Today I have been trying to decide on the hotel to stay in when I spend one night in Santa Marta. After visiting Bleidis and Maria on Monday, I will have to leave for about an hour's drive to Santa Marta, probably by the Inventour van or another van called Cochetur. I need to check this week to see which one might be the best to travel in. Travelling by taxi is another option that I may need to check into also. The hotels in Santa Marta seem to be reasonably priced and after much searching, I decided to try one called the Hotel Edmar. I chose it because it is in my price range,  has no cancellation fee if I need to choose a different one, has a restaurant and looks nice :)
