Archaeological museum
👍👍 An amazing journey. A few tips. This is a very difficult hike. I do believe that most people in good physical condition could do it, but they may not have fun. We had a woman in our group who had very little hiking experience, she did it, but you could tell it wasn't all that fun for her. But I...

👍👍 When I learned that there was scuba diving in Tayrona National Park, I wanted to go. Santa Marta Dive Center came highly recommended, so I reached out to Leo, telling him that I wanted to go diving.

👍👍 We went on a day tour in motorcycle and scooter with Colombian Riders the day before leaving Santa Marta. Our guide took us to some hidden waterfalls and private beachs where he taught us during a couple of hours surfing. It was all inclusive, the guide speaks quite well english.

Mirador de Inca Inca
Hiking area
👍 BE CAREFUL ON THIS PATH THEY STEAL. On September 23, 2022, 3 men each on motorcycles robbed us (early in the morning), they intimidated us and stole our bags with our cell phones. We had already gone several times and we did so confidently because nothing ever happened to us, you even see people who...

Travel agency
👍👍 Stop searching, Turcol is the tour guide you need! We had an amazing experience with Turcol, they were incredibly attentive with us, taking good care of us along the whole trek. They work with smaller groups than other companies, so that they can connect with each of us personally. They are clearly...

Museo QUINTA DE SAN PEDRO ALEJANDRINO
Museum
👍👍 One of the most important places and tourist attractions in the city, because that was where the liberator Simón Bolívar was in his last days before dying.

La Piscinita
Park
😠 Terrible service. They charge to enter per person, the motorcycle service is a theft. And the worst thing is the meals... expensive and they don't give you the option to choose honestly. Additionally, the area where the dogs are taken care of (since they prohibit the entry of pets) looks like a pris...

Playa Lipe
Tourist attraction
👍👍 Special for lovers of deserted beaches. It can be accessed by boat or on foot but the path is long and somewhat difficult. You must bring food and drinks because there are no services. The beach is wild and very wide.
