Wow, where should I start? Well this Hostel was DEFINITELY something new for us and we had such a good time! On our drive up to the Hostel we thought we were going to die (haha), but it was all so worth it. The views of the jungle are breathtaking, the pool is stunning, food is soooooo good and healthy, activities are great (the hikes and the yoga - loved it!) We met so many nice travelers as well and the staff was such a great team. Thank you soooo much guys, we would recommend this place to everyone <3

Really nice experience in Hostel Vista Verde! I only stayed 1 night but would’ve loved staying more nights there! I needed a room with 2 beds. The unit that was given to me included 2 queen size beds, with its pillows, sheets, and a covering against mosquitos (but it was not needed! The unit was clean and cozy, and the price was really good! The staff was amazing, Julia the owner was really nice, Steffany the cook, prepared a delicious dinner, and all the staff was nice, even Jualia’s son was quite adorable and has my name “Alvaro”. The hostel is around 45 min away from town, and you gotta climb a lot of hills, but it is worth the experience. In general I’d recommend this hotel!

Almost everyone we talked to wanted to stay at least a day longer than originally booked and for us it was clear why.

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.

Amazing place in beautiful nature! Food is great and the activities are highly recommended!

Newly built Twin Room with a really nice decoration and comfort. Great kitchen area to cook. One of the best HOT showers in my entire Colombia trip!! Nice views to the river and the jungle. 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.

Looking for a hostel?

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.
