3-Hour Tour

We'll pick you up from your hotel and head to Parque de los Novios, an urban area ideal for exploring Santa Marta's history.

For a longer experience, the 5-hour tour follows the same route but includes a visit to Quinta de San Pedro Alejandrino, a 17th-century estate featuring a colonial mansion, contemporary art museum, botanical garden, and the Altar de la Patria. We’ll explore the estate and then head to a public market to sample local ingredients, concluding with a visit to El Rodadero Beach.

8-Hour Tour

Choose the 8-hour tour for a more in-depth experience. This includes all previous visits and allows you to select between Taganga, with free beach time, or Minca, where you can visit Marinka Waterfalls or a coffee farm.
