Conditions
On the day it was measured (Jan 2022): 25.7–28.5 °C, humidity 55–60%, gusts up to 59 km/h.
Santa Marta is summer almost all year. The strong breeze usually hits in August and again from December to January. When it does rain, dirt tracks get slippery and we adjust the plan.
From Bonda, just outside Santa Marta, we climb the Alto del Trompito and drop down to the Troncal del Caribe, the coastal highway toward Tayrona.
Then we turn around and do it again from the other side. Long and steady rather than steep: a ride to settle into a rhythm and hold it.
