Minca is par excellence a coffee town. Colombia is known for its delicious coffee, but it is more related to the coffee region, however in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta we also find many places with a coffee vocation. In these farms you can learn about the entire coffee process, from planting to tasting. You can also taste other products such as honey, cocoa or handcrafted beer. In addition to enjoying the beautiful landscapes of the mountains.
