Want all the details on taking the bus or flying between Medellín and Santa Marta? HOW TO GET FROM MEDELLÍN TO SANTA MARTA (BUS OR FLIGHT): COLOMBIA TRANSPORT GUIDE Getting around Santa Marta

I’d recommend getting a cheap flight with Viva Air if you’re coming from Medellín. Medellín is one of the few journeys in Colombia where taking the 18hrs+ bus (195,000COP / $76AUD) is actually more expensive than flying (80,000COP / $32AUD), even when you add in the 45,000COP for checking a bag. Read this super detailed guide for step-by-step instructions on getting from Cartagena to Santa Marta: HOW TO GET FROM CARTAGENA TO SANTA MARTA (BUS OR SHUTTLE): COLOMBIA TRANSPORT GUIDE Medellín to Santa Marta There are near-constant buses operating between Cartagena and Santa Marta tickets are typically 28,000COP / $11AUD and the journey takes 5-6hrs, plus a taxi out to the distant bus terminal (15-20,000COP / $6-8AUD). Instead, I’d recommend the Berlinastur shuttle, which can get you there in about 4hrs and for the same total price (40,000COP / $16AUD ticket + 5,000COP / $2 taxi).

Santa Marta has an airport and a reasonably large bus terminal, which easily connects it to other Colombian cities like Medellín and Bogota (I’d recommend flying) or Cartagena (where a shuttle is the best option).
