What’s Selva Minca?
SelvaMinca is a nature reserve in the Colombian rainforest, just 40 minutes from the Santa Marta airport. Immersed in an old-growth forest and a majestic river are seven ecolodges where you will feel secluded from civilization, yet enjoy modern comforts. We offer an assortment of uplifting activities that will help you obtain wellness bliss.
Minca
If you are planning a trip to the Northern Coast of Colombia, you’ll want to include Minca in your itinerary. Perched in the Sierra Nevada mountains is a small village overlooking the Caribbean coast. With less than 1000 inhabitants, this locale is a hidden treasure well worth the detour.
In 1980, UNESCO declared Minca a World Heritage Site, Biosphere, and Mankind Reserve. Its privileged location between bustling Santa Marta beach and the Sierra Nevada mountain ranges make it a unique site. The tropical rainforest has temperatures ranging between 62 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit and the trees reach a height of 40 meters.
Minca is home to 19 species of native birds; however, you’ll have the opportunity to see up to 162 species. These include toucans, macaws, sparrows, oropendolas and even 20 varieties of hummingbirds.
Reconnect with Nature
Total immersion experience, starry nights, dawn with the cooing of the birds and the whisper of the river, walks full of content and learning, respect and affection for this great ecosystem.
What our guests say
The place is spectacular, the food is delicious, the attention is 1A. Highly recommended
What a magical place! We had an incredible time here, the Treehouse was beautifully decorated and had everything we could need. The location is stunning, right in the middle of the jungle, it's the ideal place to unwind and connect with nature. We loved the hammock and the outdoor shower! Everyone was so lovely and went out of their way to make us feel welcome! An unforgettable experience, would recommend to everyone!
This place is immaculate- the nature, the food, the yoga and everything else in between was more than I expected. From the Santa Marta airport, the team at Selva Minca will take care of you, ensuring you get a fair priced cab and well worth having someone drive you. Houses and hikes are breathless and highly recommend going for the half day hike where you see the waterfalls! Overall an unbelievable experience and will be back for an extended stay!
