Playa Blanca
Tourist attraction
🫤 I was expecting as advised by a tourist guide a long beautiful beach, with very few people as can only be reached by boat. The beach was so crowded there was no space to sit or lie down unless you paid $50,000 for a beach shelter, which was in a continual row along the very small beach. It may have...

Bahía de Santa Marta
Tourist attraction
👍 The promenade offers excellent sea views, with lots of small boats and tons of options for rent. The people are friendly as well, though you will have to watch out for touts. There are lots of restaurants and drinking options along the promenade. This place, being a tourist district, is pricey as wo...

Simón Bolívar International Airport
International airport
🫤 I am mystified at all of the excellent reviews. Perhaps they went downhill recently, or I went on a bad day, but I can not recommend this airport, and would advise you to avoid it, if you can. (Which you probably can't, but you've been warned. ;-)
When you walk into the airport, there is one large...

Playa de Taganga
Beach
😠 These reviews are FAKE. Tourists should be avoiding this place at all costs. This beach is dirty, there is trash everywhere, boats are old and dirty, there are malnourished stray cats and dogs. The moment you get off the car, you are swamped with local tour guides overcharging (COP 60.000) and sayin...
