Nestled in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, the Don Diego River area is a hidden gem just waiting to be discovered. This pristine natural wonderland is located about 1.5 hours from Santa Marta, and offers a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of the city.
The Don Diego River area is known for its lush forests, crystal-clear waters, and abundant wildlife. Here, you’ll have the chance to spot a wide variety of birds, including toucans, parrots, and hummingbirds. You may also encounter small crocodiles known as babillas, as well as howler monkeys swinging through the trees.
