The first place we visit on the tour is known as Casa de la Aduana or Tayrona del Oro Museum, the museum allows us to observe different pieces of pre-Hispanic and modern indigenous art.

The second place we visit on the tour is related to the independence of Colombia, its name is Plaza Bolivar, In every place and corner of Colombia there is some place related to the same name 'Simon Bolivar', and here we explain a little of everything; pre-Hispanic history, history of independence, architecture, sculptures, etc. It almost feels like traveling back in time!
Continuing, we visit the San Francisco Square which is a very old place in Santa Marta, here you can appreciate the daily life and the local economy or well known as 'rebusque' in the popular Colombian slang. In this place they talk about the pirate attacks related to the Catholic religion in the Caribbean.
After San Francisco Square we head to the Cathedral Square, this church is called the mother of all churches in Colombia, it is here where you will learn about the religious customs in Santa Marta and the spooky superstitions of the city. It's also the perfect place to appreciate the Arab, colonial and Renaissance influences - don't forget your camera!
If you are a big fan of gastronomy, in this place we make you some recommendations about the typical dishes of the city and the restaurants you should visit in case you want to try them, it is a mix between colors and gastronomy, very interesting.
After a delicious meal, you may want a nighttime activity. We then visit Parque de los Novios, where we discuss Santa Marta’s nightlife. It is ideal for a romantic evening or a night with friends.
And finally, the juice place is the perfect place to talk about the typical fruits found in the Colombian Caribbean coast.
