"Playa del muerto"

“El Rodadero” is the principal beach in Santa Marta, It is situated downtown. I didn´t like this place. It's very contaminated, the sea isn´t clear and ligt blue like the Caribbean always is, and it's always is full of people. Instead, “Playa del Muerto”, also known as “Playa Cristal” is the most beautiful beach that I have visited. The sea is deep blue, the sand is white, the place is quiet and solitary, the beach is practically only for you.

This place is too far from the city. You can only get on a private car (tour) or on a "Chiva" that transport people that working on this beach. It is a deserted, so all the people who work here (kitcheners, boaters, sellers...etc) come of the city.



This "Chiva" comes at 5am o´clock in the morning, so my mom, mi cousin and me had to arrive to the marketplace at 4:30am.

Everyone that we met were beautiful, friendly, cordial, we were the only tourists. We arrive very early to the beach and could enjoy it practically to ourselves.



To reach this beach specifically have to go by boat or turn over all the ground in the woods, I chose to do the latter, but I fell on the road and hurt my leg.

Here, I ate "arepa de huevo", a special food that to do with mass of corn and an egg inside.

I had a problem in this place, I developed an allergy with sea the salt, and I couldn´t swim.
