Incredible place, especially if u get there early (eg 10am) as almost have the place to yourself. 2 waterfalls. The top one is really high and impressive but not god for swimming, bottom one is a lovely pool you can swim in. Great facilities - toilets with open views of the waterfalls !, picnic benches, restaurant, 4x large flat net hammocks to chill out on. We were there 1.5hrs but could easily spent much longer.
Easy 1hr walk up from Minca.
Much better than Pozo Azul which was super crowded, no facilities, and not very impressive.

It was about a half hour hike along a dirt trail to the place in the attached photos. Along the way, there was a small place to eat where we had some tasty chorizo.
The swimming was great....
As we started to hike back to our awaiting taxi, it began to rain heavily. The trail turned to mud with running water. At the end of the trail there were several people with motorcycles who for a small fee ferried us back to our awaiting taxi. The thrilling ride on the moto was quite an experience!

Hard to get there but it's totally worte it. Waterfall is nice and cool to swim there, too. Everything is clean. The restaurant is delicious and the prices are more than fair seeing that it's the only restaurant there. Very friendly, too. Wow!

This place is pretty cool. It’s pretty but slightly smaller than expected. But thanks to a small entrance fee (water is free in Columbia but the land owner charges to enter) it is clean. Very clean. It’s a short drive via 4x4 road or about a one hour hike uphill from town. Well worth it

Beautiful waterfalls. Traveled here by 4x4 and boy was it a bumpy (but fun) ride. I honestly can’t imagine hiking all the way up there, but saw several people doing so. The waterfalls are beautiful. There are two levels, the top level is gorgeous and more picturesque. The lower level is better for swimming. Changing rooms are available and they were clean, as were the bathrooms. There’s a little restaurant on site but we didn’t eat there. Great views photo ops from the giant hammocks. Be aware there are a lot of stairs. Doable for those who are not very active, you’ll just have to take your time.

Great place to cool off in the late afternoon after the tourist rush in the middle of the day. We were staying near by so wandered down. The price has gone up to COP16k per person. Well set up with clean bathrooms and changing facilities (though the hammock above the 2nd change cabin makes it rather less private!). We enjoyed a beer after our swim (lower pool) and paddle (top pool). Better than the Juan Curí falls. Intrepid to drive up just for this but a well deserved rest for those that walk up, which is arguably easier (definitely safer) than the drive. Got wet with the late afternoon rains but didn’t spoil our enjoyment.

It is a great place to go with family, friends or alone, make sure to prepare for a 12km walk or rent a bike or a car, if you by car make sure to have a good 4x4.
We didn't like specially the food at the restaurant, but the cascades are a great place, the coffee is great and the desserts really worth the try, don't choose the lasagna, the burgers are ok, not for the outside the world.
The place is really clean and very easy to read and walk

It's a lot of fun to go there and enjoy the cooler temperature and fresh water. I recommend to use a car or motor to get up there. Best moment was, when it started to rain as well. Enjoy your time there

Love Minca, beautiful views and nature. Great hidden waterfalls you can visit. Though be prepared for little bloodsucking flies during the day. They pinch through your pants so put on extra insect repellent!

We almost missed out on this waterfall but decided to go on our last day in Minca. We are so glad we went because it was a highlight of our trip! The walk from town takes about an hour and is pretty shaded. Entry is $5,000 pesos (less than $2 US). You can tell the area is very well-maintained! There is a cafe with hammocks, as well as a swimming area at the bottom of the waterfall. We went on a Tuesday afternoon so it wasn’t too crowded. We heard it gets really busy on weekends though. If you’re contemplating going to Marinka or Pozo Azul, Marinka is the better option by far!

Buenos días Shijo, se puede ir por carro, moto o si prefieres caminando. Si vas en carro particular tienes que ir en una camioneta porque el terreno es muy irregular. Igual en minca hay carros que suben y cobran 60.000 mil pesos por 4 persona, por trayecto, y las motos, que para mi son la mejor opción cobran 10.000 pesos por Persona por trayecto y llegas más rápido. Si prefieres ir caminando te demorar aproximadamente 40 mn.
