Full Day Sierra Minca

Due to some error, the organisation forgot to pick me up. They corrected this by sending a taxi for transport to the starting place. Important detail that I missed while booking: this is an activity by motorcycle! You just get on the back with the guide driving you around, no helmet, no safety. Everyone drives around like that, but coming from a place where full safety is the norm, this felt quite… well, unsafe. The waterfall was beautiful, the view from Sierra Minca as well. We waited almost two hours for the lunch, and overstayed in my opinion on the top of the mountain. After a descent through mud (it had rained in the meantime) we got a small chocolate workshop. Fun, but nothing special. The trip was ok, but felt lacking for the price and time invested.

Excellent trip to waterfalls and a beautiful hotel, highly recommended. Great guides, great views, great fun.

We were overwhelmed by the aggressive vendors in Cartagena, so we decided to escape to Santa Marta for the last few days of our vacation. We’d heard about Minca and booked a last-minute Full Day Minca Extreme tour since our hotel was unable to accommodate the type of tour we wanted. Viator contracted Tovar Extreme Adventure for our day. A driver picked us up for the private 40-minute ride to Minca. It was nice that they picked us up at 9am, so we got to sleep in a bit and grab breakfast. When we arrived, we were greeted by the owner and his 2 sons. We were a little surprised to find out we’d be touring the mountain on the back of each son’s motorcycles. Luckily, we’re adventurous so we embraced it but I can see some guests being thrown off by it. The boys (they’re 23 and 21 but lol like absolute teenagers!) were impeccable guides. Even with my kindergarten-level Spanish, they were able to point out unique things like plants and animals and history during the tour. The took amazing pictures of us at the Minka Waterfalls and made sure we had plenty of time at each stop. From the chocolate tasting to lounging at Sierra Minka, it was a relaxing and fun day!
