12. Taganga – Colombia
Just five kilometers away from Santa Marta, Taganga is a picturesque fishing village with a population of just 5,000 people. It’s the preferred destination for backpackers as they try to avoid the expensive resorts in El Rodahero.
The main beach is sometimes crowded with tourists (especially on weekends) and it’s also where the harbor is located — travelers are better off exploring Playa Grande or Bahia Concha. Taganga is also a great place for off-road motorcycling and scuba diving, with many diving spots in the Tayrona National Park nearby.
