The bird nest was incredible, spacious, beautiful construction, a very comfortable bed. It is also suitable for families because it has a sofa that can be a made as double bed! The room has beautiful views, perfect for birdwatching. Very friendly staff. The walk to the hidden waterfall is beautiful, Katrin, who is biologist, tells you a lot about the plants, trees and animals. And do yoga, sunset yoga on the rooftop and morning yoga on the beautiful river side. Take a fresh swim after. We love this place. Highly Recommended!

Selva Minca did not disappoint. It really is a little piece of heaven, tucked away from the noise of the town. This place is really for those that wish to get away from the city life, and be amongst nature. The treehouse was cleverly designed, allowing us to open the fly screens and literally feel like we are a part of the surrounding forest. The bed was very comfortable and a good size for two people. Downstairs there is a hot water shower and bathroom that look out on to the forest, and was absolutely wonderful to bathe in. There’s also a little kitchenette, perfect for making basic meals. Although, the restaurant on the property is a great alternative for those not wanting to cook. The menu is fully vegetarian, and everything we tried was delicious. The staff was always friendly, and eager to help, and communication with the host was exceptional. The walk to and from town is beautiful and takes about 15mins there and 20mins back, and we did it almost everyday. Moto-taxi’s are available at all times for those that don’t wish to walk, and it’s takes less then 5mins to and from. Thank you Selva Minca, Mauricio and Katrin for the excellent stay, we hope to return soon.

The cabin is a wonderful place to spend a few days and disconnect from the outside world. The property is not far from the town and you can walk to waterfalls nearby, but you don’t really need to. Waking up to an orchestra of birds and cicadas, going for a dip in the river and practicing yoga in the middle of the forest were my favorite things to do in Minca. The only thing that was a bit of a disappointment was the kitchen, which was very basic and not enough to cook a simple meal. Eventually I was able to use an electric stove from the neighboring cabin to make eggs or pasta. That said, the staff was willing to provide anything I needed, like pots and pans, and quick to respond. Also the food offered at the restaurant is good and not expensive. A heads up for digital nomads: wifi is not available in the cabin, just in the restaurant/reception area, but the cell service works well (I used my phone data most of the time). I would say this place is more suitable for a short retreat like stay 🙂
