Your experience begins with a pickup from your hotel, after which we will set off to the Quinta de San Pedro Alejandrino. Recognized as a Shrine of the Homeland by the Colombian government, this hacienda is notable for being the final residence of Simón Bolívar. As we admire its impressive façade, we'll delve into the compelling history surrounding this landmark.
Next, we will navigate through the principal avenues, witnessing some of the most significant buildings and monuments in Santa Marta. We will also explore the charming parks and colonial architecture of the old town before arriving at the Cathedral Basilica of Santa Marta. This historic cathedral was once the burial site for the remains of Simón Bolívar and currently holds the remains of Rodrigo Bastidas, the city's founder.
Continuing our adventure, we will reach Santa Marta Bay, where we will share insights into the indigenous civilizations that thrived here prior to the Spanish arrival in the 16th century. Our journey will also include a visit to the iconic Pibe Valderrama Statue, paying tribute to one of Colombia's legendary footballers!
The final destination of our tour is Taganga, a picturesque fishermen's neighborhood by the coast. Here, we will take a leisurely stroll along the beach, savoring the views from one of the famous coastal lookout points.
