    One of the best free walking tours I've taken anywhere in the world. Javier is incredible; you can tell he loves his job; he makes the city of Santa Marta even more beautiful and interesting! Lots of history, tips on what to eat and do in the surrounding area, and above all, a very entertaining tour. Highly recommended!

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.
