Santa Marta!
A destination that has it all
We are pure flavor
We are Santa Marta!
Santa Marta was the first city founded by the Spanish in South America (1525). The inhabitants of this area, the Tayrona Tribe, fought to preserve their identity to the point of locating themselves at altitudes of 900 and 1200 meters (4,000 feet), where they created their main headquarters and sacred site, Ciudad Perdida, in a mountainous massif that goes from the Caribbean Sea to the snowy peaks.
