Before choosing where to stay
Getting Around
Access requires a 45-minute drive from Santa Marta via taxi or shared transfer. Within Minca, walking or motorbike taxis are the primary modes of transport due to the steep, narrow roads.
Best Season
Year-round visits are possible, but the dry season (December to March) offers better road conditions and comfortable hiking. The rainy season brings lush vegetation but muddy trails.
