that include hikes but this was not described as one of them. That is some info you should have. Nice people, but the tour needs various changes to merit 4 or 5 stars in my opinion.

Great taste of Minka - Excellent explanation and different coffee products to try, followed by a swim in beautiful refreshing waterfalls, a tasty lunch, and short but fun cocoa workshop where we made our own truffle ball (to eat immediately). It was a fun trip and nice to escape Santa Marta for the day. Only negatives were the delay in arrival time due to confusion about the pick up location of other passengers coming into our car (their hotel was in the next suburb and not the Santa Marta one we waited at), and our group was made to choose between swimming at the nicer waterfalls or visiting the coffee farm - majority picked waterfalls but a couple of others were disappointed.

Mixed bag - It started out great, Mario was very entertaining and informative about coffee production, and ended great with the chocolate demonstration at the Minca viewpoint. But lunch was soso and served slowly at 1:30 or 2, and we did not have an English guide to the waterfall or coffee plantation, as was advertised.
