A wonderful drive with a stop in Minca
We had a drive to Cartagena from Santa Martawith a stop in Minca. Our trip was fantastic and , our driver/guide Juan was above and beyond and a very safe driver. His love and passion for the geography and the animals of the area are outstanding. His English perfect. We went to the waterfalls in Minca and then had fresh French pastries. I can’t praise him enough. My best Irit Raz-McBride.

Minca day-trip and Coffee Farm Visit from Santa Marta: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Santa Marta.
How much does Minca day-trip and Coffee Farm Visit from Santa Marta cost?
+
Prices start at $432 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Santa Marta usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Minca day-trip and Coffee Farm Visit from Santa Marta take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Santa Marta is not rushed.
Is Minca day-trip and Coffee Farm Visit from Santa Marta worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 48 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Santa Marta, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Minca day-trip and Coffee Farm Visit from Santa Marta?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Minca day-trip and Coffee Farm Visit from Santa Marta suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Minca day-trip and Coffee Farm Visit from Santa Marta?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Santa Marta can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Santa Marta and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Minca day-trip and Coffee Farm Visit from Santa Marta start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Santa Marta within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Santa Marta?
+
On Outty we rank every Santa Marta experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Hike for 4 days to the Lost City, Santa Marta, 4-Day Lost City Small-Group Tour in Santa Marta, 4-Day Walking Tour to Lost City of Sierra Nevada. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Santa Marta?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Santa Marta?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Minca day-trip and Coffee Farm Visit from Santa Marta?
+

+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 43 listed pickup locations in and around Santa Marta. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Minca day-trip and Coffee Farm Visit from Santa Marta offered in?
+
It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Minca day-trip and Coffee Farm Visit from Santa Marta?
