To get to the property it's necessary to go through the Village of Bonda, since the Finca Carpe Diem Ecolodge is located on the other side of the mountain. The property is set in the Minca Region, but the exact location is Paso del Mango, a tropical valley in the Minca area.

Amazing place in beautiful nature! Food is great and the activities are highly recommended!

Don't miss the private river access and their sunset view point, it's unreal!! Super nice staff, they helped me with my tours and hikes and gave me a map of the town and surroundings. It's very close to the town but set in nice Nature. I would definitely recommend casa Mango if you visit Minca.

Very nice and pleasant accommodation. From the beginning, I was informed by the owner of the accommodation, Luis, about the options for traveling to the town of Minca and also for traveling from Minca. I received valuable information about things to do or see in the area. The host spoke fluent English, which was highly unusual in Colombia, and we appreciated and utilized it even more because of that. Everything was great, and we would return again.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    The owner was lovely and super interesting to talk to. Hotel is amazing value for money, very comfortable beds and nice and cool as the building is under the trees. Great location to walk from there to Marinka waterfalls too. Lovely breakfast cooked in front of you. Can't recommend highly enough, especially for the price! All feels very safe.

    The atmosphere in the hostel is super relaxed and tranquilo! We enjoyed it a lot to calm down. The owner was really kind and we felt safe in this place. It is located in the "centre of the town" (the town is tiny), but far enough from the main road that you can't hear the traffic. Sometimes even a Kolibri family came to visit us in front of the casa. ¡Muchas gracias por todo!
