Magdalena - Santa Marta Cruise Shuttles

Along the northern coast of Colombia, the province of Magdalena is home to a vibrant port community, especially in its capital city of Santa Marta. A gateway into the northernmost part of the country, the city is a haven for cruise ships, the main arrival point located along the Santa Marta Marina, AKA Marina Internacional, a spacious pier and beachfront plaza that connects boats to the main downtown area. Close to this area is Turcol, a major tourism center home to helpful information as well as urban hiking tours lead by expert local guides. In addition to an easy walkable layout, guests can maneuver through several beachfront promenades and Spanish-colonial architecture with a private transfer, whether it be a simple sedan or a spacious SUV. Meet-and-greet services also adds to the beauty through the backdrop with slow-moving transfers ranging from local personal drivers who can showcase the island’s best side, or chauffeured limousine perfect for getting dropped off at the most upscale of Colombian restaurants.

Most of Santa Marta’s coolest attractions can be found along the north side of Calle 22 (Road 22), a central roadway that divides the city’s residential sector from its business. Go on a tour through the region’s architecture, starting with the San Juan de Dios Marbella’s 17th-century walls and the interesting Tayrona Monument, each located at the start of Calle 22. Between these two locales is the Old Museum Hospital San Juan de Dios, home to a scenic courtyard plaza often used as a meeting place for big groups. Another great place to watch people go by in the early morning hours is Parque de Los Novios (‘Lovers Park’), beloved for its vibrant street performance atmosphere and easy access to outdoor euro-style dining, while a more refined seaside ambiance found in the further north gardens of Simon Bolivar Park.
