Masaya Casas Viejas

Minca

Offering a terrace and views of the garden, Masaya Casas Viejas is set 30 minutes away from Minca in the Magdalena Region by 4x4 or motorcycle, and 12 mi from Santa Marta. Guests can enjoy the on-site bar with a terrace.

All private rooms are equipped with a ensuite bathroom. Casas Viejas is an incredible, surreal oasis in the forest above Santa Marta. We loved our stay, from the pool to the meals (the creme brulee was PHENOMENAL) to hammocks and reading area. We watched the sun go down over Santa Marta and the Caribbean in the distance, awoke to birds in the morning, and felt like we were living in idyllic luxury. We only had one night, but this place definitely deserves several days to fully enjoy the peace and rest available here.

The staff was superfriendly, all spoke english aswell (a treat you don't see much in Columbia). Food was nice. It was super close to Tayrona entrance. Definately worth to stay longer than just for visiting Tayrona.

Arrived at finca late, I came dying the low season so I was the only person there. As someone with very little Spanish and having been dropped off in the woods by a motor taxi across a river. (they're safe don't worry). I was a little skeptical and thinking "where the hell am I". I was quickly brought to my dorm room, no one was there - after coming from parting in Cali this was needed. I basically paid £9 or 45,000 pesos for a private ensuite Gonzalo looked after me and we had conversations through Google translate. He was so accommodating. Doing laundry, being attentive with delicious food. I would most certainly come back again. Remember to being cash - as most places in Tayrona take cash only. La Fonda were very accommodating and took care and so did Tayrona entrance I'd recommend this place to anyone, it is the essence on tranquil
