1. I chose a beautiful city that you can visit with your family
and friends on vacation. Santa Marta is wonderful and an
excellent place which you can go in Colombia.

2. Santa Marta is located in
Magdalena department in
the north of the country and
on the shores of the
Caribbean Sea at the foothills
of the magnificent Sierra
Nevada of Santa Marta.

3. You can visit historic places of this
city, for example you can visit Santa
Marta Cathedral. This place is visited
by a lot of people on July 29th of each
year. It was first Cathedral build in this
country. There you can see the tomb
of Simon Bolivar; this place is very
popular in the Atlántico region.

4. And also you can visit La
Quinta de San Pedro
Alenjandrino. In this place
Simon Bolivar died. There
you find wonderful and big
gardens around.

5. Well, in this city you can go to beach, I recommend
Rodadero, It’s good. You can find a lot of people all day
and also you meet different people of other countries.
This beach is near down town and is very cheap. Or you
can take motorboat to go to other beach near there. For
example white beach, It‘s beautiful..! In this place you can
go snorkeling. or also you can walk for the shores ten
minutes and you find a small nudist beach.

6. You can go to CIUDAD PERDIDA, the most important
of the indigenous settlement discovered in the Sierra
Nevada. To 950 meters on the level of the sea and
with more than 250 terraces.

7. It’s virgin beaches, natural parks, exuberant
mountains, make of Santa Marta a city full of nature. It’s an
excellent place to visit, you will not regret.

8. SIERRA NEVADA DE SANTA MARTA, the highest mountain of the
world in front of the sea, lived by diverse ethnic and cultural
groups. Arhuacos, Kogis and the last descendants from the
Tayronas.

9. And if you have a lot of time you can visit other cities around, for
example Valledupar, Guajira, And Cartagena. These places are very
beautiful.
If you would like to go, you should make a list of the things that you
could need in this place, it's not hard to do! for example:
If you go to Santa Marta to know the sea, it’s not necessary to carry
a lot of thing because you can buy them there, it’s easy..! or you need
to carry little things with sandals, sunglasses, address of the hotel,
cash, light clothing, your insurance card, ID, bathing suit, sunscreen,
cap or hat, camera, batteries, if you go in high seasons you should take
a tent because the sun gets extremely bright and it's very sunny and
you don't find place where protect of the sun. Near the beach.
But if you go to other places you need to make a list and you should
carry other things besides the above.
