About this experience
IMPORTANT- There is a dress code for this tour!
Swimwear, sandals, hats, sportswear, and sunglasses are NOT allowed! Furthermore, we do not allow any aspects of sex tourism either.
We are a group of local friends that host bar crawls in Colombia. We wanted to give foreigners and tourists a unique "locals' experience", so we started these bar crawls.
This bar crawl consists of 3 local bars and 1 disco bar/club, all located in the historic center of Santa Marta. Centro Histórico is one of the most popular nightlife areas among locals and tourists in Santa Marta. We will meet at the first bar at 8:30 pm to congregate and converse. We will then proceed to the next bars every hour, finally finishing off at the rooftop disco bar/club by 12:15 am.
Sometimes locals also come on our crawls, so you may have the opportunity to connect with some Colombians and practice your Spanish!
