Hello! My name is Enrique, and I'm 39 years old. I'm a tour guide, and I'm passionate about this profession because it has allowed me to learn more about our culture, enjoy beautiful landscapes, and meet people from all over the world. I love sharing our customs with tourists and captivating them with our history and contemporary architectural beauty. I love this city; here you'll find so much history, be captivated by its landscapes, the warmth of its people, and its wide variety of cuisine. I invite you to experience the city in a special way, immersed in its living history throughout our tour... Santa Marta "The Faithful and Hospitable"
