Located in the bustling city of Santa Marta, the Simón Bolívar International Airport serves as a portal to the beautiful region of Magdalena Department. With several car rental services available right at the airport, you are just a drive away from the adventure that awaits. Let's review some crucial information you need upon arrival.
Several reputed car rental services are available at Simón Bolívar International Airport for you to choose from, including Avis, Budget, and Hertz. You can find their counters after exiting the baggage claim area, and you're free to pick up your reserved vehicle or even rent on the spot.
A compact or economy car is perfect for navigating the city's busy streets. However, if you plan to explore the mountainous areas or engage in some beach hopping, a 4x4 or SUV would be ideal. Upon exiting the airport, you can take the Route 90 – a scenic coastal road directly leading to downtown Santa Marta and other major local attractions.
Few easy-to-access gas stations like the Petromil and the Estacion de Servicio Terpel are within a few minutes' drive from the airport. These 24-hours services ensure you're always fueled up, ready to hit the road any time of the day or night.
Being a tropical region, Magdalena Department experiences warm temperatures throughout the year, with an average around 27°C. Unlike the unpredictable British weather, here you can expect plenty of sunshine, perfect for exploring the stunning Caribbean coastline and hiking.
Here, the Colombian Peso is the only accepted currency. It's recommended to have some on hand, although most places accept credit cards. The exchange rate tends to be favourable — another reason your holiday here will be easy on the purse.
Once you've settled in, it's time to explore the surrounding cities. The historic city of Santa Marta, famed coastal fishing village of Taganga, and the picturesque town of Minca are all within a short drive.
Driving in Colombia can be an exciting yet different experience from your familiar UK roads — it's right-hand driving here. Be mindful of local traffic rules, always wear your seatbelt, and avoid driving at night when the visibility can be poor, and you'll be good to go!
With these tips, you're all set for an incredible journey through the captivating landscapes and vibrant culture of Colombia's Magdalena Department, starting from Simón Bolívar International Airport. Safe travels!
