Santa Marta Hotels - Reviews and Rates

Before I tell you about the AMAZING Caribbean Coast I have some very bad news. My computer recently crashed and I lost everything saved to the hard drive... including ALL my photos from the past several months!!! UGH!!! I am trying really hard to be optimistic since there is a chance a computer tech might be able to recover my photos and journal...

The whole trip to santa marta the guys were going on about how they craved a steak! So we arrived at night and went out looking for a steak. Karrina communicated with a guy through sign and sound language ¨mooooooooooooo¨as he didn't speak English and we don't speak Spanish, and he recommended a good steak place. The boys ordered their steaks an...

Santa Marta is about 4 hours by bus from Cartagena, also on the coast but is completely different from Cartagena. The city is surrounded by hills and not far away you have the Sierra Nevada . People are a lot more Caribbean if you know what I mean.... It is not very big but definitely it is noisy and sadly very dirty, the beach and ocean are not...

04/06/2008 - T We did shopping in the morning and sorted out cash, no ATM´s in Taganga, and headed to this small dive town. So hot, very relaxed and a luxurious hostel! Got some quotes for diving and had the worlds biggest pizza. Going back tomorrow. Lizzie´s toe nail has now come off completely...nice. 10/06/2008 It´s been a busy week, we´ve be...

like i said, quite a crazy itinery, and after the quick hop to manizales, i was back in Bogota, to meet my friend amanda, who made it all the way from oz to hook up for her first holiday overseas. Well what a start, as she arrived minus her luggage and stood there somewhat shaken up, only to have me greet her and let her know, we had a couple of...

Ever found yourself somewhere so hot that the compulsory cold showers have you screaming "not cold enough!"? That's Santa Marta. The sea breeze eventually rises from its slumber and offers some relief in the evening, but by then my clothes have taken on a brown complexion to accompany the rank odour they spew forth without effort. It was certain...

this is the story of our epic hike to ciudad perdida (¨the lost city¨). it is full of intrigue (why is it called "the lost city" if it is very obviously found?), exotic junglescapes (and spiders on our mosquito nets), and more sweatiness than i will write about. the city is a group of large terraces built into the mountainside by the now-extinc...

8 December, 2005 Locombia - The Crazy Country Santa Marta, Colombia - Choking dust fills the air. Plastic bags swirl over bony, lifeless stray dogs. Shanty towns made of tarps, sticks, mud and garbage line the road. Shoddy merchandise piled high on pallets waits to be moved. Locals stand around looking distraught but edgy. Cripples limp up to ou...
