Escape to life by the sea. Feel the raw energy of the Sierra Nevada mountains. Discover peace on empty, white sand beaches. Rise with the sun over the Caribbean and fall asleep counting falling stars in the Milky Way. Welcome to Colombia, the "Country of Beauty," where the land is defined by its incredible diversity and charm.
Buritaca is a small, bohemian, rustic coastal town in northern Colombia near Santa Marta, renowned for where the freshwater Buritaca River meets the Caribbean Sea.
This is a place teeming with diverse flora and fauna, crisscrossed by rivers flowing from
snow-capped peaks, and inhabited by indigenous peoples such as the Kogi, Wiwa &
Arhuaco. It is precisely these cultures that are entrusted with maintaining the harmony of
the spiritual universe, and in their mission, they have chosen to share their ancestral
wisdom with those who decide to venture into this magical territory.
Enjoy 6 nights and 7 days at the foothills of the impressive and magical Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, the world’s highest Coastal Mountain Range. This area is referred to as the Heart of the World, not only because of it’s geographical location, but more importantly because every single ecosystem exists and thrives in the Sierra Nevada mountains. (We will spend one night in Santa Marta on Jan. 15, 2027).
