Museo del Oro Tairona - Casa de la Aduana
The gold museum allows us to observe different pieces of pre-Hispanic and current indigenous art. In this wonderful place we will talk about who the Taironas were and why they became extinct. On the other hand, as its name indicates, we can appreciate pieces of gold.

Parque Simon Bolívar
In every place and corner of Colombia there is some place related to the same name "Simón Bolivar", and here we explain a little bit of everything; pre-Hispanic history, independence history, architecture, sculptures, etc. It almost feels like traveling back in time!

The San Francisco square is a very old place in Santa Marta, here you can appreciate the daily life and local economy or well known as "rebusque" in the popular Colombian slang. In this place we talk about the pirate attacks related to the catholic religion in the caribbean.
