Santa Marta tour FAQs

Common questions about booking Santa Marta experiences through SimilarTours

When's the best time to visit Santa Marta?

December through March offers the driest weather, which matters if you're trekking or doing desert tours. The rainy season (May-November) brings lush landscapes but also muddy trails and occasional cancellations. Most tours run year-round, but check before you go for seasonal conditions.

How far ahead should I book the Lost City trek?

The 4-5 day Lost City tours book up fast, especially in peak season - aim for at least 2-3 weeks ahead if possible. If you're flexible on dates, you'll find slots easier, but don't count on walking up and joining the next group.

Are guided tours essential here, or can I explore solo?

Guided tours aren't optional for the Lost City - it's legally required and culturally important to hire licensed operators who work with indigenous communities. For Tayrona beach time, you can go solo, but the real experiences - multi-day treks, desert motorcycle expeditions, private boat trips - are built around guides who know the terrain and local culture.

What's included in these multi-day tours?

Most include accommodation, meals, and ground transport, but lodging ranges from basic jungle camps to more comfortable setups depending on the tour level. Check before you go on specifics like meals, water, porter services, and whether activities like the boat trips or motorcycle rides are add-ons.

How do I get around Santa Marta town itself?

Taxis and moto-taxis are cheap and fast. Most tour operators offer hotel pickup, so you won't need to navigate much on your own. The port area where tours depart can feel sketchy at night - stick to main streets and stay with your group.

Is this trip suitable for families or people with mobility issues?

The Lost City trek is physically demanding and not recommended for young kids or anyone with significant mobility challenges. Day trips like private Tayrona boat tours are more accessible, but rugged terrain is the norm here. Check tour descriptions carefully for accessibility details.

Do I need a guide for La Guajira desert or Punta Gallinas?

Yes - the desert is remote, roads are rough, and local guides add cultural context visiting indigenous communities. Most visitors book 4-5 day packages that include motorcycle transport, accommodation with guides, and interaction with native peoples.
