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 García Márquez's novel One Hundred Years of Solitude, we'll begin exploring its history. We'll stroll through the historic streets and discuss the town's beginnings and its economic boom in the early 20th century due to the growing banana industry.

We'll also visit the pavilion, the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist, and various other monuments related to García Márquez's literary work.

Next, we'll head 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 its healing properties, and enjoy a therapeutic mud massage.

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