Quinta de San Pedro Alejandrino

This final home of Simon Bolivar contains a museum housing works of art from countries he helped liberate.

Reviewed By marciaa513 - Hanoi, Vietnam

This landmark where Simon Bolivar spent his final days is a reminder that Santa Marta has so much more to offer than just beautiful beaches and good sea food. The "libertador" of South America is a figure well worth learning about and no better place than this. You can see the original structures of Bolivar's hacienda, as well as the monuments that have been raised in his honor. I also highly recommend using one of the young local guides who provide a 40-minute informative tour and are eager to answer visitors' questions. They are paid in tips only and do a great job. We spent about an hour here and it's only about 15 minutes from the historic center or Rodadero beach. Don't miss it!

Museo del Cacao de Minca

Reviewed By Mares_Aris

While in Minca, do yourself a favour and visit this tiny museum / bar / restaurant and ask for a little tour from Mr. Cacao. This passionate owner will tell you everything this beautiful area has to offer and share some great stories while you enjoy a local beer or a delicious piece of chocolate. They have good breakfast too! Oh and don't forget to try The HUGE focaccia, it is exactly what you need after a long hike.

Playa Blanca

Reviewed By Vidjcb

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!
