November 9, 2021 Concepcion Newsome

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.

Rio Don Diego

Reviewed By clioandcoffee - Toronto, Canada

Took the bus to "Don Diego" from near our resort, Ecohabs Los Naranjos, (bus: ~15 minutes, stop neat to a fruit stand, towards Palomino, $3,000 but they charged us $4,000 for being gringos I think). The tubing company is right where the bus drops you off. We got William, he was perfecto. $60,000 per person and they keep your bags for you. You can also buy a waterproof case for your phone, they'll show you where. Bring water and sunscreen. A few of us got burnt and didn't have sunscreen until we got back to our bags. Bring a few pesos for the end, there's drinks and snacks to buy. Roughly 45 minute cruise, very slow, saw a crocodile (very safe distance), lots of monkeys, beautiful birds and jumping fish at the end. Totally worth it. We bought some fruit on our way back to the bus, probably not the cheapest fruit but super amazing. Try not to fall asleep too hard on your bus ride back!
