Workation in Minca: the essentials
Up a winding road from Santa Marta, at about 650 m in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada, Minca is a village of coffee and cacao farms, waterfalls and birdwatching trails. It is noticeably cooler and greener than the coast below, and travellers come for the mountain air and for hammocks with views down to the sea. Accommodation is mostly guesthouses and eco-lodges, comfortable long-stay apartments are scarce, and mobile coverage fades higher up, so test the connection before committing to a lodge. Simón Bolívar airport at Santa Marta is about 12 km away in a straight line.
