When they say the location here is 'above Minca' they're not kidding – just getting to this fantastic place is an adventure and ensures that only the intrepid arrive. Created and run by an international crew, Casa Elemento has an incredible position with extraordinary views and is the perfect place to escape the world. It's a 30-minute, COP$25,000 motorbike ride from Minca.
Accommodations are simple and hostel-like, with a small pool, toilets that have views direct into the jungle, and a busy restaurant-bar-hangout. The centerpiece is an enormous hammock where a dozen people can comfortably fit and drink in the views. Ziplines connect tree platforms that are perfect for bird-watching. There's no wireless, which makes for an extremely social atmosphere. Walk back down to Minca by all means, but only masochists walk up – take a motorbike.
