Santa Marta

Nature, History, and Culture by the Sea.

Between the Caribbean Sea and the Sierra Nevada, Santa Marta brings together extraordinary natural landscapes, historic heritage, and ancestral cultures that keep their traditions alive.

A City Between the Sierra Nevada and the Caribbean Sea.

 

Founded in 1525, Santa Marta is Colombia’s oldest city. Its historic center preserves traces of the colonial era, while its beaches, mountains, and tropical landscapes reveal the natural diversity of the Caribbean.

The Sierra Nevada, ancestral territory of the Kogui, Wiwa, Arhuaco, and Kankuamo Indigenous peoples, adds a cultural dimension that goes beyond sun-and-beach tourism. In Santa Marta, history, biodiversity, and ancestral knowledge come together in a region shaped by the relationship between its communities and their natural surroundings.
