Picture a place where the sun shines fiercely, the Caribbean Sea laps at white-sand shores, and the breeze whispers tales of pirates and hidden treasure.

This is the Caribbean Region, a paradise where the rhythm of cumbia blends with the murmur of waves. In Cartagena, colorful streets and centuries-old walls transport you to the colonial era, while in Santa Marta, the Sierra Nevada (one of Earth’s most irreplaceable places) rises majestically, home to the Indigenous Kogi, Arhuaco, Wiwa, and Kankuamo peoples.

Here, Gabriel García Márquez’s magical realism comes alive: in his hometown of Aracataca, you can feel the soul of Macondo. And in Barranquilla, the world’s most joyful Carnival invites you to dance to the beat of tambora drums and guacharaca rhythms.

From the mangroves of Ciénaga Grande to the coral reefs of San Andrés and Providencia, this region is a celebration of joy, diversity, and the magic of the Colombian Caribbean
