Just follow the paths leading to different viewpoints and waterfalls:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1-If you follow the main road through Minca, you will reach:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Cascada Perdida<\/strong>: A lesser-known waterfall. Access it from La Veranda Hotel. 20 minutes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Reserva Natural Amazilia<\/strong>: Great for a bite to eat and a swim. Very nice.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Pozo Azul<\/strong>: There are 3 pools for swimming, but they are often overcrowded. 30 minutes walk.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>2- Another option is to <strong>follow the path that turns before the Chocolate Museum<\/strong>. I like this one because there are fewer vehicles. However, there are no waterfalls on this side. If you continue for 4 hours (without getting lost), you will reach <strong>Paso del Mango<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3- The <strong>Cerro Kennedy Oriente<\/strong> route. This is one of the most popular trails for hikers, as it leads to beautiful waterfalls:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Cascada O\u00eddo del Mundo<\/strong>: 20 minutes. Free, but very crowded.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Marinka<\/strong>: A well-maintained, paid site with 2 waterfalls (one of which you can swim in). There&#8217;s also a restaurant\/bar and nets for lounging with a beautiful view.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Los Pinos<\/strong>: A beautiful viewpoint after 3 hours of walking.

It&#8217;s a <strong>moderately difficult hike<\/strong> if you&#8217;re in good physical shape, covering about <strong>80 km<\/strong> through the jungle. Each day involves minimal positive elevation gain, and the logistics are <strong>well-organized<\/strong>, with camps equipped with beds, hot meals, and potable water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The hot and humid climate can be surprising, and the trail is often muddy when it rains, which happens frequently. The goal is to reach the <strong>Ciudad Perdida<\/strong> on the third day before returning. <strong>These ruins are the ancient terraces of a Tairona village<\/strong>. Along the way, you&#8217;ll get some insights into the <strong>Kogi culture<\/strong>, but this isn&#8217;t the main focus of the trek\u2014just a bonus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The trek is very popular, with <strong>daily departures from<\/strong> <strong>Santa Marta<\/strong>.
