Hi...
My name is Henry Sastoque and today, I want to
invite you to know the oldest city in Colombia and the second oldest city in
South America. It is also known as the capital of the Magdalena’s department

historical places such as: Rodrigo Statue of Bastidas, Statues of India and the
Tayrona’s Indian, Santa Marta’s Cathedral, Church of San Francisco, Quinta de
San Pedro Alejandrino, among others.
Besides, Santa Marta has different beaches like:
El Rodadero, Taganga, playa de Arrecifes, playa Cristal, playa Blanca, playa Grande,
among others. Places where you can go, visit and stay in comfortable hostels to
rest close to the sea. You can also enjoy the beaches doing different activities
such as: ecological hikes, diving or snorkel.
Additionally,
it also has a very cute and magical place where you can relax, learn and enjoy
as the Tayrona’s National Park considered as one of the biggest attractions in
Santa Marta, with crystal clear water, white sand and one of the most beautiful
bays of America.
You can
