We really liked the food, the staff is totally from the neighbourhood and can really cook. The owners a Belgian couple are taking care of the property and its surrounding. The pools where great with beautiful views.
NetherlandsThe meals were delicious. Much of the food was produced on the farm. The homemade lime ice cream! I'm still thinking about it.
United States of AmericaSo much energy, effort, and hard work has gone into creating this magical place. Perfectly situated high up in forest with an immediate relaxing and engaging vibe. Carefully crafted activities, delicious food, and an ambiance around three pools on a variety of property altitudes dictates you slow down and enjoy where you are. Accommodations are exceptionally clean and cared for. Meals bring people together and the space makes you wonder if you have it in you to build something special yourself. We loved it. Stay longer than you think you should.
United States of AmericaThe moto taxi that dropped me back down to Bonda waited with me to make sure I got the right bus and explained to the driver where I wanted to go. Bless!
IrelandVery nice environment in the middle of the jungle. Cabins provide a good atmosphere. Three nice pools, two provide a view over the woods. Good kitchen.
NetherlandsGreat hostel, lovely location, the staff is nice and the food is good! Definitely recommend it for a few chilled days and as a starting point for different tours in nature!
NetherlandsThe location and views surrounding the pools are beautiful! It’s a very peaceful place to unwind and take in the nature. The waterfall tour offered was very nice and our guide was very friendly. The food offered is fresh with nice vegetarian options. Just important to note- the main way up here is via a mototaxi. Make sure to confirm with Finca Carpe Diem prices for it before agreeing to a ride from Bonda from a driver.
United States of AmericaThe location itself is stunningly beautiful and even though it is a bit further away from the village, carpe diem and it's neighbours are offering a wide range of activities.

The fine print
Do not go to Minca, rather follow the instructions:
From Santa Marta and Taganga:
Take a taxi in Santa Marta going to Bonda (30 min – 10,000 pesos). Ask to get off at the Police Station or footbal field in Bonda. Here you need to go up a small road with a motorbike (15 min - 10.000 cop) to reach Carpe Diem. The whole drive is easy to find and takes roughly 50 minutes in total from Santa Marta. You can also do this trip with own transport but you need a 4x4 drive vehicle.
We can offer door-to-door services for 120.000 pesos for the whole car from any place in Santa Marta.
From Palomino or Tayrona:
Take the bus direction Santa Marta. Ask to get off at Veracruz in Bonda (this is a crossing some 20 minutes before entering Santa Marta). Go to the footbal field of Bonda from where you take the mototaxi uphill (15 min - COP 10,000).
We can offer door-to-door services from any destination at the Caribbean Coast.
