Santa Marta
CARIBBEAN COAST · SIESTA · TAYRONA GATEWAY
South America's oldest city is the door to Tayrona's jungle beaches and the Sierra Nevada.
The plan
Tayrona park overnight
Hike jungle paths to Cabo San Juan, sleep in a hammock over the beach.
Playa Cristal by boat
The park's clearest water — numbers capped, go early.
Minca's waterfalls
The mountain village above the heat: coffee farms, Marinka falls, hammock sunsets.
The Lost City trek
Four days through Kogi territory to terraces older than Machu Picchu.
Historic center evenings
Parque de los Novios fills with tables when the heat breaks.
