  The wonderful places but the organization has not liked. Unlike other tours where I was contacted the day before, this one I had to contact... this morning they arrived 40 min late and I didn't know how to contact them since to the number indicated in Viator, no one answered either calls or WhatsApp. I found the guide very unprofessional for several reasons: 1. He always spoke in English and after a long speech translated the last sentence into Spanish, I have asked him more times to repeat it in Spanish, but at one point he has been angry and from there I have been silent, therefore I enjoyed the tour half x lack of understanding 2. Running, walking very fast x roads not always easy, and leaving people far but far behind 3. Only in 2 very dangerous points has helped people, along the way we have helped each other between participants. If it wasn't for the companions... 4. He knew a lot being a biologist but he gave us a talk about the animals of Amazonia that, even if very. Interesting(x how little I understood English) had nothing to do with Minca Apart from that the wonderful places very untouristic and beautiful

• Tour is the same tour as the cheapest Option - book the cheaper tour!

  Do not book this tour. Book the cheaper tour because it is literally the same tour. We specifically booked this tour because the description sounded like it is more about hiking and waterfalls but it was EXACTLY the same program as the cheaper tour. The other participants paid not even half of the price because they booked the cheaper tour and we paid almost 80$ for the exact same tour. We even talked to the operator and to jungle joe (who is responsible) and he just told us that they only do this tour and it is always this tour, so for your sake book the cheaper tour and save yourself some money. We complained to them and even requested a partial refund but the operator (jungle Joe) denied a refund. What a scam. Nevertheless the tour itself (if you don’t pay the overpriced scam tour) was partially okay. I would say the “hiking” is definitely not worth it because you can explore the area by yourself. There are good trails, it is safe, you can’t get lost. The lunch was okay and the lady did a good job with cooking but that doesn’t justify the tour either, I would rather suggest to eat somewhere locally, you don’t hike far away so no need for that lunch. The coffee farm with explanation and the cocoa workshop was pretty interesting and the best part of the tour but therefore I would recommend to just book that separately, way cheaper, you can easily walk there by yourself, it is 15min by foot and there are signs everywhere. Just ask around in Minca and explore the area by yourself, it is a way better experience. What I would like to mention is the tour guide from the other group - Toni - he is a natural activist and gave us all a biodiversity speech which was super interesting and you could really see that he is passionate about what he does. If you really wanna book a tour at least make sure to go with him!

  This was such a good tour to spend a full day in Minca. We hiked to a coffee farm, saw some fantastic nature along the way. Then hiked to a waterfall and had the option to jump in. Afterwards, we traveled on foot again to a cocoa farm. There we had a lovely lunch, learned about the animals in the area and got to make some chocolate. Best hot chocolate I've ever had. We really enjoyed how passionate our tour guide was about the land and nature. I would warn that some of the hike is a bit strenuous so just be prepared!

  We really enjoyed this day trip to Minca. We were collected right from our hostel and brought to the meeting point of this trek in Minca. We returned the same way. Our guide Tony was very good. Very enthusiastic. We were brought to a local organic coffee farm, sampled the coffee and had a talk on the process of harvesting, fermenting and roasting coffee. We had a chance to swim in the rivers rock pools, so would recommend packing swim wear and a towel. This was very refreshing and really enjoyed it. The lunch in Jungle Joe's was very good and filling. The views from this spot were spectacular. After lunch there was a talk from Tony on all things nature, about the local reptiles and birds that inhabit the surrounding jungle. Then we had a talk about the Cacao plant, got to sample raw and dried out cacao and even got to make our own chocolate. It was really interesting and this was my favorite part of the whole day. It's a very humid part of the world so be prepared. Would definitely recommend good trek shows and bringing your mosquito repellent. And definitely bring a rain coat/poncho. It was not forcasted to rain but there were some downpours.

  We were picked up in a taxi at our Airbnb which was fantastic. We drove to Minca and were immediately greeted by our guide Tony. We met up with the rest of the group and got a brief intro to the day. We then hiked to the coffee farm and waterfall. It is a long walk with a few short breaks to learn about the ecosystem. Everyone enjoyed this. The coffee demonstration was great followed by a much needed swim! We headed back on an even longer walk for lunch and more learning. When we finally got to lunch, the food was incredible. We learned about the animals in Colombia, a bit about the bamboo architecture, and then we learned about cocoa and had lots of samples and we each made our own chocolate bar! Our guide was very passionate and knowledgeable. They spoke both English and Spanish throughout the trip. It was a long day but learned lots, got good exercise, and would recommend.

  

  

  

  

  

  

• Good… but could be better

  The group was too large. For one guide there was approximately 15 travelers and despite being prompted to select a language at sign up the whole tour was in both Spanish and English so all of the talking sections took twice as long as they needed to. This would have been far better if the group was split into two with dedicated languages. That extra time would have been way better spent at the waterfalls or in the town afterwards. The “hike” was just following a dirt road, which isn’t inherently bad but manage expectations if you’re imagining hiking through the mountains on trails. Aside from those two complaints the tour was quite nice with the cacao being the highlight for me.

  The fresh air and tranquility of the place offer a total disconnection from the daily stress. I enjoyed hiking its trails surrounded by flora and fauna, visiting crystal clear waterfalls and drinking coffee directly from local farms.

  

• Informative, Fun Coffee/Chocolate Experience!

  Very informative. The guide had a lot of knowledge about coffee and the ecology of the area, and it was great that he did the tour in both Spanish and English. The woman who did the presentation on chocolate was also amazing and we even had a local singer/songwriter provide musical entertainment at the beautiful restaurant where we had a delicious lunch. Very much worth doing! Of course it was great we got to sample the coffee and the chocolate!
