Santa Marta
Getting Here & Around
Budget travelers come through to Santa Marta overland along a hippie trail that winds its way either from the palaces of Cartagena or from the beaches of Venezuela with interruptions in the paradisiacal Tayrona. If time is short, then Aerorepublica and Avianca have several flights a day from Bogotá, Medellín, and Cali.
