Things to Do on Colombia's Caribbean Coast

Colombia's Caribbean coast extends 800 miles from Panama to Venezuela, encompassing Cartagena's colonial walled city (founded 1533) and Santa Marta (1525). Tayrona National Park, 20 kilometers from Santa Marta, combines 37,500 acres of jungle meeting Caribbean beaches. The Lost City (Ciudad Perdida), built in 800 CE by the Tayrona people, sits 2,100 meters up a jungle-covered peak.
