Highlights
Punta Gallinas is the northernmost tip of South America, located at the northern end of the Guajira Peninsula in Colombia, facing the waters of the Caribbean Sea. It is an end of land that goes into the sea in a northwestern direction and closes a set of accidents that make up a bay of the peninsula that runs from Punta Gallinas to Cabo de la Vela or Jepirra (in Wayuu). Between both points are Puerto Bolivar, Bahía Portete and Bahía Honda. Near Punta Gallinas, there is a community of the Wayuu ethnic group, one of the few South American cultures that preserve intact their ancestral traditions. It is an impressive natural scenery of plateaus, dunes and rocky cliffs, which emerge from the sea, embracing Hondita Bay. It has an immense dune that reaches 60 meters high that rises like a wall right on the seashore.

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.
