Aracataca Day Trip

We'll pick you up from your hotel in Santa Marta at 8 am and travel to the inspiration for this landmark novel. After a 90 minute drive, we'll arrive in Aracataca. García Márquez's birthplace inspired the creation of Macondo, where much of One Hundred Years of Solitude occurs.

We'll begin our tour of Aracataca by visiting Telegrapher's House, which houses several copies of García Márquez's work and is a World Heritage Site. Additionally, we will visit the author's birthplace and San José Church, where he was baptized.

As we learn about the life and work of García Márquez, we will also visit other significant sites in Aracataca, including the school he attended and the Remedios the Beauty Municipal Library.

At the end of our tour, we will return to your hotel in Santa Marta, expecting to arrive at around 4 pm.
