Dibulla

Colombian municipality of the department of La Guajira

Dibulla is a village on the Caribbean coast in Colombia.

Understand

Dibulla is a small little town alongside the Caribbean coast. Thankfully until now, it has not been hit by the mass tourism which spread along the coast from Santa Marta to Palomino. There are pristine beaches where you can swim and relax as well as mountain rivers which meander through the near Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta to the sea.

Dibulla is still off the beaten track, therefore you will basically have all the beaches for yourself and you propably won't meet a lot of people there. The infrastructure is therefore still a bit basic and there aren't a lot of restaurants and hostels, but that's exactly what makes Dibulla so charming.
