A private tour of Santa Marta's historic Old Town and the Quinta de San Pedro Alejandrino, the colonial hacienda where Simón Bolívar spent his final days, including the Cathedral and the tomb of city founder Rodrigo de Bastidas. This is a genuine one-on-one experience with your own private guide, without the pressure of keeping up with a large group. Real stops include Parque de los Novios, Simón Bolívar Park, the main Cathedral (with the tomb of city founder Rodrigo de Bastidas), and the Quinta de San Pedro Alejandrino — the colonial hacienda where Simón Bolívar, the liberator of much of South America, spent his final days in 1830.
Simón Bolívar died at the Quinta de San Pedro Alejandrino on 17 December 1830, at about one in the afternoon according to accounts, after weeks of illness. The hacienda, dating from 1608, belonged at the time to Joaquín de Mier, a Spanish-born landowner who hosted him; in Bolívar's day it produced rum, honey and panela.
The setting explains the tone of the visit. Bolívar had resigned the presidency and was heading toward exile in poor health, so the quiet gardens of the estate are as much about the end of the Liberator's story as about the independence struggle itself. Today the Quinta works as a museum and historical site.
In town, the Cathedral's cornerstone was laid on 8 December 1766 and construction ran into the 1790s. Sources describe the remains of founder Rodrigo de Bastidas (died 1527) as being kept inside the entrance, though his burial history is debated, so ask your guide how it is presented today.
