Downstairs · by the river
Downstairs: the river, the timber deck and slow mornings.

The house
Casa Maracuyá is the yellow house on the lower grounds, on stilts with a bamboo roof over the upper terrace. The finca describes it as “located directly on the Rio Gaira”, and you can tell: from the timber deck you hear the water, and the private river access is a few steps away. Inside, two doubles with balconies, a six-bed room, a well-equipped kitchen and porches with hammocks.
National Tourism Registry 68041.
01
The river
The river coming down from the Sierra runs past the house: pools between boulders, the shade of tall trees and a riverside yoga spot the finca mentions in its listings. It’s this place’s great simple luxury.
After heavy rain upstream the Gaira rises fast: ask before swimming.
02
The deck
Hammocks, a round table and the forest all around: the deck is the house’s living room. People read, talk, stare into the green and listen to the river.
03
The kitchen
A shared kitchen with fridge, stove, oven, juicer, espresso maker, kettle and toaster, per the finca; green windows, a round table and the door open to the hammocks. Guests call it “fully stocked”.
04
Slow mornings
Yellow porches with a hanging chair, outdoor tables and a noticeboard of local plans: the place for the first coffee and for deciding, unhurried, what to do with the day.
05
Fire
A rustic shed with a fireplace and grill among the bamboo and, by the river, the palm-thatched choza where the finca has cooked wood-fired sancocho. Plans for the group, not a restaurant with opening hours.

Spaces and services
We separate what belongs to the house from what belongs to the whole finca. “Per the finca” marks what the listing says but we couldn’t check.

Questions
From Minca centre you walk towards Pozo Azul; the finca describes about 300 m to a wooden gate on the left. Confirm the entrance on WhatsApp before you arrive.
There is not always someone at the door: share your approximate arrival time.

It’s humid forest by a river: windows have screens and there are fans, but bring repellent and long sleeves for dusk. If you’re sensitive to damp, ask about Casa Quinta too.
With care: the water is cold, the rocks are slippery and there’s no lifeguard. After heavy rain upstream the Gaira can rise suddenly; in October 2026 IDEAM issued alerts for Minca.
The finca’s reception works 8:00–20:00, but there isn’t always someone at the house door: share your approximate arrival time.
They share the same description (double bed, private bathroom, balcony). In the listing photos one has a red wall and the other a green one; the exact view depends on the room.
