Is pure flavor. The city’s diversity is evident in its landscape, people, and each and every aspect of its culture; it is a destination that truly embraces its visitors and makes them feel at home.
What makes this city unique? Santa Marta’s beautiful terrain is its most distinguishing feature: its unforgettable landscapes in which the green foliage, blue sea, yellow sun and sand, and the contrast between the beaches and the white-peaked Sierra Nevada, make Santa Marta a must-see destination.
There are also about 30,000 people from the KOGI, ARHUACO, KANKUAMO, and WIWA indigenous ethnic groups that live in Santa Marta. In fact, Unesco declared the area a Biosphere Reserve and World Heritage Site in 1979.
Santa Marta is a captivating city with beaches and cultures that can help anyone disconnect. Santa Marta has activities for everyone, from losing yourself in the waves at a beach fringed with forest, to watching the colorful birds that seem to be trying to say something through their songs. Or, take a historic walk through the city and visit TAYRONA, the cultural heart of the city, and its colonial treasures.
The charm of the locals, with that characteristic touch of the Caribbean, is another factor that makes visiting Santa Marta so memorable.
