Santa Marta is a busy coastal city on the Caribbean coast of Colombia, one of the country’s oldest urban centers with a rich colonial history and warm tropical atmosphere.

Walks through the historic quarters reveal the architectural details and atmosphere of the past, and the promenades offer pleasant routes for evening walks.
