Santa Marta Ranches - Reviews and Rates

After a long drive, with very expensive toll fees, we arrived in Santa Marta early evening. Santa Marta is one of the favorite vacation spots for Columbians. The city was much larger then I expected and it was very busy. It actually reminded me a lot of Asia. There were stalls and carts crowding the sidewalk and people mulling around everywhere....

Santa Marta is not a city of many attractions. It is however the first place we dip our toes into the Caribbean sea. But our reason for stopping here is to arrange a trek to Ciudad Perdida, the lost city. Built around 800AD, it was abandoned and completely covered by the jungle until its ´discovery´in the 1970s when tomb raiders started finding ...

I'm here in Tayrona, the hidden paradise of Colombia. Saturday morning I ran some errands fro the trip, and then took a cab to the bus to Santa Marta. I grabbed the first bus to Santa Marta, and once it was full we took off. It was tight, hot, and after about twenty minutes in the road, we broke down. Fortunately they were able to fix the proble...

I decided not too do a 6day trek ,as i was a bit lazy plus the walk involved no snow so i decided to spend my last week Venezuela. We went to Tayrona Beach which was meant to be one of the best beaches around. We camped which was relatively fine apart from the mosquito's . You never get used to them , in fact they have ruined plenty of nights sl...

Unreal here. Will stay for a few months. Renting an apartment with Diane. Will write more later.

Para despedirnos del caribe decidimos venirnos a Santa Marta que es el punto de salida para el parque Tayrona, uno de las reservas naturales de Colombia donde es posible encontrarte con playas caribeñas para tu uso y disfrute y lugar de los indígenas Tayrona. For the farewell to the Caribbean we decided came to Tayrona Park, one of the natural r...

Well we made it back in one piece and now the trek is over, I can say I'm really glad that I did it. Although there were plenty of times during the 6 days that I wished I'd never started or went to sleep dreaming of a helicopter that would come and pick us up! For those of you that don't know, Ciudad Perdida (which literally means Lost City) is ...

Today we took it easy. We walked around Rodadero for hours, ate a big lunch, then went back to our apartment and took long naps. That night we went to a small club on the beach for drinks. It was completely entertaining beacuse we saw two amazing things - the drunkest person I have ever seen that was still conscious, and the bushiest eyebrows ev...

I have just returned from a 6 day trek through the Colombian jungle to visit La Cuidad Perdida or The Lost City. The scenery was absolutely amazing and it is obvious now why the government has lost control of about 40% of the country and the war on drugs is about useless. Considering that Colombia is roughly the size of France and Spain combined...
