“Relaxing”

Amazing place really nice people, it is far up the mountain so take some snacks and be aware you have to carry your luggage up (or store it in Minca and take a smaller bag). The hostel has meals basic but really nice. You can pay with card and cash. There are nice hammocks you can relax in. Many birds and very calm. From there many cascada's close by and nice hikes. It was very clean and good wifi. Also tables to work from. You van make friends but can also do your own thing.

Wonderful place to stay at if you are looking for tranquility and being away from all the hustle and bustle of the town. It is a remote little hostal with an amazing nature and facilities. Getting there; is a bit bumpy but again if you are in Minca and want to stay somewhere away from the crowds this is something you need to make peace with. From Minca you can either walk ( la hike uphill) for 40 mins of get mototaxi for 8 mins (20k COP). The road is quite bumpy so be ready. The rooms; are clean and has everything you need. There is no hot water but it should not be a suprise for you if you are travelling to Minca, there is usually none. There are bunch of hammocks for you to spend your time chilling with the sounds of birds and nature around you. The food; the breakfast included is quite good and the usual you get in Colombia, some eggs arepas and fruit with coffee / tea. There is no lunch available and this is important to keep in mind cause you will need to walk/hike 30-40 mins one way to get to lunch options around since this part of the river is way less inhabited you need to cross the river. You can get dinner at the hostel for a fair price, the menu chages but they accommodate for vegetarians as well. The activities: there are some nice hikes and waterfalls around but we did not do much besides chilling at the hostal since we were looking forward to some downtime. They have a nice little guide for you to see your options. Honestly, we would choose this accommodation over and over again if we were ever to come back to Minca. It is new, has a great location and amenities, people are very nice and kind, you can just turn your brain off and relax. 10/10 would reccomend! Ps. There is little to no sound proof especially in the quite mornings and evenings soo keep that in mind for everyones peace of mind please…

Amazing views from the garden and terrace! I was sick so I just wanted a nice place to relax. This was the perfect place. There are enough hammocks for every one. You can get breakfast and dinner and buy drinking water which is convenient since it's such a long way to town. Make sure to only bring a small backpack and leave your big bag somewhere else. It's a long, steep hike from Minca or you can go with a motorbike taxi (no cars!).

Quiet and peaceful, many hammocks, very clean, wifi around the restaurant very good, dinner from 6-8pm with 3 choices (one is usually a greek salad for 25‘000) cost 30‘000 and is always tasty. 1L water costs 1‘000 which is fair i guess. Mototaxi costs 20k in the daytime and 35k at night. The ride up here is pretty adventurous, as there is no proper street. The moto taxi drops you around 250m from the hostel and you gotta walk the final part (3-5min)

Amazing view, good breakfast, nice atmosphere.

“Beautiful oasis away from Minca”

Amazing view away from Minca you need to take a moto taxi to get there which is definitely interesting to say the least but well worth it. Simple breakfast and good at night but good despite what I had read before We were really happy to be close to several Cascadas such as Pozo Azul (45min) or Cascada Escondida (15min) and also Finca La Candelaria walking distance (90min) with great Cacao Tour

“Perfect stay to relax and calm down”

Quiet, good food, nature, nice stuff

“Amazing view and peaceful stay”

Very nice and calm place, Friendly owner and personal. It`s a place to relax, less party. Danke und alles Gueti:)

“If you are looking for a quiet place and great view you can go. But except for that there are better options in Minca!”

The view is amazing and it is really quiet and peaceful

Amazing views, com

“Epic sunsets surrounded by peace and hummingbirds”

Sunset, quiet, beautiful location, birds and wildlife. Owner pleasant and helpful staff.

“Relaxing stay at Hostal Vista Verde”

My boyfriend and I stayed in a private room at Hostal Vista Verde for 2 nights and it was one of the highlights of our trip. The views from the property were second to none. We enjoyed watching the sun set over Santa Marta. It is a bit of a hike to get to the property but you can take a motorbike from Minca which will take around 10 minutes (very adventurous but the drivers know their way around the mountain) and then you have to walk the rest of the way up to the property for another 10 to 15 minutes. The included breakfast was great and we had some of the best coffee here. The hikes to the waterfalls were also accessible from the property. I would recommend Hostal Vista Verde to anyone looking for a more relaxed stay with great views.

“Peaceful and panoramic”

Beautiful out of the way location. Panoramic and peaceful

“Really beautiful and calm house in Minca mountains with great staff!”

Great hostal in the Mountains of Minca! Really nicely Designed rooms with mosquito nets and shelves. Hammocks outside the rooms with a great view of the mountains. Several dinner options are available every evening (25-40.000 COP) as well as laundry Service (8000 COP/kg). All the people working there are really nice and caring! Approx. 45 min away from Minca with bigger backpacks (mototaxis can get you there too). Close to Cascada Escondida/Perdida to swim. Hiking to pozo azul & la candeleria/nuevo mundo are possible without going back to town.

“Amazing views and sunsets that made it worthwhile for that alone if you want views and nature.”

The view was amazing. Beautiful sunsets and very peaceful setting with the hammocks on the verandah.

“Awesome getaway surrounded by nature”

Vista Verde was an amazing, peaceful and enjoyable place to spend five days! It's nestled in the mountains, surrounded by forest, yet feels comfortable and inviting. There are birds everywhere; you can see hummingbirds in the trees and hear toucans in the distance. The food was great, and their prices for beverages were very reasonable when considering how difficult it is to get them to the hotel.

It was just as beautiful as the pictures show if not more beautiful. The owners are super helpful and accommodating. We really enjoyed our stay here! It’s the perfect place if you want to retreat from the world for a while.

“Beautiful views in a relaxing setting”

Absolutely stunning views, some of the best in our 4 month trip. The bedrooms are spacious and comfortable and the bathrooms, while shared, are very clean and practical. It has a nice social atmosphere but in no way party so you can really come here to relax. Great spot for hiking and birdwatching - you barely have to leave the hostel to see some fantastic wildlife!

The view from the top is stunning
