Highlights
What makes this tour unique is its authentic approach. More than visiting places, you will live a real immersion in the peasant life of Minca, sharing with local families and knowing artisan coffee and cocoa processes from their origin. Unlike other tours, here you don’t just watch : you actively participate in experiences like the chocolate sensory workshop, where you will create your own bar and connect with cocoa in a practical and fun way. In addition, we combine adventure and nature with hikes on real mountain trails, access to the Heard of the World waterfall and a special dining experience at Casa Jocolate, where you will enjoy a homemade lunch with a panoramic view over Santa Marta. It is a carefully designed experience, ideal for those seeking genuine connection, sustainability and memorable moments beyond traditional tourism.

About Santa Marta
Santa Marta is Colombia's oldest surviving colonial city, a Caribbean port below the Sierra Nevada and close to Tayrona Park and the Lost City trail.
Founded by the Spaniards in 1525, Santa Marta is the oldest surviving colonial city in Colombia, set on a bay where the Sierra Nevada, the highest coastal mountain range on earth, drops almost to the sea. Simón Bolívar died in 1830 at the Quinta de San Pedro Alejandrino, a hacienda just outside the centre, now a museum with botanical gardens. The old town has a cathedral, a seafront promenade and a gold museum in a colonial house.
Top-ranked sights in Santa Marta: Lost City (Ciudad Perdida), Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta National Park, Tayrona National Park (Parque Nacional Natural Tayrona).
