Things to do in Santa Marta, Magdalena Department: The Best Beaches
The oldest city in Colombia, romantic Santa Marta is fringed by beautiful beaches and the stunning mountains of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta range. Ancient ruins take cover in the lush mangrove forests of Tayrona National Park, the perfect spot for a day hike. Snorkel along vibrant reefs, then make your way to a café for a multicultural meal that incorporates the flavors of Latin America, the Caribbean and Europe. When the sun goes down, the nightlife kicks up its heels in the bars and discos of the Parque de Los Novios.

Very nice and pleasant stay at Crystal beach. The water is super clean and you can see many yellow fishes very close to the sand. There are available chairs/umbrella to rent and a small restaurant.

It is located in Tairona Park. To go there you see the sea of the 7 waves, you can stay here or go to Cristal Beach. Very attractive place because of the mountains close to it.

Playa Blanca is located in north South America, Colombia, Magdalena Department, Santa Marta, Gaira (El Rodadero) And yes, the beach and sea are just beautiful, white sand emerald blue sea, calm waves, delicious fresh sea food… So far these words seem to be pretty standard for all who love the Ocean and Caribbean weather. However, for me it’s all about the mountains. Santa Marta is full of mountains and this particual sport has an easy to hike mountain. In just 15 minutes you will feel a real sense of freedom and just for a second, you will have a bird eye view of Playa Blanca and Santa Marta Mountains. Getting there is so easy and cheap. Round trip by boat, including typical sea dish Coconut rice, salad plus fried fish all for less than US 30. I rather went straight to the top of the mountain, sit there, watched the beautiful landscape and flew my drone. Anyway, feel free to canopy, swim or burn your skin if you want to do so! Is your first trip there? DON’T miss hiking. Have you been there? Well next time you comeback, you will have the chance to see it! So what do you think? Do you agree with me? It’s more about the mountains? Let me know in the comments!
