Free Hiking Tour - Ancestral Taganga - the footprints of the Tayrona
My name is David Lemus, a local tourist in love with these lands since the first time he set foot on them. Philosophy student and passionate about history, Owner and legal representative of Turismo Local Santa Marta, a community and regenerative tourism operating agency in Magdalena. My commitment to our territory is to show you the contrasts that Santa Marta has. I have worked alongside indigenous, peasant and fishing communities in the development of regenerative tourism with a positive impact on our region and the environment. During this time I was introduced to sociology and anthropology, which has allowed me to learn about the different cultural perspectives that represent the diversity and cultural heritage of our region, such as those of our indigenous, fishing, raizales, rural and urban communities. Welcome to the imposing Magdalena
Pickup
