Minca, the charming mountain town in Colombia, has become a hot spot for travelers in recent years. It’s all about immersing yourself in nature here, with hostels vying to offer the most stunning sunset views and serene spots along the river. Where you choose to stay in Minca can truly shape your experience, and having spent quite a bit of time there, I can point you towards some top options.
Booking ahead is wise since the best hostels in Minca tend to fill up fast – I learned this the hard way when my top choice was fully booked for weeks! By using Hostelworld, you can secure your spot early and still have the flexibility to cancel if plans change.
While Minca town itself has its own charm with nice eateries and cafes, staying a bit outside town offers a more immersive experience. I highly recommend opting for accommodations on the outskirts or in more remote locations for a truly memorable stay.
For those looking to stay close to the town center, Casa Loma Minca is a standout choice. Perched on a hill, this hostel offers breathtaking views from its multiple viewing decks, creating a social atmosphere perfect for mingling. Though the climb up may be a bit challenging, the unique perspective from above the treetops is truly worth it.
On the southern edge of town, Costeno River Minca provides unspoiled jungle views and even a swimming pool for a refreshing dip. While not as high up as Casa Loma, it offers a more convenient location just a short walk from the town center.
For a slightly more secluded stay, Rio Elemento Ecolodge, located by the river north of town, offers a range of accommodation options amidst lush surroundings. With a focus on sustainability, this lodge provides a range of facilities including a large swimming pool and a private trail to the river.
If you’re seeking a more immersive nature experience, consider staying outside of Minca at places like Finca Carpe Diem Ecolodge or Mundo Nuevo Eco Lodge. These eco-friendly retreats offer a tranquil setting surrounded by nature, perfect for those looking to unwind and connect with the environment.
Jungle Joe Ecolodge, situated west of Minca, is another sustainable option offering a unique forest experience. This lodge is known for its stunning sunset views, bird-watching tours, and comfortable accommodations.
Whether you prefer to stay in the heart of Minca or venture into the wilderness, there are plenty of hostel options to suit every traveler’s taste. Use the map to explore more lodging choices and find the perfect place to stay in Minca.
