Santa Marta, on Colombia’s Caribbean coast, (see map from Expedia), boasts a fine natural harbor and splendid views, but that’s only part of the reason the Spaniards chose it for their first settlement. Air-conditioned busses run daily to Bogotá and other cities, plus local runs to nearby communities, and Tayrona Park. San Andres island is small; it is a tender port. There are some vendors and taxis waiting on the street when you arrive at a small, non-commercial jetty. You can rent a car from places in-town and drive around the total perimeter. You can snorkel at a spot where there were many fish, not pretty ones, but hungry little ones who want to be fed. You can also stop at a hole in the ground where water sprayed up on occasion, and a woman’s house who sold painted fish made of driftwood. Where can you find the perfect mix between the adrenaline of zip lining, wall climbing, and mountain bike riding, or trekking in the mountain and the beauty and peace of nature? Come with us to the Natural Reserve Mamancana for this all-around experience. Temperatures in the city of Santa Marta ranges from 27 to 35 degrees Celsius at sea level, but the Municipality of Santa Marta stretches up to the highest snowy peaks of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta and each 100 meter of higher altitude means 1 Celsius lower temperature. Santa Marta is a bit rough around the edges but again the people are the most friendly we have come across on this trip. Founded in 1525 by Roger de Bastidas, Santa Marta is ideally located for visits to the Santa Marta mountain range, second in height only to the Andes running through Colombia and two national parks.
