Discover the Birthplace of Magical Realism in Aracataca
From Santa Marta, we venture into the heart of García Márquez’s world—Aracataca. This is where the legend of Macondo was born, and where you will walk through the very streets that inspired a Nobel Prize-winning masterpiece. Guided by Tim Buendía, whose deep connection to the town and its history will bring every corner of Aracataca to life, you’ll uncover the essence of magical realism. Explore the modest home where García Márquez was born, now a museum, and engage in discussions and readings of his work. As you wander through this picturesque town, you’ll feel as though you’ve stepped into the pages of One Hundred Years of Solitude, becoming a character in the world of Macondo itself. Aracataca’s rich culture, once overlooked by many, now offers a unique experience that will change the way you see not only García Márquez but the world around you. |

Ascend to the Serene Mountains of Pueblo Bello

Nestled in the Sierra Nevada, this peaceful retreat offers stunning natural beauty and a deep connection to Colombia’s indigenous heritage. Here, you’ll have the opportunity to explore the cloud forests, visit ancient sacred sites, and learn about the traditions of the Arhuaco people. The serene environment of Pueblo Bello provides a perfect counterpoint to the bustling streets of Santa Marta and the historical richness of Aracataca. It’s a place where you can reconnect with nature and reflect on the incredible journey you’ve undertaken. |
