We'll begin by welcoming you to El Rodadero, where you can soak up the sun, savor tropical drinks, and experience the local beach life. As the sun sets, you'll take a stroll through Parque de los Novios, a vibrant square brimming with live music, street food, and Caribbean vibe. It's the perfect introduction to your Santa Marta adventure.
Day Two – Tayrona National Park: Jungle Trails & Wild Beaches
We will start early and take you into the heart of Tayrona National Park. You will hike through dense jungle paths and discover stunning beaches like Cabo San Juan. You will swim in crystal-clear waters, rest under palm trees, and feel the untouched magic of Colombia’s Caribbean coast.
Day Three – Calm Beaches & Fishing Village Vibes
We will start the day by heading to Playa Blanca or Inca Inca, two peaceful beaches just minutes from town. You will swim in calm waters, taste freshly grilled seafood, and unwind in true local style. In the afternoon, we will take you to Taganga, a colorful fishing village where you will enjoy the sunset with live music and a laid-back coastal vibe.
Day Four – Minca: Rest, Coffee & Jungle Air
We will drive you up the Sierra Nevada to Minca, a mountain town surrounded by nature. You will check into a jungle eco-lodge, then take the day slow. You can start with morning yoga or a dip in the pool. Later, we’ll visit a coffee or cacao farm, where you will learn how these local products are made. You’ll end the day with mountain views and a peaceful sunset.
Day Five – Minca: Waterfalls, Hikes & Scenic Lookouts
We will start by hitting the trails. You will hike through lush terrain to visit Marinka Falls and Pozo Azul, two of Minca’s most refreshing spots.
