Santa Marta is the oldest city in South America — and this tour lets you taste its history while you walk through it.
We meet at Plaza Simón Bolívar, at the entrance of Museo del Oro Tayrona, where we begin with a visit inside one of Colombia's most important pre-Columbian museums. Discover the extraordinary gold craftsmanship of the Tayrona civilization — museum entry is fully included in your price.
From there we stroll along the waterfront Malecón with its stunning views of the bay, stopping for authentic street food and a refreshing local drink that reflects the Caribbean flavors and culinary traditions of the region.
The tour ends back at Plaza Simón Bolívar, where you can browse local artisan crafts and handmade souvenirs from Santa Marta's talented local craftspeople — available for purchase at an additional cost.
You'll leave with a full stomach, a full camera roll, and a real understanding of why Santa Marta is unlike any other city in Colombia.
