Description

Delve into the heart of Minca and learn about the legacy of the indigenous peoples descended from the Tayrona. This trek offers an insight into the history and culture of the Kogui, Wiwa, Arhuacos, and Kankuamos, communities that have maintained their connection with nature and their ancestral knowledge over time. The tour takes place in a diverse natural environment, where the native vegetation and variety of species showcase the ecological richness of the region. As we progress, we observe the interaction between the ecosystem and the traditional practices of those who have inhabited this territory for centuries. Our destination is a cacao and coffee farm managed by an Arhuaco family, where we will learn about their way of life and the relationship they have built with the land. They will explain the processes of cultivation and transformation of these products, as well as their uses within the indigenous worldview. The permanence of their traditions and the way they have faced sociocultural changes in their territory will also be discussed. More than just a hike, this experience seeks to connect visitors with local communities and their projects, providing an authentic perspective on the evolution of Minca. To conclude the tour, there will be time to relax at a natural waterfall, a setting that symbolizes the connection between the landscape and the identity of the place (we may encounter a waterfall along the way, so bring your swimsuit).
