I Live in Santa Rosa de Cabal. I'm looking to move to Santa Marta, specifically Taganga. I would appreciate any help or insight you feel comfortable sharing. Need 3/4 bdrm. Furnished or not. Looking for some quiet.

Thanks in advance

Dear Ed,

This is a move from the mild-weather Coffee Zone

to a fishing village/divers Mecca in the hotter

lowlands of Northern Colombia.

From Lonely Planet...

"Taganga today is somewhat of a cautionary tale

about the overdevelopment of small towns (and)

has gone from a near-obligatory backpacker stop

to a rather depressing place where

poverty is rife and much of what attracted visitors

has disappeared."
