Price calculated. Change the date or destination if you like.
A private transfer from Santa Marta Airport (SMR) to Santa Marta Historic Centre (Centro Histórico) costs €25 per car for 1–3 passengers and €35 per van for 4–8. It is a fixed price for the whole vehicle, the same amount you pay when you book. The road distance is 18 km via 90; the drive takes about 15 min with clear roads, so plan on 15–25 min at busy times.
Where the driver waits: The driver waits in the arrivals hall (Hall de Llegadas) on the first floor of the passenger terminal, after baggage reclaim, holding a sign with your name. We track your flight and the first 60 minutes after landing are free; the driver helps with your luggage.
The airport sits on the coast about 16 km south of the old centre of Santa Marta, at kilometre 12 of the road to Ciénaga. The drive follows the Troncal del Caribe (Route 90) north past Pozos Colorados and the Bello Horizonte beach hotels, then skirts the hills behind El Rodadero and Gaira before entering the city through the Mamatoco side or along the port road. The trip is mostly on a dual carriageway, with heavier traffic at rush hour and on holiday weekends.
Santa Marta's historic centre is a compact grid of low colonial streets between the bay and Avenida del Ferrocarril. The white Cathedral Basilica, the Parque de los Novios with its restaurants and the seafront Camellón Rodrigo de Bastidas promenade are all a few blocks apart, and the Santa Marta marina and Playa de los Cocos lie at the northern end of the promenade. Some streets around the Parque de los Novios are closed to cars in the evening, so drop-offs are made on the nearest open street.
Public transport: The airport operator's website lists no scheduled airport bus or rail link; it describes only the car rental and transport desks in the arrivals hall on the first floor.
