What to do in Santa Marta in three days

If you're planning a trip to Santa Marta and have three days to enjoy this beautiful city, here are some activities you can't miss.

Day one: Visit the beaches of Tayrona National Park

Tayrona National Natural Park is one of Santa Marta's most popular destinations. If you're traveling in a group, you can rent a private boat to have it at your disposal and plan your own activities. If you prefer a shared experience, you can opt for a sailing trip where you'll meet other people and enjoy a more intimate atmosphere if you travel in a small group.

Day two: Enjoy your hotel and take a City tour

In the morning, take some time to enjoy the comforts of your hotel and relax. In the afternoon, we recommend visiting El Rodadero, where Santa Marta's most visited beach is located. This is the perfect place to buy souvenirs and enjoy the beach. You can also take advantage of a City tour of Santa Marta, the second oldest city in Latin America. During the tour, you'll visit the Basilica, the first one built in Latin America, as well as the Gold Museum and Quinta de San Pedro de Alejandrino, places full of history and culture. End your day at a good restaurant in the historic center of the city.

Day three: Enjoy Minca

On your third day, we recommend visiting Minca, a charming village located in the mountains near Santa Marta. Here you can enjoy beautiful natural landscapes, waterfalls, and a wide variety of birds. You can hike along the trails, visit coffee farms, and relax in the midst of nature. Don't forget to try the region's coffee, renowned for its excellent quality.

With these three days in Santa Marta, you'll have the opportunity to enjoy beautiful beaches, learn about the history and culture of the city, and relax in nature. Don't miss the chance to have an unforgettable experience in this Colombian destination!
