• DO NOT GO TO MINCA TOWN TO GET HERE. YOU ALWAYS NEED TO GO TO BONDA FIRST AND NOT TO MINCA TOWN. IF YOU ARE IN MINCA YOU ALSO NEED TO GO TO BONDA BEFORE GETTING HERE. YOUR OPTIONS:
• OWN TRANSPORT: First you need to go to the police station of Bonda and after to the village of Masinga and Paso del Mango where we are also located (25 min. form Bonda). We recommend a car that is a bit higher than the normal one (ideally SUV 4x4) as it is not an asphalted road and some parts are not in such a good shape. You can also park your car in a private parking space 100 mts from the police station in Bonda. We can also pick you up with our vehicle at the police station of Bonda (140.000 pesos).
• WITH PUBLIC TRANSPORT: take a taxi (more or less 15,000 pesos) or buseta (2000 pesos) from Santa Marta to Bonda. Ask to get off at the Police Station in Bonda. Here you need to go up a small road to reach Finca Carpe Diem higher up in the mountains with a motorbike (15 min - 22.000 cop), this motorbike ride is paid directly to the drivers and they usually DON'T have change for 50.000 bills. The whole drive is easy to find - though a bit rough - and takes roughly 50 minutes in total from Santa Marta. Please send a whatsapp message to our reception to get a motorbike (315 255 4186).
• DOOR TO DOOR SERVICE (OR TAXI): We can offer private transportation for 160.000 pesos for the whole car from any place in Santa Marta or 140.000 from Bonda and for 190,000 from the airport
• If you come from Palomino-Tayrona direction then take a bus heading to Santa Marta and get off at Veracruz, Bonda. This is 20 minutes before Santa Marta. You can take a motorbike in Veracruz directly to Finca Carpe Diem (35 min - 25.000 cop). We can organize a car from Bonda for 140,000 pesos.
