Hello, my name is Oscar and I send you a warm greeting from Colombia’s Caribbean coast. I am a young Colombian deeply inspired by nature and by the experiences that connect us to our roots. Over the years, I have gained extensive knowledge of my country through a variety of adventures — from long cycling trips and diving expeditions to living with indigenous communities in the Sierra Nevada. I hold international certifications such as PADI for diving and AIDES for contingency management in wild and hard-to-access areas. I am currently in the process of obtaining my official guide card, and since guiding is my main economic activity, I am fully authorized under local law to practice while the certification is being finalized. I am based in Santa Marta, the city I chose to live in and grow professionally. Here I offer a variety of tours, including snorkeling and other experiences focused on sustainability and meaningful cultural exchange. For me, tourism is a way to highlight Colombia’s true identity — its stunning landscapes and rich cultural diversity — while helping to strengthen local economies and ensure that our communities continue to move forward. I operate year-round, depending on availability, and I look forward to sharing with you the beauty, stories, and hospitality of this unique region. Welcome to Santa Marta!

Overview of your Santa Marta tour
At the foothills of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta lies the Pearl of America — Santa Marta, the oldest city in Colombia. Here, history comes alive. We will step inside a 17th-century house that now holds the Tayrona Gold Museum, a place where the stories of trains, coffee, bananas, soccer, the port, and tourism are woven together. Our walk continues through the historic center, where each street tells part of the national story. To end the day, we’ll head to the bay to watch the sunset while enjoying a refreshing natural fruit juice — a perfect closing to a day filled with culture and tradition. In Santa Marta, we love to share our history as much as we love to live it. I invite you to be part of it. Welcome to Santa Marta!
