About

Finca Carpe Diem Ecolodge is a hidden gem for hiking and relaxation lovers in Paso del Mango, near Minca. We offer three swimming pools, magnificent views over endless forests and river access from the house.
There are lots of hikes you can make (short and long, guided or on your own). We also provide yoga classes, massages and farm-to-table meals.
Our facilities are set up in the midst of lush forests with lots of open and green spaces between rooms and communal areas. We don' t have close neighbours, there are no bars or restaurants nearby (except ours :)) and traffic is very low.
Wherever you go or walk, you will feel the fresh air and tranquility around you. This remote situation can be very inspiring. Geographically we are located in the Minca area (North Colombia) but our exact location is the village of Paso del Mango (READ DIRECTIONS CAREFULLY), a beautiful tropical valley crossed by two rivers. The landscape is the same but less people and more wild nature compared to busy Minca.

Please do not take bus/taxi to Minca town center to visit us, rather travel straight Santa Marta - Bonda - Paso del Mango (45 min). You always need to get to Bonda first and not to Minca. There is no direct connection between Minca and Carpe Diem. You need to follow the road Minca - Bonda - Finca Carpe Diem = 50 min

- The lodge is located right within our farm and nature reserve. You will be surrounded by mountains, rivers and forests on every side.

- Important: you will be on a Colombian finca. There is loooots of space and nature on all sides. You will find a peaceful, relaxing and comfortable environment that is hard to find elsewhere.

I have stayed in more than 100 hostels around the world and this place just beats them all. The staff is so kind, the food is pricey, but very good. And it makes sense since we are in the jungle. Welcome to a place to relax, do hikes and enjoy the views. Truly a special place
