What to expect
Welcome to Plaza Parque Simón Bolívar, a vibrant and historical heart in Santa Marta, Colombia. Nestled amidst lush greenery, this iconic plaza is a living testament to Colombia's rich heritage, named after the liberator Simón Bolívar. Here, you'll find locals and tourists alike basking in the warm Colombian sun, surrounded by colonial architecture and the soothing sounds of street musicians. The plaza is a perfect blend of history and culture, offering a glimpse into the soul of Santa Marta.
Welcome to Parque de Los Novios, a charming and historic landmark in the heart of Santa Marta, Colombia. This picturesque park, also known as Parque Santander, has a fascinating history that stretches back centuries. Originally a small lake fed by the Manzanares River, it was transformed into a bustling market plaza in the 19th century. After the market relocated, the locals affectionately named it Placita Vieja, a name that has evolved over time. Today, Parque de Los Novios is a beloved spot for both locals and visitors. Its romantic name, 'Park of the Lovers', was inspired by the many couples who frequented it decades ago. However, don't let the name fool you; this park is a welcoming space for everyone, whether you're traveling alone, with friends, or with family.
Welcome to the scenic Parque Camellón Rodrigo de Bastidas, a historical and picturesque promenade located in the heart of Santa Marta, Colombia. Named after the city's founder, Rodrigo de Bastidas, this park offers a serene escape with its lush landscapes and rich history. In 1925, to commemorate the 400th anniversary of Santa Marta's founding, Colombian historian Ernesto Restrepo Tirado, then Consul in Seville, Spain, commissioned a bronze statue of Rodrigo de Bastidas. Sculpted by José Lafita, the statue, initially delayed, was eventually placed in its current location, adding historical depth to the park.
