The streets of Ciénaga are home to grand houses, squares, and legends. Come with us to discover the place that inspired Gabriel García Márquez's most famous work on this day trip from Santa Marta.

Ciénaga Day Trip

At 8 am, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Santa Marta and set off on a 40-minute drive to Ciénaga. During the journey, we'll have a fruit snack.

Upon arrival in Ciénaga, the inspiration for Gabriel García Márquez's novel One Hundred Years of Solitude, we will explore its history. We'll stroll through the historic streets and discuss the town's origins and its economic boom in the early 20th century due to the growing banana industry.

During our visit, we'll see the pavilion, the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist, and other monuments that connect to García Márquez's literary work.

Next, we'll go to the Cordobita region to visit the volcano of Ciénaga. You'll have the opportunity to take a dip in its hot springs, learn about their healing properties, and enjoy a therapeutic mud massage.

Finally, we'll return to the minibus and head back to Santa Marta, arriving at approximately 2 pm.
