Some of the most recommended beaches are: Cabo San Juan, Playa Cristal, Playa Blanca, Bahía Concha, Taganga and Playa Grande.
To get to know the indigenous culture:
In the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta there are 4 indigenous groups: the Wiwas, the Kogis, the Arhuacos and the Kankuamos. It is a nice experience to get to know their culture. They have opened, to a certain extent, the doors of their villages to make them known to people who respectfully wish to learn about their worldview.
If you decide to visit them, remember that you should always have a lot of respect for their customs, do not take pictures if they do not authorize you to do so and be eager to enjoy a different experience. Some of the tours we recommend you to do are: Atazi trip, Nikwali, Pueblo Kogui Sewiaca and of course Ciudad Perdida.
