It's an important place for farming mango trees and also ranching, and also the birthplace of vallenato, a traditional musical genre of colombia.

    Santa Marta was founded in 1525, making it the second oldest city in the continent.Its founder, Rodrigo de Bastidas, had a different vision than the other conquistadors, and saw in Santa Marta a place where he could leave a legacy and rest in peace.

In 1596 its development was boosted and the city became a staging ground for important expeditions to neighboring territories.
