“This was such a good tour to spend a full day in Minca. We hiked to a coffee farm, saw some fantastic nature along the way. Then hiked to a waterfall and had the option to jump in. Afterwards, we traveled on foot again to a cocoa farm. There we had a lovely lunch, learned about the animals in the area and got to make some chocolate. Best hot chocolate I've ever had. We really enjoyed how passionate our tour guide was about the land and nature. I would warn that some of the hike is a bit strenuous so just be prepared!”

“I went back to Colombia after 20 years with my Canadian family and hiring this tour was the best thing we could've done. Aleja was our guide, she was punctual, friendly , and very knowledgeable. She did a great job managing our group, we tend to split constantly and she respected our wandering souls while also keeping us together and safe while in La Candelaria. She taught us so much of the rich history of Colombia. My family and I had lots of fun, and I left feeling very proud of my country. Thank you so much Aleja for that great experience!”

“Juanita was amazing and her English is fluent. We are a family of 6, with 4 teenagers (19, 18, 16 and 14yr) and she engaged us all for 4 hours. She was full of stories about Columbia’s history and she knows a huge amount, is passionate about her country and wants to share that with others. We really enjoyed the coffee/cacao experience where we were educated about the cacao and coffee process by a woman who has set up a great coffee/cacao shop. Juanita was really generous with her recommendations and helped us navigate the city with ideas for the next few days. I would thoroughly recommend Juanita and her…”
