Hostel Finca Carpe Diem Ecolodge
Cll 14 # 18-339 Brr Masinga, Paso Del Mango, Bonda, 470003 Minca, Colombia – Great location - show map
amazing place to disconnect and relax. far away from any main Center but has everything you need and want. 3 swimming pools, delicious food in the restaurant at all meal times with lots of variety. friendly and very helpful staff! the massage with clay detox in the river is a must. what a truly outstanding experience

3 Pools. Wifi good in common areas. Amazing staff. Fantastic food. Lovely chill vibe - casual, tropical, clean. Great bed. Tight mosquito netting. Sweet bathroom. Best food in Colombia, including best breakfast. Good hikes nearby.

the property was tranquil and we enjoyed the many pools. also, the staff was fantastic. Marie and Martina made us feel like family from the moment we arrived :)

No noisy cars nor motorbikes, no blaring music anywhere - just plain nature! And the three pools are priceless!

We traveled with 6 adults and stayed at 7 different places and this was one of our favorites. The rooms are huts and were clean and spacious. The showers have good water pressure. No ac in the rooms, but big fans and windows, it was pretty cool at night even without the fan. Some of the best views we’ve ever seen. 3 swimming pools. Restaurant and bar onsite, wifi in the pool and common areas. They have board and card games. Great prices for food and drinks. Super helpful staff. A few of our group did the waterfall tours which were amazing, but not for the faint of heart…lots of hiking and reptiles. All of us did the cocoa tour and it was very informative, we got to make some cocoa and try it and got cocoa facials and massages. Definitely recommend the cocoa tour. Lots to see if you walk around the property. The staff picked all 6 of us up from the bus stop in Santa Marta and brought and brought us to the resort and took us to our hostel in Santa Marta after our stay.

The staff service was absolutely amazing. Martina, Sandra and Yule made our weekend a great experience.

Friendly staff, good food and plenty of outdoor spaces to relax. The pools are nice and there is a river to swim in as well. Hiking right outside the door.

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.

The meals were delicious. Much of the food was produced on the farm. The homemade lime ice cream! I'm still thinking about it.

So 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.

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.
