This was perhaps the most personal and touching presentation I’ve ever heard at a museum. Shenandoah is a young American woman who married a local school teacher. They turned part of his family home into a memorial museum. It’s also the site where some of the bloodiest conflicts between guerrilla groups and paramilitary armies took place in the very recent past. Shenandoah’s presentation of those bloody conflicts sets out a very nice overview that helps one understand both the modern history of this country and the present economic and tourist dynamic of this fascinating place. Donations accepted and you will come away from the a much deeper appreciation for where you are.

A really great place. We went with our family of 6 (4 children) and this was a wonderful experience. The hike up to it is tiring but makes it all the more rewarding. Eugenio is a wonderful guide and made it so fun

While in Minca, do yourself a favour and visit this tiny museum / bar / restaurant and ask for a little tour from Mr. Cacao. This passionate owner will tell you everything this beautiful area has to offer and share some great stories while you enjoy a local beer or a delicious piece of chocolate. They have good breakfast too! Oh and don't forget to try The HUGE focaccia, it is exactly what you need after a long hike.

The water is fairly cold and as we were there during the Christmas holiday period it was pretty busy, but I would still highly recommend a visit to Pozo Azul. The sights on the way are beautiful and the facilities once you get there are better than we expected - there are food and drinks sellers there, and plenty of places to park your bum and have a seat if you don't want to get in the water. There are a number of ways you can get here from Minca. The easiest way is to jump on a moto-bike and have them zoom you up to the entrance, the middling route is to walk up the short way (which is all "proper" road) and the hardest way is to hike the long way round (go up the street to the side of the Police Station then follow the signs). I would recommend hiking up the long way round because it was lovely. We saw all sorts of birds and butterflies, as well as some lovely views. It's a fairly easy hike, but bits of it are steep and it was a pretty hot day, so the hike made us really appreciate the cold water once we got there! Then you can either get a moto-bike or walk back down the easy way. We chose to walk and I'm really glad we did as there are a number of little bars / coffee shops on the road that have glorious views, so we stopped at a couple and had a very pleasant stroll back down. If you have enough time to make a full day of it, then the whole experience of getting there and back is really worth taking your time over.
