Context

On the slopes of the Sierra Nevada, Minca connects the heat of the Caribbean with cooler mountain forests. The change in altitude favors a remarkable diversity of birds and makes it possible to grow coffee and cacao a short distance from the sea. Farms, reserves and trails offer experiences of observation, learning and rest, but tourism growth calls for choosing projects that responsibly manage water, waste and the relationship with the local population.

What can you do?

• Watch birds at dawn
