Historical Santa Marta walking tour

Wonderful walking tour of the old city and the Quinta of San Pedro Alejandrino which is the estate where Simon Bolivar passed away.

Very interesting tour covering a few historic places in Santa Marta. Camilo Mateus was our tour leader, and this guy was really really amazing.

Great Overview of Santa Marta!

Published on Jan, 2024

Andres was an excellent tour guide and was so knowledgeable about the history of Santa Marta. He was also very easy going and fun to spend the day with. We first walked around the historic Old Town. He first walked us thru the gold museum explaining the importance of gold to the region. We then went to the Cathedral, the City Square and he even showed us the oldest Hostel in the city. We then drove to the suburbs to visit the Quinta de San Pedro Alejandrino, which was the house of the hacienda that was lent to Simon Bolivar in 1830. He was the liberator of Columbia and several other South American countries. He spent his final days there and passed away there. The house and grounds are a memorial to him and the area was beautiful. All in all it was a great trip and I highly recommend this tour and Andres!
