Very organized trip - I had a great time. It was very educational and perfect day to spend time in the mountains. It is important to eat a good breakfast and bring at least 3L of water. The tour guide stopped every few minutes and keep the group in the same pace. We got some samples to take home of artisinal coffee and chocolate. The view and lunch were delicious.

I had a wonderful travel... - I had a wonderful travel experience. Everything was coordinated well from pick up and drop off in santa marta. Lunch was excellent. The tour guides were very informative and entertaining. You are able to buy small samples of artisan coffee and the original coffee beans here. I was with a group and everyone was friendly and helpful. Its important to bring hiking shoes and at least 3 litres of water due to the terrain and humidity to last you the 8 hours.

Beautiful nature! - Martin is an excellent guide! He knows a lot about nature and can effortlessly switch from Spanish to English. He has guided us along roads where no tourists go and is quite beautiful and unspoilt. I definitely recommend it. Niv of the hike is average.

I met my expectations the south of the Minca, due to bad weather they could not make the south of the aquarium, but I reintegrated - Hotel pickup was on time, we had a day with quite a lot of experience who spoke in Spanish and English, the tour in the mine, knowledge of coffee and cocoa was a beautiful experience, so I highly recommend it.

Lecture based with one waterfall - The tour title mentions “waterfalls,” which suggests more than one. In reality, we were taken to just a single waterfall and given around 30 minutes of free time there. The rest of the tour felt heavily lecture-based - long explanations that took up a significant portion of the experience. We visited two locations: an organic coffee farm and a cocoa production farm. That was the extent of the itinerary, which made the overall title feel misleading. The guide came across as disengaged and not particularly enthusiastic. It felt more like he was going through the motions than genuinely enjoying what he was doing. This tour is not well suited for families. The children in our group were clearly bored during the lengthy talks, and even some adults seemed to struggle to stay engaged. Considering the price, the experience did not feel like good value for money.
