taganga




taganga is a bay north of santa marta. it is a fishermen’s village that has developed into a tourist destination. it is pretty and very protected from the crazy winds. the people are friendly and the food is spectacular. fruits, fish, plantains and everything coconut imaginable. simply delicious!



















we were told this place has become a very popular destination among Israelis after their graduation. we really could not tell the nationality of the tourists but we did notice the town was mostly visited by backpackers; and the place had lots of hostels.  the atmosphere is very laid back with people enjoying the sun and the beach and lots of vendors of beautiful handcrafts; mostly hats and the mochila arahuaca which is a beautiful handmade purse.
