Santa Marta & Minca: Jungle Hike and Waterfall Rappelling

Rappel down 3 waterfalls in Minca on a canyoning adventure. Enjoy a guided hike through the jungle, learn about Minca’s nature, and swim in a natural pool.
Start your experience with a 40-minute nature hike deep into the forests of Minca — a walk that is not just a means to an end, but an essential part of the journey. This is ancestral land, where the trail winds beneath towering trees draped in moss, orchids bloom in the shadows, and bromeliads cradle small ecosystems in their cups. As you walk, your guide will point out endemic species that exist only in this unique mountain range — a biological sanctuary shaped by millions of years of isolation and altitude. Every step is a reminder that you're entering one of the most biodiverse and sacred regions of Colombia: the Sierra Nevada.

As the canopy opens and the sound of water grows louder, you’ll reach the upper course of the Minca River. Here, your perspective shifts — from horizontal to vertical — as the canyoning section begins. This is not a zipline or a tourist trap. It’s wild, technical, and real. You'll descend three waterfalls carved into volcanic rock: 18, 22, and 35 meters, each with its own character, challenge, and beauty.

Before beginning, you’ll receive a full safety briefing and be fitted with professional canyoning gear: helmet, harness, gloves, and rappel system. Your guide will walk you through every movement, giving you time to practice and build trust in the equipment and your body. This is an activity that requires attention, but no prior experience — just the willingness to be present, listen, and let go of control.

Once you begin the descent, the forest transforms around you. The noise of the world disappears, replaced by the rush of water, the rhythm of your breath, and the cool rock beneath your feet. You lower yourself, step by step, into the heart of the jungle — surrounded by vines, mist, and the raw force of nature.

The final rappel brings you to a tranquil natural pool at the base of the last cascade. There’s time here to float, to breathe, and to let the moment sink in. No crowds. No noise. Just you, the water, and the mountain.

As the day closes, what remains is more than adrenaline. It’s the feeling of having touched something untamed — and being changed by it.
