Private and executive transportation in Santa Marta with more than 20 years of experience: 24/7 transfers from Simón Bolívar Airport (SMR), trips to Tayrona, Minca, Palomino and the Lost City trek, cruise-passenger excursions and corporate routes to the Port and the Zona Bananera. White-plate vehicles with valid FUEC, bilingual drivers and 4x4 options.
Simón Bolívar International Airport (IATA: SMR) is 16.5 km from downtown Santa Marta, about 30 minutes by road. We run door-to-door private transfers 24 hours a day with real-time flight monitoring: if your flight changes, your pickup time adjusts. To El Rodadero the transfer takes about 25 minutes and to Taganga about 40.
Santa Marta is Colombia's nature-tourism hub. We offer private transfers to Tayrona National Park (Zaino entrance, 35 km, about 45 minutes), Minca (20 km, about 40 minutes — the last stretch to some hotels requires a 4x4) and Palomino (80 km, about 1.5 hours). Vehicles range from sedans to 53-passenger buses for corporate groups.
The Lost City is Colombia's most iconic trek: 4–5 days through the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta to Tairona ruins at 1,200 m. The trek starts at Machete Pelao / El Mamey, about 2 hours by vehicle from Santa Marta. We offer private executive transfers to the starting point with a bilingual driver.
International cruise ships call at Santa Marta's maritime terminal. We provide shore-excursion transportation to Tayrona, Minca, the Historic Center, the Quinta de San Pedro Alejandrino (where Simón Bolívar died) and the Rodadero beaches, timed to the ship's schedule.
Santa Marta has a significant industrial side: the Port, the Zona Bananera (banana exports), the coal sector and industrial fishing. We design corporate routes for executives visiting these operations, with a bilingual driver and a valid FUEC for each service.
We offer intercity executive transfers: Santa Marta to Cartagena (about 4.5 hours), to Barranquilla (about 4 hours via Ciénaga), to Riohacha (about 3 hours via Palomino) and to Valledupar (about 4 hours).
All our vehicles in Santa Marta are white-plate, with a valid FUEC for every service. Professional bilingual drivers with verified records, trained in defensive driving and international protocol. Biosecurity certified by Bureau Veritas. Armored SUVs are available on request.
