Cocora's valley offers and incredible experience to tourists that love going for walk in the nature. The place is near a small town called Salento. In this village you can wait for other tourist in the square and plan the hike with them, but remember go early if you want to enjoy the entire walking. You can choose between two options: short a long hiking. The short hiking could be completed in 60-90 minutes and is a good options if you arrived to square late, in the afternoon, or if you are feeling bad. But if you are an adventurer tourist, you can go for walking through long way that takes 5-6 hours to be completed. You'll stay near to the nature with this option and walk along steep hiking tracks.

Minca is a tiny beautiful town that perched in the top of the mountain Sierra nevada de Santa Marta. The population is 800 but is very kindy. You can enjoy a amazing overlooking of Santamarta and the Caribbean coast. The place is 45 minutes away from Santa Marta and 5 hours from Cartagena. You can get there by bus (shared shuttle) or taxi, but the first option is cheaper. You can go to Pozo Azul. It is a natural swimming area. there is a waterfall and it's perfect to do cliff jumping. Another attraction for the spot is to get relax in a giant hammock. you'll find the world's largest hammock in the hostel "casa elemento". It's a two hours hike from the town, but the views are amazing. Teyuna was a small village of Tayrona indians, but I was abandoned for them, because the conquistadors were very violent with this people. Currently, the place is a touristic spot to four days to way.
