    The hike into the property is long - about 1.6 km total from the centre of town. It’s fine during the day, but is buggy in the afternoon and there is absolutely no lighting at night, meaning you’re hiking through the jungle with your flashlights - I wish there was some solar lighting or something to guide your path once you’re on the property. There’s a bridge that’s quite rickety you have to cross - really hope this gets fixed soon! And be prepared to see lots of critters in your room - the bungalows aren’t completely sealed and the netting is a bit old, so there were a lot of bugs, a few geckos, and even a bird at one point. This is manageable but I do wish the mosquito netting on the bed was more secure for peace of mind.

    It’s a beautiful property with a lot of charm - the farm birds and cats were awesome to interact with, the room is beautiful and spacious with a super comfortable bed, and Nore is incredibly kind and so accommodating! Breakfast was great as well. Really enjoyed hanging out at Minca Glamping during the day - it’s a great place to just relax.

    Nothing. Perfect. Loved it!

    Comfortable cabins out in the forest a short walk from town. Incredibly friendly staff and great breakfast. If you like the sound of the forest, incredible birds and a sense of peace and isolation for total relaxation, this is the place for you (if you don’t like insects or a walk to the place over a rickety bridge then maybe not - for me this was part of the charm). Lots to do nearby - cocoa/coffee tours, visit to waterfalls and early morning birdwatching - all highly recommended. And there are great food and coffee spots in town - but don’t come back too late unless you have a good torch!

    Watch out for the mosquitos - it took them 5 min to bite all around my legs.

    Location - 10-15 minutes walk from the center, through safe area. To get to the cabin, located literarilly in the jungle, one has to walk up-hill for about 7 minutes (from the gate): through the jungle, corssing the river via the hanging bridge, hoping over the creek. And the experience itself, worth every money! The staff helps to carry the luggage, if necessarily. The cabin, very comfortable (great comfortable bed, hammock, coffee machine) is located in the jungle what makes it a true sanctuary! Especially that despite heat and no air conditioning (the cabin's 3 walls are made of metal net) there is very pleasent low temperature, and fresh air. The staff is friendly and helpful, the breakfast excellent. You can truły relax there, enjoy the nature, birds (including hen and cats).

    - For us it was not a problem, but please be affraid that road and connection to the Minca Glamping could not be easy for small kids or older people- it is steep and requires some effort

    - Such a wonderful and nice hosts! They are really helpful and kind - Delicuous breakfasts - Incredible views and opportunity to watch birds - Nearly there is a small coffe plantation - you can buy a local coffee and take some pictures with a tucan :)

    What we at first didn’t like became part of the adventure. It’s a ten minute walk into Minca town but first you have to walk 15 minutes from your cabin to the road through the jungle on a trail with stairs and hills and crossing a River on a bamboo bridge. It’s part of the experience of the place and the owners son helps you with your bags when you arrive and leave.

    Amazing spot in Minca to enjoy the jungle sounds and have a peaceful time. We loved our cabana with hammocks, the hosts, the breakfasts. The cabana is gorgeous with bamboo and mosquito nets and amazing shower with jungle views. Having screens for walls really immerses you in the tropical rainforest.

    Location is amazing. Right in the middle of the nature! The family that runs the place is so kind in helpful. I had my foot injured and they offered to help me with my luggage (which was huge by the way). You feel that you are part of family there, they explain a lot of things about wildlife and plants, even they have a natural pool & jacuzzi ...if ypu go there it worth to give a try. The road until you reach the reception is so beautiful..really liked the bamboo bridge! They can help with organising tour (don't miss the birding tour in Minca)...also they organised my shuttle to the airport and everything went so smoothly. Thank you so much for a delicious breakfast and all the experiente that you offer for each person that stays at Minca Glamping. Definitely a place where I would like to come back. Feliz Navidad!

    Could be a note in description about 20 minute walk to accommodation (we would have worn proper shoes !) Coffee at breakfast very weak.

    Felt like own private jungle cabin with comfy hammock inside. We enjoyed being able to make our own (strong) coffee in the morning and to sit on the balcony area watching and listening to the birds. Appreciate the free filter water top up and breakfast was good.

    Access to the place - quite a long walk, no taxis drop you at the location, when getting to the place it has a muddy uneven path, crossing bridges etc if you have poor knees and ankles or not the right shoes I wouldn’t recommend staying here, also only cold showers.

    Off the grid, relaxing, great views.

    It was my favorite activity of my 3 weeks travel in Colombia! I loved my stay there! It was like a fairy tail, relaxing into this jungle, with all of the nature, the diversity of the plants around us, waking up in the morning by the birds, walking through the river to go out. It was a paradise! Of course the hosts were so hospital and incredible! This experience will always stay in my memory!

    Be aware of the walk, it is quite long from Minca central and through some muddy jungle paths but we didn't mind as that means you feel more secluded and peaceful which is what we wanted.

    The hosts Nore and Carlos are really good and lovely people. The place feels like you are in the jungle and waking up to a view of mountains and the sounds of the jungle was wonderful. View this as an experience not just a place to stay.

    Our favourite stay in Columbia so far! Only a 15min walk from Minca town and also close to two beautiful waterfalls (the hotel provides all the information you need). Our villa was clean and spacious with a queen bed, luxury bathroom, coffee machine and seating area. It was surrounded by forest and wildlife so we didn’t have to go far to see amazing animals like Toucans! The lady running the site was really friendly and helpful. She helped us book a coffee tour next door and helped us to spot the Toucans! We wish we had stayed longer. Thank you!

    Just need to know that there is 10 min walk in the forest to the cabin. Better not bring big bags or suitcase.

    In the middle of the jungle, very private. The family that runs the camp is very very nice and helpful.

    We really enjoyed the time at Minca Glamping. The location outside of the village, in the middle of nature, was perfect for us. We loved our little cabin very much. The open design gave us the feeling of sleeping outside. The noises from all the animals were amazing. In addition, everything was super clean and comfortably furnished. The breakfast was delicious and the owners were very friendly and helpful.

    Nothing. It was all great.

    We loved everything. The family/staff were wonderful; very friendly and helpful. We were given a wonderful fruit drink at check-in. The accommodation was wonderful and the environment great. The accommodation is open to the outside with screening and it makes for a wonderful sleeping and relaxing experience. The quality of the accommodation, chairs, hammocks, while rustic are very good quality and totally fit with the cabins. The bamboo construction is just wonderful. If you want the ideal get away and relaxation spot you will not find better. I also liked that while you are definitely in the jungle the grounds are lightly gardened and tended which just adds to the beauty.
