Santa Marta

Oye chicos,

Today I present you Santa Marta. We cover two days here, because I actually didn’t do too much the first night and the second we right away left to a more vacation-tourist-focused beach town 15min down south called Rodadero.

I also pretty much liked the Photostory formate as it is easier to digest..

Enjoy!

Taking a bus from San Gil to Santa Marta. 12 hours sounded scary, but after the ride turned out even 13+ hours we had a good ride. As we left at 8pm, we slept the main chunk and the seats were super comfortable. In the morning they even let some local vendors enter to serve us café, deditos, empanadas etc. Shouts out to Cotrans.. bus company.
It got a little freezy in the night.
Arriving to super sunny Santa Marta around 10am
Our hostel La Brisa Loca, With a pool at its center.
Some fun pool rules…
The bar I … Hosting crazy parties
The bar II … With the spinning wheel
An amazing acrylic? painting
The rooftop I
The rooftop II
Santa Marta mainstrip. Wasn’t that amazing as it had dark sand (ok…) and was so damn dirty…
With pretty limited food options at the “Uferpromenade” (Beach Strip)
…dirty due to the big port right next to it. We saw big container ships passing and the air + water really had a thick gasoline touch to it. So overall, … All locals told us to either go to “parque tayrona” in the north or Rodadero beach town.
Here the overview of Tayrona Parque. To the far left downwards you see “Santa Marta” and the ‘entry’ city to it called “Taganga”.
