Treehouse 3 HIGUERÓN

I wanted to connect more with nature, I wanted silence, I wanted to connect with mother earth, but my expectations were far exceeded. Well, I don't want to spoil the surprise, but from the moment you enter the reception, you already know and sense how special your days there will be. The reserve is on the banks of the river, in a forest with ancient trees with abundant vegetation and singing birds. During the day, the walls become windows that open in a zig zag, in such a way that you are integrated and immersed in the vegetation, as if you were on an observation deck where you can reach and touch the trees. Contact with nature is direct and very special. Celmira's food is made with so much love and dedication that it nourishes the body but also the spirit. Lovely. It is difficult to decide the activity of the day, since all the options are wonderful. The trails of the Reserve, learning about botany and our relationship with the land left me with great teachings. The bath in the river was totally energizing, the pure water from the Sierra recharged me, the medicinal mud mask is a beautiful gift for our skin, the best exfoliation. The kindness and excellent attention of the entire human team made me feel at home, never like in a hotel, it is a big difference. I take them in my heart. I will be back, for sure!

Amazing! Would love to come back!!

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 :)

This is the perfect place to stay for a few days, a few weeks, or longer. The places are equipped with basic kitchen amenities, perfect for making meals to save on travel costs. There’s also an incredible kitchen on site, with a fully vegetarian/vegan menu. Despite not being either, I regularly enjoyed meals there, as the food was delicious. As for the room, the beds are large and comfortable, with lots of lighting options for late night reading. Instead of walls on two sides, the cabin is equipped with retractable screens, good for being open in the day, and keeping the bugs away at night. The beds are also fully encased in fly netting, so bugs are never a problem. The shower provides hot water and looks out over the jungle. It’s amazing to take a private shower, while at the same time feeling like you’re part of the natural surroundings. Mauricio and Kat are great hosts, always a phone call or text away, and really seem to care about the people they host. As the place is about a 5 minute taxi out of the main town (about a 15 minute walk), all you can hear is the sounds of the jungle wildlife, and the rushing river below. I can’t recommend this place enough, and decided to turn a week long stay into a month.

Recommend if you are truly in love with nature and looking for something different. clean and nice stay, i will come back again.

What a beautiful experience!!! The tree house was magical and everyone was so nice. The walk to the town is not far and there were lots of little restaurants. The pizza cafe next door (Ijak) was delicious and the owners were so nice! The wifi did not reach the room which is great to unplug but would be an issue for my fellow digital nomads trying to work with a view. 100% recommend!

Selva Minca is a stunning place to stay. Very relaxing atmosphere, where you can feel as one with nature in very well designed and comfortable cabins (or towers). The host Katrin is always available to help out with anything you may need to make sure you make the most of Minca. The food is also very good, with great vegetarian options.

Magic, magic, magic! If you are connected to nature or are looking to be this is the perfect place to come and leave the busy world behind. Take some deep breaths and go inward to find peace and serenity. This is more like a retreat than an Airbnb , it is delightful!

Tree house was a great experience. It is an open concept so be prepared for ants and obviously mosquitos. Walk down is a bit of a trek so be sure to have a light and shoes with grip. Regular luggage isn’t ideal to carry either. Airbnb is about 1mi from the center city. We walked most of the time, but not ideal after sunset. Also lots of incline. Overall Airbnb location beautiful. Food was great and tours were also offered. Katrin was very responsive and brought us flashlights when our light when out in the shower.

This place is a must see if you like to connect more with nature and its surroundings. The treehouse is beautiful and well equipped! We loved waking up to the sounds of the birds. The yoga classes were great as well! However, I was not very fond of the communication. I felt like I was asking too many questions. We extended our stay with 2 more nights because we loved the calmness. But they never offered to provide us with clean towels, though everything gets wet during the night because you’re still in the forest. Also, they don’t really have drinks at the restaurant. Not even juices during the day. We decided to get meals at the place next doors, Siembra.
