Quinta de San Pedro Alejandrino, the historic hacienda where Simón Bolívar spent his final days, is a prominent cultural attraction in Santa Marta. It is generally accessible, though some older sections may have limited wheelchair access. Visitors can explore independently with informational signage, but guided tours are highly recommended to fully appreciate the historical significance and botanical gardens. The site is open year-round with typical holiday closures; visiting during the cooler morning hours is advisable due to Santa Marta's tropical climate. Expect a modest entrance fee, typically a few USD, and allocate 1.5 to 2.5 hours for a comprehensive visit. Beyond the main house, the extensive botanical gardens and the Altar de la Patria monument offer additional points of interest, making it a culturally rich experience.
