The owner Julia is amazing host, very kind, friendly, always ready to help, ful of information. Place itself is like a little heaven, with amazing view and scenery, very peaceful and mind resting. The hostel and furniture are new. The ambience is very nice and everything is also nicely decorated. We loved staying there and we didn't have any need to go to Minca since the village is very noisy and busy. They have also very delicious breakfasts and dinners. Location is on the hill from where you have perfect starting point to the most attractive hikes and waterfalls. Place was one of the highlights of Colombia. Highly recommended.

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.

To get to the property it's necessary to go through the Village of Bonda, since the Finca Carpe Diem Ecolodge is located on the other side of the mountain. The property is set in the Minca Region, but the exact location is Paso del Mango, a tropical valley in the Minca area.

Everything was perfect, hiking and other activities organized by the hotel (coffee tour etc), dorms, food and drinks, staff and guests, the view over mountain and jungle, swimmingpools (3 of them!)… Thanks for this magical stay !

Don't miss the private river access and their sunset view point, it's unreal!! Super nice staff, they helped me with my tours and hikes and gave me a map of the town and surroundings. It's very close to the town but set in nice Nature. I would definitely recommend casa Mango if you visit Minca.

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    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.

    Honestly the best hostel I have ever stayed in. The view is out of this world! Surrounded by nature and the sound of the birds, it was true paradise. As a solo traveller I was worried it would be hard to meet people but it was very social, and although you can't leave really for dinner, you really didn't need to because the food was next level. Everything about my stay was perfect and I'd go back in a heartbeat (I tried to in fact but it was fully booked - a testament to how great it is!)

    Loved the location, the pool, the restaurant, the hummingbird feeders, everything. The breakfast was simple but very good. The women working reception were so helpful and lovely. After staying in cheap hostels for several weeks this felt luxurious but still affordable. I extended my stay 3 times.

    An absolute dream. Probably the best hostel I've stayed in whilst travelling Colombia. Dorms were comfortable and spotless. Staff were lovely. Food was excellent and reasonably priced. Bit of a trek to get there but it is 100% worth it. Everyone we met wanted to extend their stay. Also pool views were amazing. Just perfect.
