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
AMAZING. If you’re looking to be in the mountains relaxing, hike, swim in the river, or do yoga, this is the place for you. The views were impeccable. They offer restaurant service which is very good(all vegan)! Everyone was very nice and welcoming. We saw a lot of pretty birds from our room alone. Something to be aware of: we left the doors open for some time and a lot of mosquitoes got into the room. Fortunately there is a net around the bed to be able to sleep comfortably. After all, this is Mother Nature ☺️
Selva Minca is a magnificent place! Mauricio and Katrin's attention is impeccable, they make you feel at home. The facilities masterfully combine comfort and ecological living. The food prepared with fresh and vegetarian ingredients is excellent. I recommend this experience with closed eyes.
Amazing! Would love to come back!!
