Minca
If you’re looking for a break from the sometimes oppressive heat of the Colombian Caribbean coast, then Minca is a perfect weekend escape from Santa Marta. In Minca, a little village in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta mountains, you can swim in mountain rivers, go hiking, visit a coffee or cacao farm, or just relax at one of the many lovely hotels and hostels and enjoy the sunset.
