Santa Marta Free Tour

At the indicated time, we'll meet in the centre of Santa Marta. When we're all together, we'll begin this free tour of one of the oldest cities in South America. Ready to explore its origins?

We will begin to tell the history of Santa Marta by walking past its most important street murals, which portray key moments from the city's past. Afterward, we will walk to the monument to Rodrigo de Bastidas and talk about the life of the founder of Santa Marta.

We will continue the free tour by visiting the Gabriel García Márquez Library, which pays tribute to the famous Colombian author. To enjoy the republican architecture of Santa Marta, we will go to the Mayor's Office, one of its most emblematic buildings in the city.

While we talk about the customs and traditions of this area of Colombia, we will walk along 12th Street, filled with fabulous cultural centers. We will then visit the city's temple par excellence: the cathedral-basilica of Santa Marta.

After a stop to refresh ourselves with a traditional drink, we will resume the free tour of Santa Marta by strolling along the picturesque streets of Callejón del Correo and Calle Colonial.

Finally, we will return to the original starting point.

Groups

This free tour doesn't admit groups of more than 6 people, even if they book the activity separately.
