Travel Tip: No cashpoints in the village!

2 stars
Published on Jun 24, 2008 by LucyHB for Taganga

Arriving at Santa Marta bus station from Cartagena, I decided to give the hot town a miss and head straight for the little village of Taganga. I hopped on a combi bus heading there, and the driver was kind enough to drive around the side streets of the village until he found the hostel I was looking for. I secured a room, but then realised I had no money on me. Of course, this being a teeny tiny fishing village, there's no cashpoint. So it was back down to the bus stop to head straight back into Santa Marta in search of somewhere to draw cash.
Although some places in the village accept cash, these are few and far between, so you'd be advised to make sure you have enough on you to last at least a day - it's a quick, combi ride into Santa Marta, but never underestimate how lazy the heat here can make you feel.
