Sits on a beautiful bay of calm waters from where the snowy peaks of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta can be seen.   Joseph Conrad, the renowned British novelist of Polish origin, changed the bay’s name in one of his novels to “the placid gulf” from where “Higuerota’s” peaks were visible.  Simon Bolivar, who liberated Colombia and five other American republics, died in Santa Marta at the San Pedro Alejandrino Estate, an old estate now a famous national monument.  Approximately 400 thousand people live in the national and international tourist center of Santa Marta whose beautiful Caribbean streets and squares have survived for over four centuries.
