Property Description

Casas Viejas is the home of travelers and nature lovers in the Sierra Nevada! We are located at the heart of finca La Victoria, one of the biggest and most famous coffee farms in the mountains of northern Colombia, 30min from Minca and 20km from Santa Marta. Keeping with the rustic style of the coffee haciendas of the region, we offer comfortable accommodation and a cozy atmosphere where you can relax, exchange with other travelers and enjoy stunning mountain views. Treat yourself with our delicious food a blend of local and international cuisine and savouring handcrafted local beers from the tap in our Jungle Bar. We also organise various outdoors and cultural activities ( hiking, bird-watching, visit to the coffee factory, ...), designed to explore and connect with the luxuriant nature of La Victoria farm. We are also the perfect place to get a traditional indigenous massage or a morning yoga-stretching session in the middle of the jungle. Our hostel lodge is also the ideal place to start your hike to Cerro Kennedy, a summit from where you can see the amazing snowy peaks of the Sierra Nevada. **Important: Were out of Minca Town, but still part of Minca, For getting here from Minca, you can either take a moto-taxi or a jeep (30min ride), or walk all the way up to here for 2 hours. Please plan to arrive as early as possible, the gates of the finca close at 5:30pm and after this hour the way can get longer and more expensive. We´re located out of town (8km) so, orginice in advance your trip in order to be uphill before sunset. Casas Viejas Policies & Conditions: We accept payment with cash and credit/debit cards. A 4% commission applies for payment with card. Check in from 3:00 PM Check out before 11:00 AM. Taxes not included - 19% Breakfast not included. Kids under 18 y/o can't stay in dorms. Not kitchen for guest. Alcohol from outside not allowed. Pool just for guests.

Awesome stay. Absolutely beautiful property up in the mountains. Amazing, chic facilities. Stunning views. Very comfortable. Romantic. Friendly staff. Tasty food. Somewhat scary but exhilarating moto taxi ride to get there or you can hire a 4x4 with a few people. Loved our stay

We loved our stay here and would highly recommend. The hostel is in a stunning location, with a great pool are, restaurant/bar and the private room we had was good. Fresh food was made daily with variety of your staying for all your meals. We decided not to go into Minca as it’s a 30min driver by jeep or motorbike on a very bumpy road!

Stunning place with generally a chilled vibe. Staff were friendly. Lunch menu was amazing. Some of the dinner items were too small. pool was amazing but perhaps could be a little cleaner. this hostel should be ADULTS ONLY. unfortunately there were children in the pool everyday which ruined the chilled vibe I wanted there. Otherwise I really loved this place. Oh also our dorm almost never had hot water in the shower.

Overall a lovely place to stay, especially if you are looking for something a bit more relaxing. People are social here but this is not a party place - think more card games etc. You are out of town so just to be aware that after 5:30pm it’s not the easiest to get back into the hostel (think 25min walk uphill), so you do eat pretty much all your meals here but food is good (best cookies!) overall would recommend!

Gorgeous hostel! Honestly the pool and view is incredible. The vibes are relaxed but social. The quality of the food for family dinners was insanely good. Only things to note: a)it is expensive to get there as its quite remote, and b) the gluten free options at lunch were really lacking (would be great if there were a few more options for coeliacs - it was mostly pizza, pasta, burgers and sandwiches on the lunch menu).

Good hostel with really good food. There are a lot of families with children and babies so it’s not great for socializing with other backpackers who like to drink/have a bit of a party. I wouldn’t stay here if I was a solo traveler.
