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
Can I add more stars? This was a magical stay and a highlight of my trip to Colombia. Everything was amazing - the staff, the food, the other guests, the hiking, the treehouse, the shower - I could go on and on. I am already planning a return trip!
We had an amazing stay! thanks!
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!
