Early Morning Photo Safari
On 01/16/2008

Restaurant La Vitrola
On 01/16/2008
| A bit pricey by Colombian standards, but by "First World" standards, a bargain (we paid something like $20-25 per person, with wine). The food was delicious, and the live music lent a nice ambiance. More >> Posted by Mike from Graz | 0 comments |

Hotel el Viajero

Ciudad Perdida (Lost City) Trek
On 01/16/2008

Residencias el Titanic
On 01/16/2008
| If you're on a tight budget, stay here. Over the course of coming and going in Santa Marta, we managed to stay in the three main backpacker places (Miramar and Casa Familiar are the others, one is... More >> Posted by Mike from Graz | 0 comments |
Day trip to Barichara
On 01/16/2008
