Landforms Around Minca Encourage Extremes in Biodiversity Minca Colombia Minca's landforms give the area a great range of biodiversity and a modified climate compared to that of Santa Marta which is only about 25 miles away. The temperatures around Minca offer a great change from Santa Marta. Climate data for the area shows that Minca would normally be at least 5˚F cooler than Santa Marta due to Minca's higher altitude, average temperature is about 22˚C. After 2 or 3 weeks of 30˚C+ temperatures on the coast it's time for a change. Located at the 2100 foot level or around 650 meters you can get a chill at night. About Minca
This is a special little town, if you are like me and have lived many years in cities or close to them, a place like Minca is a great relief, to enjoy the quiet isolation and the unhurried lifestyle. You are very far away from everything but it is possible to find yourself in the middle of Santa Marta or Barranquilla within a couple hours.
