5Hugo was the best guide...
Hugo was the best guide we could have had during our drive from Santa Marta to Cartagena. From the very first moment, he made sure the trip was enjoyable and entertaining, sharing with us his love and deep knowledge of Colombia’s history and culture. We made a stop in Barranquilla, where Hugo took the time to take our photos and let us stop for a relaxed lunch. His warmth, patience, and dedication made the whole trip an unforgettable experience. I cannot recommend him enough!

About Santa Marta
Santa Marta is Colombia's oldest surviving colonial city, a Caribbean port below the Sierra Nevada and close to Tayrona Park and the Lost City trail.
Founded by the Spaniards in 1525, Santa Marta is the oldest surviving colonial city in Colombia, set on a bay where the Sierra Nevada, the highest coastal mountain range on earth, drops almost to the sea. Simón Bolívar died in 1830 at the Quinta de San Pedro Alejandrino, a hacienda just outside the centre, now a museum with botanical gardens. The old town has a cathedral, a seafront promenade and a gold museum in a colonial house.
