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.
