I had an amazing time on my tour of Cascada Oido del Mundo and Marinka Waterfalls with my guide, Juan. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the area and was passionate about sharing his knowledge with me. He was also very easy-going and made the whole experience very enjoyable. We started our day by hiking up to Cascada Oido del Mundo, which is a beautiful waterfall that is located in a secluded spot in the jungle. The hike was challenging but worth it for the views from the top. After taking some time to enjoy the waterfall, we continued on our hike to Marinka Waterfalls. Marinka Waterfalls is very beautiful. We spent some time swimming and relaxing under the waterfall before heading back to Minca. I had a great time on our tour and would highly recommend Juan to anyone visiting Santa Marta and Minca. He is a knowledgeable, passionate, and easy-going guide who will make your experience unforgettable.

I wanted to visit the town of Minca and thought maybe a guide could make it a better experience, and boy was I right! Juan delivered an amazing experience. It was as informative than fun! We had great laughs, he answered all my question about Colombia, Santa Marta, Minca. He also brought me to the best water falls you can in minca. He offered me fruits and water and helped me carry some of my items. All in all, I had a great time, he was more than a guide, he became my friend! So if you want a fun and informative experience, this is for you!! 🇨🇴🇨🇦
