You’ll be picked up from the hotel to where we start the tour at the Rodadero, just ten minutes away from Santa Marta. One of the most visited places in the city, here you’ll find the life and soul of the city with its collection of bars, restaurants and hotels all set against the backdrop of the Caribbean Sea. Next we take you back in time to the 17th century Quinta de San Pedro Alejandrino, the location where the famed liberator Simon Bolivar died in 1820. At the time the estate produced rum, honey and panela and here you can still admire the architecture from that period. Continue further back in time to pre-Columbian times at the Gold Museum. A fine colonial mansion, also called Casa de la Aduana, the museum was completely renovated in 2014 and houses a fine collection of pre-Columbian gold and Tayrona objects. Head through the historic city centre of Santa Marta before travelling 5km north to Taganga Bay, an idyllic fishing village surrounded by desert mountains and clear waters.
