The East Caribbean coast of Colombia is well known to foreigners and Colombians alike. Many agencies offer their services to help travelers discover the different sites in this region. There is a wide range of accommodations, tours, and restaurants. However, be aware that prices increase significantly during the high season (December to February).

Enjoy a fantastic sunset from the old city wall of Cartagena de Indias and relax on a beautiful white sandy beach in the Rosario Islands.

Once in Santa Marta, organize different expeditions to explore the secrets of the Sierra Nevada. Explore the ruins of The Lost City, observe hundreds of colorful birds in Minca, disappear in Paso del Mango, or hike in the famous Tayrona National Park.

Then head to Palomino or Dibulla for some relaxation before heading to the La Guajira Desert.

We also discovered some very little-known places during our last expedition on the eastern part of the Caribbean coast. Discover them below as you read on!
