    We had a really great experience with our guides Paola and Marcello. Thank you again! We got a lot of information about the land and the people. The food and accommodations were far better then expected for the jungle. Transport from hotel was also on time. Its really humid and it rains everyday at 4 so make smart choices with your clothes Its really tough so dont do it if your not fit or have experience hiking. We are man age 34 who sport twice a week and it was a tough cookie.

Top Tours and Activities in Santa Marta | Book Online

Santa Marta is a vibrant city on Colombia's Caribbean coast, where golden beaches meet lush mountains. With its warm climate, friendly locals, and lively seafront promenade, this destination is a magnet for travelers seeking sun, culture, and adventure. Home to fascinating history and spectacular natural parks, it is the perfect gateway to explore the best of Colombia’s coastal charm.

A Glimpse into the Past

Founded in 1525, Santa Marta is the oldest surviving city in Colombia and one of the first Spanish settlements in South America. Its colonial architecture, old cathedral, and ancient streets tell stories of pirates, conquerors, and trade from centuries past, giving every visit a touch of historical magic.

Best Time to Visit

Santa Marta enjoys warm weather all year round, making it great for a visit any time. However, the months from December to April are especially popular due to less rain and refreshing sea breezes. These months are perfect for beach activities and exploring Tayrona National Park.

Is it easy to get around?

Most attractions are within a short drive or walk from the city center. Taxis, buses, and tours make it easy to visit nearby beaches, national parks, and other points of interest.

What should I pack?

Light clothing, sunscreen, a hat, and comfortable shoes are essential. If you plan to visit the mountains or the jungle, don’t forget insect repellent and a rain jacket.
