Description

The Colombian Caribbean proudly protects three beautiful pearls. On the slopes of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta lies the most beautiful bay in America, Curramba la Bella, which welcomes you to the rhythm of cumbia and carnival music, and La Heroica, which extends its imposing wall protecting the history of the city.

A unique landscape, cradle of magical realism, is presented with the contrast between the green of the mountains of the Sierra and the blue of the Caribbean Sea, surrounding Santa Marta. A tour of the city center tells you why it was one of the favorite places of the liberator Simón Bolívar, visiting the Quinta de San Pedro Alejandrino, the Gold Museum and the Port of the Bay.

In Barranquilla you will be dazzled by the mouth of the imposing Magdalena River, the largest in Colombia, in the Caribbean Sea. Enjoy the progress of the city that is experienced in the offer of shopping centers, boutiques, the Gran Malecón del Río and the Window to the world. In Cartagena, enjoy a tour of the historic center with its streets, squares and emblematic balconies, as well as enjoying the beautiful beaches of the Rosario Islands.
