Citytour in Santa Marta, history, monument and cathedral

Hotel pickup and meeting point

After pickup from the hotels and meeting point we head to the first stop that is the Monument of the Valderrama pibe, gigantic bronze sculpture, 6 meters high and weighing more than eight thousand kilos, by the master Amílcar Ariza, has captivated foreigners and samarians alike. The statue has a great charm, you can see that the artist demanded himself thoroughly, “stuck the token” – as they say in football slang – and that is perceived in the rich details of the work.

Then we head to the Bay of Santa Marta, a bay of the Caribbean Sea located north of the department of Magdalena, in Colombia. Its waters bathe the city of Santa Marta, the country’s second port in the Caribbean.

In the immediate vicinity of the bay is the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, which is the highest intertropical mountain in the world on the seashore. It is known as the most beautiful Bay in America

Then we do not go to the international navy, it is a renowned marina located in the beautiful city of Santa Marta, Colombia. Renowned for its strategic location and welcoming atmosphere, this place offers a wide range of services and amenities for boaters and visitors. From secure moorings and fueling to accommodation, events and business premises.

Next stop is the park of the bride and groom, or Santander Park is a public space located in the historic center of Santa Marta, in the Colombian department of Magdalena. It houses several buildings of heritage value and is one of the gastronomic and tourist centers of the city.

Then we head to the cathedral church or Sagrarian Parish and San Miguel is a Renaissance style Catholic temple located in the historic center of Santa Marta, Colombia. It was the first built in ecclesiastical jurisdiction in South America.[1]1] In the 19th century, it housed the remains of Simon Bolivar for 12 years. Since 1953 it has housed the remains of Rodrigo de Bastidas, the founder of the city. However, the oldest church in Colombia is the church of San Francisco in Bogotá, built between 1557 and 1560.

The sea wall of Bastidas is one of the most emblematic points of Santa Marta, where natural beauty meets the sea breeze and a vibrant atmosphere. This coastal space is ideal for enjoying a day outdoors, while enjoying the spectacular panoramic views of the sea and the city.
