Travel & Accommodation

The Wedding Website of Adriana Vargas and Brett Ciancola
Welcome to Santa Marta! we can't wait to have you join us. Santa Marta is a city on the Northern Coast of Colombia, close to the equator, a few hours drive from Cartagena. It was one of the last settlements of the Spanish in South America before they were defeated. One of Colombia's largest national Parks, Tayrona, is located just 45 minutes from the city, with beautiful beaches and the trail to Ciudad Perdida (lost city) an ancient city discovered in 1976 and is believed to have been founded about 800 AD, if so, Ciudad Perdida pre-dates Machu Picchu by about 650 years. The climate in this area is tropical, so it will be very warm, with a strong UV index, so don’t forget your sunscreen! "Friendly reminder to please check your passport expiration date. Six months validity beyond your travel date is required by Colombia guidelines."

Flight

Simón Bolívar International Airport

If you are traveling from out of the country, you can fly to Bogotá (El Dorado International Airport) and from there take a connecting flight to Santa Marta (Simón Bolivar International Airport). If you are flying from Connecticut, the easiest way is to fly from JFK. Once in Santa Marta, we recommend pre-booking a cab to pick you up from the airport (most likely through your accommodation). Otherwise we will provide information for trusted Transportation companies to book taxis with. You can expect the ride from the airport to the hotel area to be about 20 minutes.
