Best time to visit
Brechen Sie früh am Morgen (vor 8 Uhr) auf, um die Wasserfälle ohne Menschenmassen zu genießen und die Vögel in ihrer aktivsten Zeit zu sehen. Die Trockenzeit von Dezember bis März bietet die besten Bedingungen für Wanderungen.
Budget tips
Der Zugang zu den Wasserfällen kostet zwischen 5.000 und 15.000 COP (1-4 €) pro Ort. Die Mototaxis vom Busbahnhof Santa Marta kosten etwa 25.000 COP für die Auffahrt, handeln Sie den Preis aus, bevor Sie einsteigen.

About
Quick facts: Perched at 600 meters above sea level in the Sierra Nevada, this former coffee-growing settlement has about 700 permanent residents. Its temperatures range between 20 and 28 degrees Celsius all year round, a refreshing contrast to the coastal heat of Santa Marta, which is only 45 minutes away.
Highlights: The 12 waterfalls accessible on foot from the central village offer natural pools where water flows directly from the Sierra Nevada glaciers at 16 degrees Celsius. A local ritual involves climbing to the Marinka waterfall before 8 a.m. to catch hummingbirds drinking in the spray, their wings beating 80 times per second.
