📍 IMPORTANT – OUR LOCATION – DO NOT TRAVEL TO MINCA TOWN!
We are located in the Minca area, but not in Minca village itself. Carpe Diem is nestled in Paso del Mango, a beautiful tropical valley crossed by two rivers. You'll find the same lush jungle landscapes and stunning nature as in Minca, but with fewer crowds, a more peaceful atmosphere and an even wilder, more untouched environment.
