Offering a terrace and views of the garden, Masaya Casas Viejas is set 30 minutes away from Minca in the Magdalena Region by 4x4 or motorcycle, and 12 mi from Santa Marta.

Absolutely amazing stay in Masaya casa viejas. It’s got a beautiful view, very clean and great food. The waterfall tour that the hostel runs is brilliant also. The hostel is 25-30 minutes from Minka so you need to get a motorbike or 4x4 to reach it. Really recommend!

Located alongside a crystalline river and surrounded by the jungle and mountain views, Finca Carpe Diem Ecolodge offers accommodation 18 km from Santa Marta and 14 km from Tayrona Park.

Amazing location, the staff was nice and the food was good + reasonably priced (that's a specific point because you don't really have another option than eating there). The pools and cocktail bar at the top of the hill were great as well, we did more relaxing and less hiking than we expected :)

We loved our stay at Mano Verde! It was so comfortable and welcoming. The food was delicious and plentiful. They had routes for hikes available and were happy to call you a moto whenever. We didn’t want to leave!

    I just loved this hostel. It was by far the best hostel we’ve stayed in South America on our 3 month trip. The room was amazing and felt like a luxurious hotel (we were in the private bedroom with a balcony). We have started to dread the free hostel breakfasts on our trip but this one was amazing as it wasn’t buffet style, we could order off the menu. The food and drinks prices were really reasonable considering you couldn’t buy your food from anywhere else! I would highly recommend adding this hostel to your Columbia itinerary.

    Great location, really comfy beds. If you want a quiet place to relax and chill then this is the spot for you. It feels like you've rented a house, really enjoyed having the big kitchen. The wifi was great, and I was able to work during the day around the hostel and even from my bed. Also the property has 4 mango trees, which comes with an unlimited amount of free mangos all day.

    Great hostel in the middle of Getsemani. We booked a private room which was quite pricey and did not have a window. However, we still enjoyed our stay and would recommend the hostel as it is super new and clean and at a great location. Some of our fellow travellers said that some of the dorms are small and others are not.
