Hi, I'm Javier! Professional tour guide, passionate about history and innate interpreter of Colombian culture. My passion is sharing, so it is a pleasure to host travelers from all over the world and learn from each one of them and that they can do it from me.
Hello, I'm Javier and I invite you to visit the most iconic places in the historic center of the city of Santa Marta, taking a tour through the culture and history of the city appreciating places such as:
If you like to know details and curious facts, this will be an ideal plan for you, allow me to be your guide on this adventure.
In front of the Tairona Gold Museum, with a black backpack and my tour guide accreditation.
The gold museum allows us to observe different pieces of pre-Hispanic and current indigenous art. In this wonderful place we will talk about who the Taironas were and why they became extinct. On the other hand, as its name indicates, we can appreciate pieces of gold.
In every place and corner of Colombia there is some place related to the same name "Simón Bolivar", and here we explain a little bit of everything; pre-Hispanic history, independence history, architecture, sculptures, etc. It almost feels like traveling back in time!
The San Francisco square is a very old place in Santa Marta, here you can appreciate the daily life and local economy or well known as "rebusque" in the popular Colombian slang. In this place we talk about the pirate attacks related to the catholic religion in the caribbean.
This church is called the mother of all churches in Colombia, it is here that you will learn about the religious customs in Santa Marta and the spooky superstitions of the city. It is also the perfect place to appreciate the arabic, colonial and renaissance influences. Don't forget your camera!
In this place we make some recommendations about the typical dishes of the city and the restaurants that you should visit in case you want to try them, it is a mix between colors and gastronomy, very interesting.
Here we talk about the nightlife of the city of Santa Marta, is an ideal place to spend a night of romance or with friends, its name is not originally "Parque de los Novios" and that's what we'll talk about there.
This is the perfect time to breathe and relax a little listening to the sound of the waves, while walking along the boardwalk of the bay. The scenery of this place is amazing especially during sunset.
The juice place is the perfect spot to talk about the typical fruits that we find in the Colombian Caribbean coast. Here we will give some explanations as a "fruit class" and we will taste one, remember that part of traveling is to try rare things for yourself. At the end you will be able to buy a 100% natural juice if you wish.
Free tours do not have a set price, instead, each person gives the guru at the end of the tour the amount that he or she considers appropriate (these usually range from €10 to $50 depending on satisfaction with the tour).
