SANTA MARTA and TAGANGA: at the caribbean see

Current location: click here

Santa Marta is a well known colombian city at the Caribbean coast. It is third in size in the region after Cartagena and Barranquilla. Quoting Lonely Planet: "Santa Marta is the place where colombians go when they want sun on their backs, sand under their feet and rum in their glasses". Sounds like a good place to be! After 4 months, around 20.000 km and 7 countries I'm now there, at the Caribbean sea.
For many travelers Santa Marta is also the base for reaching Taganga beach, the Tayrona National Park and Ciudad Perdida (The Lost City).
