Santa Marta Excursion

We'll pick you up at your hotel in Barranquilla at 8 am and head east by minibus to Santa Marta, one of the oldest cities in the Americas.

After about two hours of driving, we'll go on a panoramic tour to explore its historic and colorful streets. During the tour, we'll enter the famous hacienda, Quinta de San Pedro Alejandrino, and admire the “El Pibe” Valderrama Monument. Do you know who this mythical soccer player was and why he is so famous? We'll find out on the tour!

Afterward, we'll stop at the Taganga viewpoint to take in unbeatable views of the port of Santa Marta and its bay. Then, we'll tour the old town while we talk about its history and customs.

At the end of the tour, we'll return to the minibus and head back to your hotel in Barranquilla, where we'll arrive at 3 pm.  

Tour with lunch

At the time of booking, you can choose the option that includes lunch. In this case, we'll pick you up at your hotel at 6 am and, after visiting the historic center of Santa Marta, we'll enjoy a delicious typical meal at a local restaurant.
