8 Night Southern Caribbean Cruise

Santa Marta, Colombia's charming coastal gem, is more than the average tropical paradise. Sure it's got warm Caribbean surf and white sand beaches but it's also much loved for the stunning Sierra Nevada mountain range that towers above it. And being the oldest city in the country also has its advantages, starting with a fair share of architectural treasures. Spend your day touring the Santa Marta Cathedral or visit the ruins at both the Bonda and the San Fernando forts. Just don't put too many miles on those feet.

Columbus discovered this land on his fourth voyage to the Americas and was so impressed that he named it Costa Rica, or the rich coast. Puerto Limón is overflowing with natural wonders - towering mountains once thought to house gold and silver, magnificent rain forests containing more than 2,000 varieties of orchids, and of course, seductive, sun-drenched beaches.
