It is recommended to spend between 2 and 3 hours exploring the estate, its gardens, the museum, and the house where Simón Bolívar died. If you are interested in history, you may want to extend your visit to enjoy the detailed explanations.

This place is historic because Simón Bolívar died here on December 17, 1830. In addition, the estate was a colonial plantation that now houses a museum with the Liberator’s personal belongings and exhibits on the history of Colombia.

The best time to visit is in the morning, when the weather is cooler. Avoid the hottest hours, from 12:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. The dry season, from December to April, is ideal for avoiding rain.

Yes, the estate has ramps and adapted areas for people with reduced mobility. However, some garden paths may be uneven. It is recommended to contact the site in advance to arrange assistance.

Nearby you can visit Santa Marta Historic Center, the Cathedral Basilica, Parque de los Novios, and Taganga Beach. Tayrona National Park is also about 30 minutes away by car.

Bring water, sunscreen, and comfortable shoes. If you want a richer experience, hire a local guide or use an audio guide. Don’t forget to visit the chapel and the altar where Bolívar’s funeral mass was held.
