Local knowledge for Palomino

Where to stay

Most budget travelers stay along Carrera 6a, the main sand road running from the Troncal del Caribe highway down to the beach, where the cheaper hostels and dorms cluster within walking distance of the surf. Stay closer to the highway end for lower prices, or pay a bit more to be near the beach at the bottom of the road.

Getting around

  • Get dropped at the Palomino entrance on the Troncal del Caribe and take a mototaxi down Carrera 6a for a few thousand pesos instead of dragging your bag along the sand road in the heat.
  • Bring cash from Santa Marta before you arrive; the ATMs in town are unreliable and often empty, and most hostels and the river tubing guys only take pesos.
  • Book the Rio Palomino tubing through your hostel rather than the beachfront touts, and do not swim where the river meets the sea since the current there is strong and has caught people out.

When to go

Hostels are cheapest in the September to November rainy stretch and fill up fastest during the December to January holidays and again around Easter, with a smaller bump in July and August.
