Minca: Mountain Biking Adventure

Embark on a mountain biking adventure through the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. Traverse lush coffee plantations, tackle challenging trails, and enjoy panoramic views of the Caribbean Sea.
Embark on an exhilarating mountain biking adventure through the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, the highest coastal mountain range in the world, reaching 5,775 meters. This stunning natural wonder, with its diverse ecosystems ranging from tropical dry forests to cloud forests and snow-capped peaks, provides a spectacular backdrop for your journey. Known for its incredible biodiversity, including a wealth of endemic bird species, the Sierra Nevada offers breathtaking views of the Caribbean Sea and the Ciénaga Grande de Santa Marta.

Your adventure begins with a scenic 45-minute drive from Santa Marta to the historic Hacienda Cafetera La Victoria. Here, you’ll explore a coffee farm with 40 hectares of lush coffee plantations and an innovative water-powered production system. After a fascinating tour and a cup of freshly brewed coffee, you'll receive a detailed briefing and technical induction on the mountain biking route from your guide.

Next, continue to the village of El Campano, located at 1,000 meters above sea level, where your cycling adventure begins. Prepare for an exciting ride as you tackle short but challenging climbs and enjoy a stop at a stunning viewpoint offering panoramic vistas of the sea and snow-capped mountains. The journey then leads you downhill to the refreshing Arimaka waterfalls, where you’ll have about an hour to cool off with a swim.

The final leg of your ride takes you to the charming village of Minca, where you can unwind with a local beer before making your way back to Santa Marta.
