A horse hike into the Sierra Navada de Santa Marta, an isolated mountain range in Northern Colombia.
The Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta is a magical destination where the wisdom of nature and the indigenous people are joined. Every step taken into its depth is an encounter with truly unique beauty and exuberance. It is the tallest seaside elevation independent of the Andes mountain chain. The Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta is the tallest seaside elevation independent of the Andes mountain chain. It possesses all the thermal floors, from the hot and dry to the perpetual snows whose melt-water creeks feed lakes and rivers 3,000 meters above sea level. Countless birds and howling monkeys live along the Sierra’s 29 main rivers. On account of the network of ecosystems that are home to countless life forms and several indigenous communities, in 1979, Unesco declared the Sierra a Biosphere Reserve and a World Heritage Site. This imposing mountain range is located in northern Colombia and occupies parts of the departments of Magdalena, La Guajira, and Cesar. Just 42 kilometers away from the warm beaches of the Colombian Caribbean, there is a marvelous, icy landscape for ascending to perpetual snow. The two highest peaks of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta are Colón and Bolívar, at 5,775 meters above sea level, although some say the former is one meter taller than the latter.
