One of the oldest surviving European-founded cities in South America, wedged between the Caribbean and the world's highest coastal mountain range. Its restored historic center hums with rooftop bars and seafood restaurants, and it serves as the launch pad for Tayrona, Minca, and the Lost City trek.
