Reviews of Hotel Hukumeizi Minca 3 stars

Hotel Hukumeizi is a very special and magical place!!! In the nowhere ... very calm and quiet. Lovely people on site. We stayed longer than planned as we felt so comfortable and on ease and did not want to leave. Highly highly recommended. The road to get there was stressful but it was worth it.

Don't go there by low car.

Awesome remote location. Expect unpaved dirt roads through lush jungle forest and crossing a stream. You’ll be rewarded with a tranquil sanctuary with a sacred river. The light hits different here. Jorge is super responsive. The food is amazing — clean, fresh, creative, delicious. Great WiFi connectivity.

It should be expected that you’re in nature and there will be bugs. This is not unexpected or an issue for me personally but guests should be aware. There is no A/C but sleeping with door to balcony open with the curtains drawn closed helps. You’ll be lulled to sleep by the babbling river. Hukumeizi is not super close to Minca, getting there requires a mototaxi or 4x4 (to get through forest to the main road) — again not an issue for me but consideration of future guests.

Remote but beautiful location in the middle of the jungle. The (very clean) river is directly in front of the rooms and perfect for a refreshment. Jorge is an amazing host that is always there for any question you have or support you need. The food also deserves mentioning it was absolutely amazing! Perfect for some relaxing days.

Due to the remote location in the jungle there are of course many mosquitoes, but that is normal in the whole region.

The food and the staff were exceptional. The rooms were very nice and the access to the river is a big plus.

Nothing. Everything was perfect.

Beautiful property in the middle of serene, secluded nature, but just a quick moto ride away you can explore the town of Minca; lovely to connect with the other guests and hotel staff (as well as the adorable dogs living on property) over absolutely stunning dinners; everything about the space was intentional and designed with love!

Everything was perfect - but do be aware it’s down a long dirt road with some river crossings and is quite secluded, as well as integrated with nature - absolutely beautiful for me, but perhaps not for the guest who prefers something a bit more urban/commercialized

The staff was super friendly, the food was beyond delicious! Getting to interact with the indigenous communities in such an intimate way was very special! And going to sleep with the sound of the river every day was super magical! Will definitely come back to Hukumeizi Minca.

A truly extraordinary experience. Writing a glowing review feels almost like betraying a secret. Part of this place’s magic lies in its quiet, under-the-radar charm. But some experiences are too special not to share. It’s no small feat getting here. Halfway along the dusty back road that leads in, you either have to cross a river by 4x4 or venture on foot across a rickety wooden bridge. Not quite as prepared as we should have been, we enlisted the help of some friendly locals to reach the final stretch. The crossing felt like a quiet test, almost a spiritual gateway, as if the river were deciding whether you were worthy of entering the magical realm beyond. It felt like something out of Lord of the Rings. On the way back, crossing that same river felt like the end of a great adventure and a reluctant return to reality. Bittersweet. We swam in the river, unplugged from the noise of modern life, and rediscovered the joy of life's bare essentials — things we’ve largely forgotten in an age of constant distraction. My partner had the chance to share a meaningful moment with members of the Indigenous community, which added a profound layer to her experience, as a Colombiana. For me, the highlight was the intimate dinners: shared meals in a communal space with fascinating people from around the world. Jorge, the host, is nothing short of exceptional. The dishes he and his small team prepared, using inventive techniques and local ingredients, weren’t just among the best I’ve had in Colombia but among the best I’ve had anywhere. If Jorge ever set his sights on opening a restaurant in the UK, I’ve no doubt it would be a huge success. But selfishly, I hope he doesn’t, because what he’s created here is something far rarer and far more magical.

Had the most fantastic stay at Hotel Hukumeizi. From the amazing food (most of which they grow themselves or source nearby, and you can tell), to the location, surrounded by nature, waterfalls and swimming spots at your doorstep, our stay here was absolute respite! Jorge & Co are building something special here, and we’re grateful we had the chance to experience it.

Only that we couldn’t stay longer!

This place massively surpassed our expectations! Jorge and the team were incredible, the food was unreal and the experience was so relaxing and peaceful. They really have something special here and I can see it only getting better. We feel honored to have spent time here. The natural waterfall, swimming spots, locals and views were such a treat, we even saw Monkeys! (Additionally they sorted all our transfers which was super helpful)

Abundant nature, in the middle of the forest in Minca.Large comfortable rooms. Great Value.

The road to get there was rough, but I enjoyed riding it on the motorcycle. That's the main thing to consider here you need an off-road vehicle to get there. Management can arrange it for you.
