This odd post on Minca makes me question the validity of any list on this site, which would be easily apparent to anyone who has been to Minca. The cost of living ($4,000+ USD) is based on if you paid per night at one of the fanciest hotels in Minca. Minca is a small, out in the middle of nowhere place that has a collection of hostels advertising yoga retreats, nature, horse rides, partying, etc. along with some hotels. Locals who own homes in Minca either live there and make a living off of farming or the tourist industry, or they use the country home as an escape from city life. Thus, there probably are not many Airbnbs or apartments for rent in Minca, and the Internet connection is probably either not great or not existent (I remember the hostel had a generator which would kick on during power outages). It's more a place you travel to if you are in the area of Santa Marta.
