Minca
This fantastic place is all about creating an environmentally friendly project that gives back to its community. Housed on a former cattle farm, Mundo Nuevo seeks to be self-sustainable in relation to food, water and energy. Its mountain setting is gorgeous, and visitors immediately feel that they're part of a team. The hostel is a COP$20,000 moto-taxi ride from Minca.
Activities include bread making, permaculture tours and visits to an indigenous Wiwa village.
