Parks & Nature

The most beautiful place in town. Also the place where Simón Bolívar died. It's a botanical garden, and it has some of the prettiest trees in the area. An absolute must.

Just wow. A humbling and incredible place, full of magic, which encapsulates perfectly everything that is wonderful about this place. The caribbean sea as you will never see it, the mountain, the rocks, the river beds, the nature, the sunsets, the heritage.

The closest Tayrona beach to Santa Marta. 12 km from downtown. Advisable to do a bike tour there very early in the morning. Watch out during high season or on Sundays, it usually gets very crowded.

Charming little park in front of the local Justice Palace. The bust is Francisco de Paula Santander, one of Colombia's founding fathers. Dancing crews use the rotonda for practice, it gets quite busy during weekends and holidays.

Food Scene

The great Mañe Cayón had this fisherie way back when Los Cocos was a fishermen's beach, and the favorite spot of Samarios to come on a Sunday. Now the place has been transformed, but Mañe is still selling sea food. Our favorite is the Ceviche de Ají Amarillo, or the Red Snapper. Also the Cayeye Mañe with a Sierra filet. Only opens for lunch.

Sightseeing

It's supposed to be the oldest cathedral in South America. According to the legend, the heart of Simon Bolivar is still buried there. The full body was, until Venezuela claimed it for itself. Still, Santa Marta's cathedral is the most iconic building of the city. Take a look at the bonga's a concerned citizen planted alongside the building (northern side). If you drop by early in the morning, you'll see him watering them. They will look amazing when they grow older, and will tell the story of a man who cared enough to change the world around him.

The oldest and biggest colonial house in town. This is where the tax authority was located, and also where Simón Bolivar wake was held. It is now the setting for the local Museo del Oro, which is also worth checking out. Closes on Mondays.
